Here is a screenshot with a modified date of 7/20/1999.

This UI functionality was available day 1 of release.

This patch removed the necessity of clicking the 'Meditate' button itself located on the spellbook.


Then, in 2002:

So your telling me they made it an option to play with a quarter of the viewable area or all of it? What kind of sadistic crazy person would do that. I played from day one until early Kunark playing with a quarter of the viewable area because I didn’t know to press F10?

It's not sadistic, it made sense and a lot of games were made that way years ago. Why? It's called framerate, something that's largely forgotten in modern P99 setting of running a 15 year old client on modern super-power PC's. People on this board are complaining at being locked to a 'mere' 60 FPS. In the original game plenty of people were getting framerates in the teens or 20's even using the resource-saving 'periscope mode'.

Far enough. Nonetheless I played that way and never knew different until they changed the whole UI I guess. 🤔

Confirmed. I was a savvy 12 year old f10er in 2000 slaying aviaks and treants.
