Hello,

 

So yesterday I finally received my long-awaited 4K display, and one of the first things I did was see how Phoenix RIsing looks like and to maybe share primarily for the developing team to evaluate how the game will look like in the future when these displays will be ubiquitous, and perhaps when required make some adjustments. But, of course also for others to enjoy.

 

I can say with confidence though that I did not notice any immediate scaling flaws so few--if any--adjustments will be required. As is to be expected, the game looks absolutely stunning on 40" 3840 x 2160 with all visual effects settings to maximum. This mod in particular really reaps the benefits of the 8.3 megapixel resolution due to all the small starfighters and the likes.

 

Enough talk--here are the few screenshots I took of Phoenix Rising v1.2.

Feel free to post your own screenshots in this thread. Of course, it is not required for them to be 4K.

 

I myself will post any future screenshots I take in this thread.

 

Regards.

Looks great.
Post some larger scale fleet actions when you can.

I would, but it is sort of difficult right now.

 

IrfanView is the program I use to make screenshots but I cannot seem to get it to work properly with this high of a resolution. So the screenshots in the opening post are made by alt-tabbing and Windows' built in method.

 

I will probably get around to it sometime though.

 

Regards.

I use the same program, never really had an issue before with large images.

IIRC there's a screenshot button that saves to a folder for the game.

I have been using the program for years and never had any issues either. However, it is one of only two programs I have encountered that do not scale--in my opinion--acceptably to high DPI screens. Yes I know, technically my 40" 4K display only comfortably resides slightly in above average monitor-grade DPI territory, but my 3K 15.6" notebook makes the images themselves look atrocious. I am willing to bet that even 300% zoom in GIMP looks better than the default scale to windows size in IrfanView, regardless of the original dimensions of said image file. This might be evidence that the program has problems adapting to the scaling Windows utilizes, and therefore also impede its ability to function appropriately when taking screenshots. At least, that is what I am speculating. I myself have not searched for any solutions to this problem yet, however.

 

Regards.

View>Display Options> Do Not Fit Anything

Do you have it in that mode ?

If you've been using it for a while I don't see how not, but figured I'd make sure just in case.

edit: also, get some screen shots during cap ship battles with lotsa turbo lasers flying.

Yes, that mode turns off all scaling. However, I always initially need the fit to window size option for something else I always use the program for. But I will not elaborate on that as not to derail this thread.

 

Still though, it is unfortunate the screenshot mode does not seem to support these resolutions properly. It probably will work better if the scaling in Windows is not set to 200%, but I dare not ever to touch that option again. I altered it once on the desktop I used to own and it permanently butchered the entire OS for reasons unknown.

 

I appreciate the input though. I will look for alternative programs that have a screenshot mode with .PNG or .BMP support.

 

I shall remember to make some screenshots of large scale battles with plenty of visual effects to gawk at.

 

This does make me curious though. Question for the mod team: I have not modded this game for years, but would implementing higher resolution GUI icons be a possiblity? If so, would that be something you guys would be willing to include in any future releases?

 

Regards.

It's certainly possible to add higher-resolution icons, it's just not a very high priority. I think the original renders that PR created were quite high resolution so I expect it would be easy enough to make a high-res set, but as I have mentioned in the news PR is rather out of the loop at the moment.


Phoenix Rising, head of mapping. Thanks to everyone who got us to the position below!

Does it involve porn and a hand ?

Also, just hit enter, it'll go full screen and fit to window size.

Well, FRAPS in combination with IrfanView seems like a viable option.

 

To come back on my promise I have loads of screenshots. The amount of action, lasers, and explosions is plentiful in most.

 

Currently I have no time to find a solution on how to post them efficiently while retaining overview so I will give two options. The original images are .PNG 3840x2160 with level 9 compression. Especially the ones with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer's behindview with the Golan III Space Station in the back look absolutely stunning in 4K.

 

The opening post will be updated too.

I cannot seem to download any singular file in its original glory, but that might be due to my limited internet connection.
