I sure do hate how massive and intrusive everything is now. Why is this a thing again?

    I am using Azurah UI addon to move bars back, because yeah now it is just horrible.

    I agree. It's unplayable with this huge UI....
    So I guess I need to learn how to play ESO with keyboard and mouse again... I just liked the relaxed position with the controller...

    Apparently there were some bugs with the UI scaling, though none I ever encountered or heard about...

    Hahaha, I just enabled it. I was used to the lowest HUD scaling because, along with ADD-ons, i was going for a minimal hud and immersive experience. Holy crap it's so bad, it's like too large even if it was scaled for a 4 inch phone XD

    I was expecting something bad, or at least not my usual settings, but this is something else. This is some Freddi Fish/Putt Putt *** lmao

    Advanced Disable UI isn't any better since you still cant scale it down...

    Agreed, forgot how big the default UI scaling was. I feel like most of the UI (buff trackers and such) literally cover up the whole screen without the scaling enabled.

    Agreed. It's such an eyesore.

    Why did they even go through with this? I don't use UI add-ons because they are really distractive... but the size of the gamepad UI this patch is honestly making those add-ons look good (I have a small laptop screen, so the ability bar takes up like 20% of my screen size, which is disgusting).

    There are 3 or 4 threads on this. What is dumb is they wanted to take out gamepad mode scaling which I did not use. When you turned that off, the UI on gamepad and keyboard were the same location size etc. Now gamepad mode is ridiculously huge. just make it the same scale...please. a 1440 or 4k monitor looks terrible

    It is a huge problem and I have not found a work around yet. Has anyone else?

    I spent quite a bit of time over the weekend working with Add-Ons which I really did not want to do, but they forced it. I'm using a combination of a few just to get close to what I used to have before the patch. I had to tailor everything. I am using Advance UI for the minimap and questtracker, I am using FTC and Srendarr too. Then using No Compass AddOn because the compass is so ridiculously large otherwise and NoCompass allows me to turn it off. With each AddOn, I had to go in and tailor specifics so that it would work for my screen. It isn't perfect, but I can at least spend some time with my friends now.

    I've been logging on to get daily rewards and materials since the patch but that's been it. Until they fix the scaling issue I am done. I don't understand why they even need to change the scaling from M+K to Gamepad to begin with. I've never encountered this in any other game before. The only thing I've seen changed in other games is button prompts go from keyboard buttons to gamepad buttons. Really hoping they do something about it because I love the game and what it has to offer, but if it's going to be stuck at a UI made for people with the vision of a 90yr old senior citizen, I'm canceling my plus and calling it a day.
