New loading screens are uncanny

So those are... forbidden secrets of Apocrypha?

I can only see busts on my loading screen.

We're 99,99% sure this wasn't intended but maybe it needs... further look into?

    There's no image cropping on my screen. I'm thinking that perhaps the images just aren't scaled to fit different display resolutions. I'm running ESO on a monitor with 2560x1600, by the way.

    I dislike these new loading screens because they do not aesthetically match the existing ones. Up until a few patches ago, all loading screens were concept art. These new screens are obviously Crown Store renders with a filter over them, and the comparison between concept art and in-game renders is jarring.

    And, yes, they are badly cropped and often cut off the top and bottom of the image, which is made worse when the letterboxing is applied.

    The downside of an ultrawide screen. I love my dual ultrawide setup, I just wish developers/designers would pay these resolutions a bit more heed when designing menus and load screens etc (the game looks glorious in ultrawide BTW).

    Edit: maybe something for the Q3 QoL patch @ZOS_Kevin, @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom?

    An issue common within most online games is how the loading screens often don't exactly fit on all various sizes of different computer monitors.

    Most laptop and computer screens aren't 4k dimensions but only the newest ones are. Most are 1920 x 1080 dimensions. A few are lower as well.

    The formatting bug has to be adjusted and fixed sometime during the next maintenance.

    So I am guessing you have an extra wide monitor with odd cropping of images.

    Not helpful at all. Thanks for nothing. Another dead thread for me from now on (I had to go searching in my profile for my reply in this thread to find it).

    I use 2560 x 1440 on a 27 inch curved gaming monitor and mine are cropped also.

    If I change the resolution to 1920 x 1440 it doesn't crop but the picture is squeezed in on the sides and more square shaped rather than rectangular with a lot of my screen not even being used.
