Subsampling affected NPC/PLAYER names.. blurriness. Anyone else

Aesha · February 2017

I logged in today and noticed this. Odd thing, it was NOT happening yesterday. How are we expected to read this??

Are we going to be forced into a high subsample mode, just to stop from going blind?

I used to have this issue when I had my video cards Virtual resolution turned on.. first thing I checked, and I dont now.

Subsampling "fix" fail.

Here are examples on Low, Medium, and High

Low subsampling:

Medium subsampling:

High subsampling.

I just noticed, it seems to be affecting most everything.. but none the less, I see no reason to affect TEXT.

Its like looking at the game through saran wrap.. sheeesh.

Seriously, it was not like this yesterday..

Yeah it affects the chat box too. I assumed it was a known issue that will be fixed sometime in the future. I must already have subsampling at high or medium cos I can still read text and I have a smaller than default font.

That's because yesterday was before the patch that fixed the subsampling settings not working. You were literally stuck on high subsampling for the entire week.

But yes, I agree; nameplates should be treated as part of the HUD and be kept at the best quality. They should also be slightly larger because they're still barely readable at this point.

I agree about the nameplates, plus the chat box as FriedEggSandwich mentioned! I am not having the chat box issue though.. probably because I use an addon that modifies it.
