New loading screens are uncanny

Barto92 · March 2023

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?

Yeah this was an unfortunate addition indeed.

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.

There's also another one with a headless ashlander leading one of those dwemer shooty things. Sure is weird.

Foxhearted · March 2023

same, glad I'm not the only one that found these weird

SpacemanSpiff1 · March 2023

yea. very weird framing.

They look ok on my 1920x1080 screen, not cropped or anything, and they were a really pleasant surprise, I like them a lot, especially Khamira's screen!

Soarora · March 2023

Khamira’s always jumpscares me.

Same here.

They show with heads on my screen as well.

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?

TaSheen · March 2023

I'm using dual 28 inch Acers, at 3840x2160; heads are in the black fog area as well. Khamira looks wonderful in 4k though!

wilykcat · March 2023

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.

There is a thread praising the new load screens, this one in particular

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/629150/so-many-new-beautiful-loading-screens-show-us-your-favorite#latest

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

Need more Argonian love.

WuffyCerulei · March 2023

I might be looking respectfully with these. Add some more male character, ahem Jakarn or Sai Sahan, loading screens too as well plz.

wilykcat · March 2023

Where's this dude's head and feet? This is how some of the new loading screens look on my laptop. The robot shows up awesome though.

Hurbster · March 2023

27" Samsung Odyssey Monitor running at 1440p and everything is cropped.

ghastley · March 2023

Is it only PC/Mac where client aspect ratio is so variable?

DinoZavr · March 2023

I also use ultrawide and see beheaded legless people. Ugly. :'(
Strange the Art Team could not afford at least one 21:9 monitor. Maybe rent a one for testing purposes, please?

Aztrias · March 2023

3620x2036

cropped for me aswell, besides that I prefer the old artwork over these ingame graphic screenshot wallpapers

colossalvoids · March 2023

Indeed the quality also not there, apart from being cropped it's nowhere near the quality of usual art screens.

PurpleScroll · March 2023

I have a 1080p monitor and everything is cropped too.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

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).

FluffyReachWitch · March 2023

I use 1920 x 1080, a standard widescreen resolution. I'm getting the same cropped art issue.

SilverBride · March 2023

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.

Displaced_Salad · March 2023

16:9 and headless, sadge

GalWithDragonTattoo · March 2023

Same here, plain old standard 16:9/1920x1080 and everyone's heads are chopped off, with their busts as the focus of the screen!

SilverBride · March 2023

Is anything going to be done about this?
