I have a middlin' 34" ultrawide and stream at native 2560x1080p using the NVENC encoder. At the maximum twitch bitrate, it uses <1Mbit/s and any scaling issues are avoided. Yes, people with 4:3 aspect ratio screens are going to get black bars, but that's their problem. I don't stream for money and can't be arsed about subs and bits and whatnot, but it's something to keep in mind if you have a commercial interest in it.

I specifically got a 1080p monitor because I wanted to dual-screen with my old 27"er, but it turns out the setup is just too wide for the nook where I sit. I /should/ have gone for 1280 or more vertical pixels in hindsight, but I can live with it. Needless to say, I could never return to a smaller screen size for FAF, the increased viewport is just so much nicer and improves your situational awareness.

One problem I did have was that the default UI layout is not workable for me - the resource bars at the top left are basically out of your ocular angle and you don't even see it flashing red. MovableUI mod sorted that out for me, I now place my stuff towards the center of the screen and it works well. Even though the mod has some issues, I couldn't go without it even on a smaller screen I think.

Oh - I'm using a GTX970 for playing and encoding and it's powerful enough even at the highest quality settings I can configure. My bottleneck is my processor really - I only have 4c/4t and would recommend at least 4c/8t for creating a quality stream with overlays and allsorts.

@archsimkat said in Graphic Artist Wanted:

Why is there still discussion about existing proposals that aren't Petric's?

I don't have a dog in this fight (although I should tbh) - I think Petric's designs are nice, but are too busy. They force the eye to make sense of them, and that's less optimal.

PS. Did anybody ever play the arcade game Rygar? Hint hint...

Surely not?

Just a general observation: If something is not readable in monochrome or greyscale, it won't be readable in colour. In other words, don't let colour do your design work for you.

ETA: I just re-read the thread. The tiers 1-5 with 5 being the lowest make this somewhat unintuitive

Need to think of something else

I was hoping for some fix for the missing effects but alas it's still the same.

Just stop getting pushed out of the water by 5 frigates and voila, no need for cybran hover. Try scouting your opponent to not get owned by a "surprise fleet" of 30 ships that took 10mins to build. Hur hur hur hurrrrrrhyiebahahabaa

Stop talking shit. Air has to be blamed for something.

Can the sim thread be started without having the rendering and whatnot as a dependency?

You get a nifty badge which apparently brings the boys to the yard..

Windows defender exception needed maybe?

Give hives an enormous range - it'll give Kibran something to get back into the water....

Does Yuri actually stream? He only casts afaik?
