Game resolution

Hello! It’s me again.
Whenever I play Thrive, I think the resolution is less than expected. Is this expected to happen? Detail:I use a 4K TV as a monitor. Is because of the 4k TV? I apologize for any inconvenience that may be causing you.I don’t know if you can see the image resolutions as same as I do, but down here is the image!

It looks like you have scaling enabled in Windows. Thrive doesn’t have any special feature to tell Windows to not do scaling on it. So Windows tells thrive to render to a smaller window, which is then upscaled by Windows, with the end result being blurry. This is the case with all programs that haven’t been programmed to be scaling aware in Windows.

So, is there something I have to do? Or this has no solution?

You can disable scaling in Windows to fix Thrive, and likely a bunch of other programs as well, being blurry.
The upcoming Godot version of Thrive (which will be 0.5.0), might scale correctly. If it doesn’t either then a feature request needs to be submitted to Godot to add scaling support.

Thank you Thrive Lord! Good luck in the engine switch! :grinning:

Sorry for noticing it just now :neutral_face:, but the Godot build doesn’t scales correctly. So did you mean that I have to scale it correctly in the future or it is really a problem? :no_mouth:

edit: I know almost nothing about programming and switching engines, so I may speaking stupid
things

It seems that Godot does support handling Windows scaling: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/9275
Though, we’ll need to enable the option in Godot. I’ll make a note of enabling that feature before 0.5.0 is released.

It has now been turned on, so let’s hope that 0.5.0 works for you once released:

Hahaha I was reading that thing in Github now!
Still congratulations and thank you for all people who contributed! :thrive: :wink:
YES yes yes

may be unrelated but text in menu looking blurry in 1366x768 and i think it does for any other weird resolution, would be cool to set custom resolution than automatic only

Setting custom resolutions is an outdated concept (this is the opinion of the Godot Engine we use), thus we cannot provide a resolution option. Or well if someone manages to make one that works we would accept that as a contribution as Thrive is open source: GitHub - Revolutionary-Games/Thrive: The main repository for the development of the evolution game Thrive.

There will be a GUI scale option in the next release which may help with resolutions that aren’t clean multiples of 720p to get more crisp GUI.
