Oolite at 4K resolution

Hello. A question which I didn't know where to place. But are there plans for supporting 4K resolution? I have a new pc now which supports this. It would be awesome to play Oolite in 4k. I play No Mans Sky lately and it looks gorgeous in that resolution (I also find it a fun game which I picked up at a Steam sale). But I still play Oolite on Mac.
it would be great if Oolite would be able to support 4k displays.

Doesn't the Windows port of Oolite support 4K resolution already? This is an honest question, because I don't have 4K hardware to test, but I would expect the game to be able to see all resolutions provided by the graphics card driver and support the higher ones properly in 1.85 and later, where we've added high-DPI support.
For Mac we have Retina support (which I am not sure it goes up to 4K levels), but can't really tell you anything more. The problem is that we haven't had active Mac coders for a few years now.

Mmm. I thought it only would let met go to 2k. But I look it up later and will report back. I have an EVGA 1070 card to test it on.

Click - it is already working under Linux.

It does. I play on a 15" macbook pro at 3840 × 2400 pixels.
(This is technically not quite 'cinema' 4K. It is UHD (ultra high def) but people refer to it as 4K.)

I cannot go higher than 2560 X 1440. Even on the latest Trunk under Win 10.
My card is able to go to full 4k and also have a 4k monitor. Any ideas?

Please try this:
- Edit logcontrol.plist by changing the lines
Code: Select all
display.initGL = no;
display.mode.list = no;
to
Code: Select all
display.initGL = yes;
display.mode.list = yes;
- Start the game, then exit it and post the Latest.log here.

What refresh rate are you using, Pag? I have a feeling some 4k monitors only do max resolution @60Hz (and require Display Port).*
*I could well be wrong - monitor specs confuse me these days, and I've perused oodles of them lately.

I have (I believe) a high DPI Samsung laptop running windows 10 and oolite 1.84 and I consistently get in fullscreen in many resolutions where the bottom line is (where the time is and the current selected equipment) not visible. The list of full-screen resolutions the game offers does not seem to match the list of display sizes the os shows

This is due to the lack of high-DPI support in 1.84. Try 1.85 and it should be working fine.

Thanks. Is there a pre-built 1.85 somewhere, or is buiding from source the only option?

Yes, in fact we have a fully automated system generating 1.85 builds whenever there is a change in the main code and for all three platforms. Check
this post here for download information regarding the Windows 1.85 builds.
(Note: Current available build is one or two code revisions behind due to some issues with Terrastorage (our build generating server), but the latest available package is recent enough to contain the updates for high-DPI support).

Ok will try that later this week.

Thanks, I got it. Do I need to manually re-install all my OXPs or is there a way to transplant them from the 1.84 install?
