It should be 1280x800 for us 16:10 people. Steamdecks, MacBooks, a lot of newer gaming laptops. |

FYI, 960p is a popular resolution because you can use the zoom flag to get back to the 480p viewport with a smaller UI. |
You'd be able to run 1152x720 to maintain 16:10. Increasing the vertical height cap to 800 would allow the 1280 horizontal cap to be exceeded on 16:9 to 1422x800 using Fit to Screen. That's the reason I put the horizontal cap as well, since without it, you could easily bypass the restrictions using a larger width and Fit to Screen.
960p is a bit too much. (Although people using 4:3 monitors and Fit to Screen will be able to achieve 1280x960 using this PR)
I created this image awhile back to attempt to demonstrate "how much of the world" you're able to see at much between different Diablo games. At 720p, we are still exceeding what these other games allow the player to see, so 720p is generous. |

Nevermind fit to screen with 720p takes it up 800p |
Oh, I didn't think about it that way when explaining the Fit to Screen thing. Yeah that sounds right :D |
Okay, but people who play at 960p with zoom flag are actually just playing 480p with more of the game world visible around the menus. So your graphic does not compel me to agree with you here. 480p: 960p: |
Then I would believe the superior option here would be to allow up to 2560x1440p, while forcing the zoom flag for resolutions above 720p. |
|
I'd be fine with that. |
Perhaps we can add a 4x zoom option to conditionally allow the permazoomed players to still be able to zoom in the same way someone without permazoom can. |
|
I think it's fine if we don't. 960p zoom players currently can't zoom in that far, and UI scaling independently is on the roadmap for the project. |
Actually, I've come to the conclusion that this exact change would prevent the need for capping resolution altogether. 480p - 720p: 1x zoom (no zoom) |
|
Right, but there are other reasons to cap the resolution.

You're actually raising an interesting point that wasn't brought up in the discord. There are plenty of laptops out there with tweener screen resolutions like 1366x768 and 1600x900. Forcing them into a blurry fullscreen experience just because it's slightly more than the 720p limit is a bit harsh. Yeah, 4k does indeed make a lot of fixed sized designs of the past look silly. 4k is 4 times the pixels as 1080p. That kind of pixel density should probably be looking at doing some integer scaling. Whereas integer scaling on a 1080p display can come off as looking "chunky" and dated. Diablo isn't really a "pixel art" game either. It is 3d models converted to fixed size sprites, so it really can't pull of the big pixel look the way Super Mario Bros 3 can. |

min almost exceeds that cap at lowest resolution: 1146x480, it would limit me to a max of 536p 💩 |
I'm confused. You would only need to set a single dimension and then use fit to screen. It doesn't do a cap based on the screen dimensions after fit to screen expands the view area |

Cap screen resolution so that width cannot exceed 1280 and height cannot exceed 720 in order to prevent players from utilizing resolution as a meta gameplay strategy.
