Default zoom level keeps increasing (zooming in)

In the past weeks, the default zoom level keeps increasing (zooming in). I can zoom in further (and back out) but not past the new zoomed in level. It’s making the game unplayable and range enemies can’t be targeted as they are now offscreen. I’ve tried all sort of fixes such as pc restarts, driver updates, resetting graphic settings, changing resolution, but I can’t get back to the normal default zoom level. This problem transfer to my other character also. Please advise as if this ke…

Can you go to a town and grab a screenshot? It helps the lurking employees, and can even help other users try to figure out what the problem is.

When submitting a bug post it is always a good idea to provide as many details as possible, including screenshots.

Yeah Mine hasn’t done that, but I can’t stand the default zoom in on a 16.9 monitor, 21.9 monitor is so nice, feels about perfect zoomed out, makes me glad I grab an ultrawide.

I am experiencing the same issue. My character is lvl 85 and it’s insane that I tried to connect a 4k monitor, reverted, and now the game is bricked. Tried everything from restarting to reinstalling the game entirely, and it’s not fixed.

So I’m a level 65 character so been playing long enough to have experienced the standard zoom level and notice the difference.
I’m playing on pc, with windows 11, and GeForce gtx 3600. My monitor is a Samsung odyssey G3 and I’m playing at the native resolution of 2K
Not sure how to attach an image

To post screenshots:

  1. Upload your image to a site such as imgur.com.
  2. Paste the link to your image into your post.
  3. Put ` marks around your link (same as ~ key). Like this: `imgur.com`
  4. Your link will look like this: imgur.com.

Just for future reference, Blizzard employees are not allow to access player’s personal storage space such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Etc.

I can upload your image to imgur for you, so they can see it. You can also use any other image hosing site, if you like.

Here is what my screen looks like:

much appreciated, that is really kind of you.
Looking at your it would seem zoom level is similar, but I definitely remember it being much more zoomed out.

Well, I just created a new level 1 hero on HC, which I have never played yet, and it looks about the same to me.

My image is just below yours.

If you look at the size of the stone circle around the waypoint, mine almost looks more zoomed in than yours.

My resolution is 1920x1080.

problem persist over new characters for me.
unless someone who is able to zoom out more can show a pic, then i’m going crazy.
Otherwise you’ve got the same problem as me.
:grinning:

Ignorance is bliss, for me. I would not have noticed.

Here is something I can do:

I have been posting screenshots for others for a while now. I will go round up some screenshots from other random players, and post them here.

That should give you an idea of what other players are seeing.

Give me a few minutes to go find some.

How do those compare to yours?

Yours is at the top.

So tired to match up images where possible

Most have a slightly better zoom than i have.
Second has worse than mine.

However none or the zoom level difference I feel I’m experiencing. I feel my original default zoom level was closer to that while riding the horse.

Let me embed those for you:





What do you think?

Each one of those images was from a separate player from the past month.

Look great thanks, there are minor variations, but not to to the extent I was expecting.
I still feel my original default zoom level was close to that while on horse.
But might be wrong.
Thank you for all your help so far.

Well, if it happens again or gets worse, you can post more images.

Also, you might search the web and grab some random screenshots from the internet to compare to.

You are not the only person to post this. Here are some other links:
