I am a senior with eye problems. I recently wanted to update the game. On patch v7.14 the ingame text was large enough that I could see it ok. But when I installed the latest patch .914 the ingame text is so small I could hardly see it. Is there a way to make it larger. I tried my normal 1024x768 ...

Last year I was only charged $6.71 & no tax & that was for 2 boxed games. I live ...

1280x1024 seems to work

Everything changes with time. Rumor from unreliable sources has it that the treasure on Oak Island is now in Bitcoins. If you already know about them then disregard this post.
