Shadows - Font size issue fixed?

Post by alcamatraz »

Hi,

Are fonts in game readable at high resolution? (I don't mean crazy hi res, just 1920x1080 or similar)

I couldn't play Legends at this res, due to lack of font readability.

Thanks

There is a fix to expand the selection box. That helps for reading some key info. The rest? Pretty much the same.

1920x1080 is only a problem if sitting too far away, or having a tiny screen, though ;-)

I do not have any problems viewing it on my screen in 1920 x 1080, my screen size is 23 inches encase your wondering.

I'm using 2560x1440 on a 27 inch monitor. Pre-shadows, I found the box on the lower left virtually unreadable, it was so small. As stated above, with Shadows this box can be expanded and is now easily readable on my resolution. I don't have any issues with any other parts of the screen.

So I would say that this problem is fixed at least up to 27 inch screen size.

I think 1920x1080 on a 27" is ok with the bottom left selection box in expanded mode. The fonts are a bit on the small side but workable.
