Font Size, Map scroll

Post by blackcloud6 »

Getting back to the game and am going through the tutorial to refamiliarize with the game.

I have the manual up on a second monitor. When I move the mouse over to go to the manual the game scrolls to the right until I click on the manual. Is there a way to tun off the edge of screen map scrolling?

I'm getting old, and in many of the menus, Info boxes etc., the text is getting difficult to read. Is there a way to increase the overall font size of the game?

not a hugely helpful response but I use 2 screens and there is a bit of following the mouse on the other screen but not too bad. it depends on what I am doing, if I'm 'in' another window its stable, so for eg typing this, if I'm moving the mouse to select something new then sometimes there is a bit of a shift

For some reason I find it better with the game on the left monitor

there are a few settings in the preference screen such as scroll speed that may help, there is also a display scaling % that may help. This old thread has some other stuff on scaling that may be useful:

You can adjust the font type and size, I could give you my font config file, but I also downloaded a couple of free fonts and use them (mainly Hack font for reports and a few others) and it may vary depending on your screen size (I have a 5k monitor at max resolution. Note also you can change the Scaling Percentage (mine is set to 300%).

Here is some screenshots of my various font types, sizes and custom tweaks. (note I am using a custom map and counters for this demo):
