ZOOM LEVEL

[DavidFaust]

Hi Guys,

I am having trouble reading most text in the game form the top menu bar to the numbers on divisions even at max zoom.

Is there a setting to rectify this?

To avoid captain obvious replies, I do have reading glasses and have never found a need to use them for gaming nor do I intend too.

The only thing I could think of is to use some type of "screen lense"-Tool. Otherwise it is how it is. Maybe you could edit some files to increase size of letters/numbers but then they will end up all over the place.

I have been using magnifier and it greatly helps. The problem with magnifier is that it restricts the view of information tabs. A example is when units are selected I need to scroll to the right to view the units stats and then move back to view the units on the map.

I hope that a screen resolution change could address this issue but dont know how to do it or if it is even possible.

I'm at the age where I need reading glasses all the time and struggle with small text.....I have a 32 inch second monitor, and play on that. Problem solved. That would involve an expense, granted...

I do all my gaming on a 32" TV 1080p/60. People always asked why I got a TV and not computer display. A 1080p TV is always that resolution no matter the diagonal; the pixels just get bigger. PC displays ... the resolution usually goes up with the diagonal. I think 32" is the largest which you can do for a desk. Anything more and you will be turning you head a lot to see the corners. Further if you need glasses, you will have trouble finding a satisfactory focal length with a 32", the focal distance to the center is around 60cm and 80cm to the corner.

The TV is around 7-8 years old, and I have a much older 21" 1600x1200/60 4:3 for a just a few old games if I every want to play them again. Like shooting pool is better on a display with more vertical pixels looking down your stick and the table. Also, it comes in handy to keep the manual open while playing WITE2 on the smaller monitor.
