Font and icon scaling

[Jim D Burns]

Really looking forward to this game, but am a bit worried as it uses a similar display to WitP. I hardly ever play that game any longer due to tiny fonts and icons that my old eyes have real trouble with. Any chance fonts and icons are scalable in this engine?

We've been working to make more of the screens have scalable fonts and many do - but not all. We've prioritized the ones you use to actually PLAY the game. In general, you'll get the best font size, by letting the game set the font size to match your display resolution.
But if you already use DPI scaling, it will work BUT it might not be optimal in terms of everything fitting on the screen.
We've been testing with 1k, 2k and 4k monitors and so far EVERYONE has signed off on thinking things are a LOT better than they were.
So at least we're trying to get there !!

Any chance you could make it so the screen was scrollable with the mouse wheel so extra large fonts too big to display on a single screen simply run off the bottom into a scrollable screen? Probably too late for those kinds of changes for this title, but perhaps possible in future releases? Just me wishing out loud lol. These days I need to use Zoomit to play most any game or even to simply read this forum, but it's a cumbersome tool and being able to increase font sizes in game to an x large font would be far more preferable to those of us who are optically challenged.

The individual screens are click and drag. That might help you....GP

There is an in game magnifier ! I think its "pressing the M key" ... I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard a lot of chatter about it.

Yes, I remember. It magnifies under the mouse pointer....GP
