Hi Alien,

Could you please post a screenshot of what you are seeing in the game? Running at 1920 x 1080 here, things are quite clear.

Regards,

I'm usually running the game at 1920*1200 on my 15,6" inc laptop and it's sometimes a bit hard to read so I wouldn't mind a bit bigger text.

@ Tedesco

Nope, I don´t have the expansion. It is, as I take it, not available in Germany right now. And why would I buy it? I have not even played the first game.
Anyway, I think when the game had a problem with your files then it would not even start, would it? And the entries in the Galacopedia are in nice large letters now, only the key entries on the right site are still microscopic. I guess since you can klick them they are hardcoded as well.


@ Erik Rutins

Maybe my saying about blurry grey lines are a bit mistakable. Actually they letters look okay and what I am seeing in the game is is pretty much equivalent to Tedescos first screenshot. (But of course I will still post a pic if you want me to.)

Blurry grey lines is what I am seeing on 1920 x 1080 as well as on 1600 x 900 and with a distance to my TFT bigger than 2 feet (and even then I have to squint). See, I am pretty myopic. Add to this an heavy astigmatism and you might understand why I am not able to read anything and why I would be so happy about bigger letters.

Well, no help in sight...

I was tinkering with the game for some time and still could not find adjustments that would fix my problem. There seems to be no way to enlarge those tiny little letters.

I will stop buggering with my problem, kick the game in the bin (and accept loosing 40€ that way) and remember not to buy any games from Matrix anytime soon. [:(]

Hey, try this.

It automatically changes your desktop resolution when you start the game, you can choose whatever you want. Makes things much easier on the eyes!

I have to agree and say that the worst thing about the UI in this game is the game font. Yeah, it looks a bit sci-fi and probably better than times new roman, but still....

Thank you very much for trying to help, but this will not work. As already said at least on my rig the game refuses to start with resolutions lower than 1600x900. And even with this resolution I am not able to decipher those tiny letters. I guess I would have to go as low as 800x600 and I did not even want to imagine how terrible the game would look then on my huge 16:9 monitor.

Thanks guys, found a lot of useful information!
