No font update with Shadows?

Post by necaradan666 »

I was just reading the Shadows preview at Spacesector and wondered if Adam got it right; that while bullet pointing GUI enhancements in sales materials there isn't actually anything that makes the game text easier to read?

We've all seen threads on this issue before so I won't reiterate how cramped and pixelated some of us find the current text in the game, but since the announcement of this new expansion I'd kinda been counting on it being taken care of.

Is that not the case? Will I still need a box of pain-killers a couple hours after booting up DW?

You could move closer to the screen, too [8D]

I have not noticed a general fix. The larger selection panel should help, though. But I play at a 24" monitor in normal desktop configuration, and have never had issues with the text in the game

We've added scaling to a couple of places in the interface. The #1 complaint was the bottom left selection box, which can now be increased in size. The fonts/text increase in size along with it.

Can someone post some screenshots of the tech tree and general interface in 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 , if possible with scaling?
