UI text and icon too small ?
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2016 10:30 am
Hey
I had a problem with many other players about the text size and the icons.
Anyone trying to run the game at more than 1080p on HD monitors may have experienced the problem of the UI too small, tiny ant-sized icons , the empire ones , and the text barely readable ...
I found out than disabling display scaling works like a charm. Now I can really see everything perfectly at a resolution of 1440p on my 27" B286HK monitor. Icon doesn't scale down and text are perfectly readable !
How to do so :
Look up for the DistantWorlds.exe file on C:\xxxx\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe
Right click on it
Go to tab Compatibility
Check the box "Disable display scaling on high DPI Settings
Of course, you will still have to change your desktop resolution to the one you want to play the game with since there is not the option in the game to adjust it.
