Matrix Games Forums

Just purchased the game, installed fine, works fullscreen, Thanks Zakblood for confirming. I've tried various DPI settings and things are a bit blurry, especially as you zoom out. The map fonts get way worse and seem to break up as you zoom out. Any information on settings to improve this would be appreciated. Another thing is i noticed in the downloads section for COG:EE there are alternate maps 1 & 2 for in game maps,advanced economy guide,font file, and a strategic map, all of these time out when you attempt to download. Can this be fixed as maybe the alternate maps and/or the font file would improve the blurry issue. I've tried to download from the members area and also the press media site but all the links time out.

please send me a copy of your DxDiag report by pm etc and i'll test your settings with mine and see what looks better, as it worked perfectly with mine

User DPI Setting: 120 DPI (125 percent)
System DPI Setting: 144 DPI (150 percent)

and i always use a custom DPI setting on a larger than normal screen 40" LED etc

Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)



standard map and mode

zoomed in

zoomed out




while the place names are faded, it only goes like this after a given amount of zooming out, max zoom out there are no names shown

i've not used any of these as not needed, but give 1 a try and see if it makes it better, if not turn back to default and try 2




ones for normal DPI errors

two is for higher than normal DPI error's but like i said, you shouldn't need to use either, mine are what's shown and reported, crystal clear tbh

post what you see and then may understand why your's in somewhat different maybe?

Mine pretty much looks like yours, still want my Dxdiag? I play on a Win 10, 64bit gaming laptop at 1920x1080. Any chance those download links for the maps and other stuff can be fixed? Hoping that might clear it up or at least improve it some.

I just picked up 6 games from the sale, so i'm installing and updating them to confirm everything works. Thanks for all your testing, its helps with making informed choices. Give me a few and i'll get you my DX report if you still want it.

no i'm fine as long as your happy with it, and will post a note to support asking them to fix the files etc asap

Thanks zakblood, appreciate it. I'll play around some more with those settings you mentioned above. Can you post when the links are fixed.

yes will do, it's been sent so maybe tomorrow or sometime in the week if there busy etc and i'll post as soon as i get a reply, then i'll re test them myself before posting the results etc
