[1.0.3.5] Basic badges blurry font and long range scanners invisible

Post by Spidey »

Two immediate observations.

1) Font on basic badges is a bit blurry. Looks to me like anti-aliasing but what do I know. But it makes my eyes hurt to look at that font. I'd much rather have razor sharp text with rough edges than nicely rounded but blurry text. Maybe that's just me.

Also, one might notice on the screenshot that showing long range scanners is enabled, but it is completely invisible on the map. The problem from around 1.0.3.3 does not appear to be quite fixed.

Attaching DxDiag just in case, but I'm not sure it's relevant.

Here we are almost 2 years after this post and with version 1.2.0.5 this is still an issue. It hurts my eyes to look at the zoomed out display when trying to read the system labels. I've tried all combinations of screen resolution and UI scale and it always is blurry. Can we get this fixed please???

Thanks for the feedback, we'll investigate.

Playing around with it a little more it seems like the rotating "cloud" effect might have something to do with it, as if the text is behind the cloud and being obscured by it. It doesn't appear to be graphics settings on my end, and scaling is disabled.

Normal view angle, some system names are almost completely obscured.

Same shot but different angle, system names much clearer now.
