Hello,

I am running Command on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. I find that after the loading screen the user interface is so small I can't even read it. I have the resolution set to the recommended size of 2160 X 1440 (hence why such small UI elements). However, I have the scaling set to 200% which is why I can use the tablet normally with most apps. Does anyone know what I need to change to get the Command UI to scale up? I am running Windows 10 and the latest update of Command v1.092 (I think that is it but the text is so small I can't read it clearly).

Do I need to change the resolution of the tablet?

Will Command be updated to support DPI scaling?

Thank you!

96 DPI which is 100% for normal on windows 10 by default

Was that supposed to be an answer?

Found a solution and just went through the process of writing up a post including links to the Intel Driver and steps to add custom resolution but when I submitted the post I get a message that no links can be posted until 7 days have passed. I go back and my entire post is gone. Time to get it together Matrix Games.

Sorry that happened dwek but appreciate you're effort.

You can add to this site if you like. We're trying to get our tech support Q and A efforts outta here anyways. We think we've got a much better solution than a forum.

Thanks!

Mike

sorry but after i re read you first question and it seemed you guessed the answer already, i just gave you the default settings that would work so you could read the display

sorry i didn't make it any clearer, my fault, it just seemed you already knew what was wrong by altering something by 200%

https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/2pqyso/surface_pro_3_screen_resolution_tip/

if your going to play games a lot on it, i myself would alter it back to standard DPI settings and not use the default as 3:2 aspect ratio isn't a well supported size for any game, so Txt will always be a problem, but as you have already sorted it, seems you got your act together while i didn't this time, but will try harder next time, thanks

I'm sorry but that is implemented to avoid spam bots.

So is our new site with the added bonus of not annoying users
