I am using the method attached below to use 4K monitor.
The graphics and UI looks good. But I have a problem with the data that shows up when you hover the mouse pointer above the map. The lat/long numbers as well as other data appear too close, like if they were slightly stretched and slightly overlapping each other.

In addition, the message log box fonts are too small to read them for long time comfortably. Is there away to increase the message events log information box in larger font size?

=================

1) Navigate to the Command installation folder. Right-click on the file Command.exe to bring up the file properties dialog. In the compatibility tab check the "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" check box and in the drop down for that, select "System".

2) ONLY IF USING STEAM: Navigate to the Command installation folder. On the folder \GameMenu_CMANO, right click on the file autorun.exe to bring up the file properties dialog. In the compatibility tab check the "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" check box and in the drop down for that, select "System". (Thanks to Mark Doran for the tip!)

NOTE: In CMO, there is no GameMenu_CMANO folder. Instead, right-click on the file "Launcher.exe" and apply the tweak as described above.

3) Delete the file Command.ini (located in [Command install folder]\Config)

4) Run Command. The UI should now lay out correctly without any distortions.

Hello Dimitris,

I attach screenshot. It is 4K monitor. If you see the letters using 1080p monitor resolution, they look much better, at least some separation between letters.

I do not understand the problem. Is the problem that against a light background the letters stand out less?

The problem is that I dont see clearly the letters and it is difficult to read them. They look much smaller in my 4k monitor at high resolution, this is an enlarged screenshot. The letters are also stretched inwards so they are closers to each other than what you see in a standard 1080P monitor. White letters on white/yellow desert background is a bad choice. The fonts are also not the best ones. The border of letters looks open, the tittles over a lowercase "i" look like U-umlaut etc..

Deserts in Sentinel kills me. Good thing there are lots of choices.
