Are you using a high resolution and you can't read the unit list?


You can click on the short cut and adjust the settings to remedy that issue.

Status: offline 		Hello, I am very enthusiastic about the release, Congratulations!

I am currently trying the game on a Surface Pro 4 with a native resolution of 2736 x 1824, so the default game display looks very crisp, though both the menus/buttons as well as the unit/terrain graphics appear very small. I played around with the various permutations in the DPI menu suggested above, and they either keep the crisp but tiny look, or they successfully zoom everything in, but now the game looks abnormally muddy. Is there a way I can force the game to try different resolutions on launch and see if I can get to a good middle ground that way?

Sorry, I am not a great PC user, but most of my games with this problem are fixed by the DPI scaling, and I don't recall this resolution problem with CSME which I also own through Matrix.

Thank You for helping me!

No, there's no way to set a certain resolution per how the game window per se opens up. Instead, it is down to Desktop scaling and DPI settings. Which, of course affects all other apps too, your desktop, everything.

I hear you, I am not trying to punt the ball (well, ...), but it is unfortunate what you are asking is not available in Windows itself. Desktop scaling for instance has been around for a few years now, it generally works very well, but is a very blunt weapon. All or nothing. It would be sweet indeed to be able to set the app specific resolution in the Property settings above, too.

4K monitors are mainstream, 8K is just around the corner too, it seems. So why we diligently update our dev environment to latest Microsoft Visual Studio has and offers, it is indeed too bad it is on us (and all other developers out there too) to try to figure out ways to do these things inside the apps.

Sorry for rambling, what you are saying is duly noted.
