I have tried for the last few months to play this game. I paid 70 dollars after hearing it was one of the best space 4x games around from many places. Now I feel like I was cheated out of my money.
The font sizes are ridiculously small. I play on a 42 inch tv and can play other 4x games with no problem along with MMO's and RPGs. And I can always play them with no problems at all. DW unfortunately causes far to much eye strain. And has thus killed the entire experience for me.
I have tried lowering the resolution but it still doesn't help. This game would be amazing if the font sizes were addressed. But until that day comes I will no longer be trying to play this game and will not buy any more expansions in the future.
I certainly understand this problem. I originally played this game on a 27" monitor and - pre-shadows - it was very difficult. Things have improved since the release of Shadows,but on a 27" monitor there were still many parts of the screen that I could not read easily. I can imagine it might be very difficult or impossible on a 42" TV.
I recently downgraded my monitor from 27" to 24", because I had found the native resolution for that screen size made many applications and games display text to small. I have been much happier with the smaller screen, and I personally find that Shadows is fine on a 24" screen.
None of this will help you with your 42" monitor, of course.
