JudgeDreadlock -> Windows 10 High DPI Scaling (6/17/2019 5:06:32 PM)
|
Text size in DW au naturale on my 2560x1440 display is largely unbearable. I can drop my native resolution but that gets messy. My peepers demand action! Lo, there is a solution!
Navigate to the DW executable (mine's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe), right-click the 'DistantWorlds.exe' file and go to 'Properties'.
In the pop-up window, select the 'Compatibility' tab.
Check the 'Run this program as an administrator' option if you haven't done already. Then click 'Change high DPI settings'.
In the new pop-up window, tick the 'High DPI scaling override' and flip this option to 'System'.
I've tried 'System (Advanced)' and it lead to some missing button graphics. Your mileage may vary. 'Application' does nothing for your peepers AT ALL.
'Ok' everything. Go ahead and play DW - all font sizes should be roughly as the designer intended, I guess. Although probably a little bit blurry. Using 'System (Advanced)' may solve the blurry. Try it and see!
In my experience, and unlike other games I've tried this with, the setting is saved and you won't have to come back here again :)
One caveat is that screenshots now only seem to grab the top-left corner, and in my case at 1707x960. I'll let you decide what is more important to you [:)]
