4k text and UI scaling
« on: January 21, 2017, 04:07:19 AM »
Hi guys, just got a 4k monitor and tried to run Starsector in 4k resolution.
I had to reinstall JRE with the new Java update don't know if the 2 were connected.

Anyway got the game running fine in 4k, however all the icons and text are the same size they were in 1080p, is there an option to increase text and UI sizes?
Cheers

Hi - there isn't, and it's not likely for the foreseeable future. It's not just a question of text and icons - there are some gameplay implications (how far you can see in combat, for example) and other assets would need to be scaled as well. I wouldn't run the game in anything above 2k or thereabouts, personally.
