Is there a way to make the UI bigger
« on: July 15, 2020, 04:11:00 AM »
Everything is way too small for my old eyes on my 1440p monitor.

Also is there a way to turn off the scrolling of the view when I move my mouse pointer?

UI doesn't scale. In the next version it might, but that's still months off.

If you mean "how to disable free look in the campaign", then you need to click the right mouse button again. If you ask how to stop camera from moving in combat, it's impossible.

I think, technically, you can get a bigger UI by playing fullscreen at a lower resolution (with the same ratio).

There will be UI scaling in the next release, yeah. In the meantime, the best/only option is indeed to run in fullscreen at a lower resolution.

For now, you can use a lower resolution than your native, and let your GPU scale the game up. I play at 1920x1200 on a 2560x1600 screen.

This will get somewhat blurry depending on your GPU, and its drivers. You can use ReShade to add some sharpening filter (it has many, I prefer AdaptiveSharpen) to make it better. You attach ReShade to the Starsector\jre\bin\Java.exe file to make it work.
