Purchased the Alpha
« on: December 18, 2012, 12:27:48 am »
I purchased the Alpha game and have logged some time in it, but is there any potential to make the text a little smoother? As it is it's a little blurry and blotchy looking, kinda looks like parts of letters are missing, tried various resolutions and various HUD sizes in the settings and received very little improvement.

Yeah mine is hard to read at times, I sometimes have lines of font that are different sizes, unreadable sometimes.

I'm using a CRT monitor, maybe thats the problem, what are you using?

22" LCD Monitor LG W2252.

It's not special just an LCD monitor.

Are you playing on your monitor's native resolution?

Yes, I've tried with them both at 1680x1050 (Font was insanely small) and am currently playing with both at 1024x768 (Everythings bigger and the font seems slightly improved), I think it may just be the font being used.

Game is amazing btw :)

You can increase dialog font in the options menu. At some point I'll add this for tooltips and other stuff as well.

If you're using a non-native resolution on an LCD that will always look bad, it's just how they work.

It'd be great if you could up the font size for the tooltips and stuff I'm legally blind so it'd be great for me :D

I'm even further into the game now and I gotta say it is literally amazing :D

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the game. :)

I'll add options for bigger tooltip font for sure in the next UI update.
