Well, maybe you are right, I hope you are...

Agree! This game was released recently and 1920x1200 or 2560x1440 resolutions are common these days so a scaling option of the UI should have been implemented, especially because this game is so much about reading.

I wouldn't call 2% of the users as "common". Of course if this doesn't take too much of the dev time that would have been spent fixing other game problems, then why not add a scaling option?

Always the same "you are a minority" bu****it! IF the game doesn't support high resolution displays (and NO it doesn't) then this should be stated in system requirements for this game!

Well, I don't support your language but I agree that if there are people with high resolution displays out there and the game developers can't support it (make the game playable without aye strain), then it should be stated in the game requirements especially if the game doesn't have a demo. I bought the Emperor Edition just to find out, that I'm not a supported "minority".



And as an answer to the BlueTemplar; This statistic is not 100% accurate and depends on Windows DPI and resolution settings, eg. I run windows in lower resolution and this page show that resolution and not 2560x1440.

Hey, he's the one that said these resolutions are common! (when they are not)



Sure, adding something like "Work best in resolutions from AxB to CxD" in the system requirements would be a honest thing to do until this is fixed...

I run windows in lower resolution and this page doesn't show 2560x1440.

Why do you do that? I thought that's what DPI was for? Isn't Windows blurry then?

I just don't see many people doing that... (unless maybe if they have no idea what screen resolution is and how LCD's work)

It's because I'm sick of such people and their comments!

Ok, I didn't make myself clear here. I should have written "IF/WHEN I run windows in lower resolution [...]" as to prove that this page is not 100% accurate. I myself use DPI settings. And yes, all other resolutions apart from my screens native resolution make everything blurry.

I agree with you there!

I just bought FTL from Steam and the game with it's menu scales perfectly on my monitor despite it being an indie game. In your face Blizzard...

So it IS possible to be better than Blizzard! lol

Ok, I think this topic is important and popular enough to be shown to the devs. I've contacted the OP the other day but it seems that he left us already month ago (probably died from a major headache attack after playing ES), so I will put it into the "summary of suggestions" thread. Btw, is a poll mandatory for every suggestion, does anyone know?

I think it's a splendid idea Dropfish. Sadly, I don't think the poll will help us because, as you surely read, the general view is that we are a minority and so are our problems. I really hope though that the devs will look into this and give us the chance to enjoy this game in all its glory.

Thank you Dropfish, I hope this will be fixed!

This would be a good addition.

Dropfish is right! I'm running at 1980x1020 and have difficulty reading the text and seeing all the small icons. This IS a problem.

Yeah, maybe people will understand how it feels to play on 2560x1440 when UI is small even at 1680x1050 or 1980x1020...

... I don't even want to imagine how small that it!

I can make a screenshot but i don't know if it would represent it well

All right guys, as anticipated jetkar asked for a poll to see if enough people support this idea. I've created a poll here so please use it. According to the forum regulations, it must run for at least 7 days and we need a minimun of 10 people supporting our idea to overcome the first hurdle.
