Change game resolution?

[cracksys]

Is it possible to change game resolution as I am having a hard time squinting at the game's UI?

Agreed, UI should scale with screen resolution and to boot the Zoom option is ridiculous.

I agree as well. The UI on any large display is very difficult to see. The zoom option is helpful in theory, but needs some work.

I struggled with this as well. 30inch monitor @ 2560x1600. The game seems to default to the native resolution of your monitor. Even when I set the desktop to 1920x1200 the game was still in the higher res. So the solution is to edit your config.xml. This file is located in files/saves/

Code:

<options>
  <video>
    <horizontal n="1920" />
    <vertical n="1200" />
    <fullscreen n="true" />

    snip


    <forcedFullscreenHorizontal n="1" />
    <forcedFullscreenVertical n="1" />
  </video>

Your choice of resolution. You still have to set the desktop res to what you want in-game, or the wrong res will get written back into this file. In this case I have my desktop set to 1920x1200, then I load the game. When I load my save, the game is not fullscreen even though it is checked off in options. I go to the video options and apply, then the game is fullscreen 1920x1200.

More to the point about the UI size/scale, edit the config.xml and change

Code:

<GUIzoom n="50" />

50 looks pretty good @ 2560x1440
