Did they ever add UI Scaling?
I bought the game cause someone wanted me to play with them and it looks like something I would enjoy greatly but it's unplayable for me without UI Scaling, the UI is too damn small.

It's coming in the next update, thank god. For now just change your screen resolution.

Or disable dpi scaling in the game exe's properties.

I recommend using Magpie, playing in windowed mod with a more reasonable resolution and scaling up that way. That's how i do it and it works flawlessly with magpies default settings.

I guess I could fire up the game (i've been waiting for the new build to replay) and see if the lossless scaling works on it for you. If it does it's 7 bucks on steam. Hang on.

Edit. I can confirm that lossless scaling works well. for 1920x1080p I used these settings.
1. windowed mode in game.
2. set refresh rate in game to half of your max for your screen. 75 for me.
3. no vsync in game
4. Scale at x2 in lossless. They have a x3 mode but I have not used it yet.

It doubled my frames. There are suggestions on the lossless forum about the settings to get started using the program. Better than what I could tell ya lol. Those settings have me at 144 fps in game. The max refresh rate for my monitor.

Good luck.

Magpie does the same thing, but unlike what you recommend, it is free.

Well crap I hadn't heard of that. Thanks for that though.
