"Grim Dawn" For XBOX...One Issue...

[Xyyth]

I bought Grim Dawn Definitive Edition for my Xbox. The game is wonderful just like the PC version here, but there is one request that I would ask on behalf of those playing on a TV with a console:

Could you please make an option to increase the sizes of the font and the hud and information boxes? Maybe something like Normal and two larger size choices? It is greatly needed. I am playing on a 60" flat screen TV in the living room and I strain my eyes trying to read any text or see the radar on the hub. It's really bad.

Thank you for looking into this. I wasn't sure where to post this in regard to the Xbox.

We are actively looking into bringing UI/font scaling to the console port. :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much, that's great information.

The game plays really well on console with the controller, but unfortunately the UI is currently too small. If you get that fixed, the game would be great on consoles.

I just tried to play some more this weekend on the Xbox console and it was killing my eyes before I could even exit the first town. You go to sell items in town and it's so hard to see what you want to keep, what is an upgrade, and what you want to sell. I picked up some lore notes and I couldn't even see the small text to read those on my TV. I'm trying to aim the cursor to put points in my attributes and skills and it's like trying to select a box the size of a pinhead. We don't sit directly in front of our TVs like we do a computer monitor.

I can tell you this. I had a friend quit this game on PC because he said he couldn't read anything as the text was so small. It happened on Titan Quest too. Some of us old gamers don't have fresh eyes anymore. Even the Diablo 2 Resurrected game can scale fonts and menus in the Options. I'm surprised nobody caught this in product testing on the console. I can't stress how bad this is for anyone's eyesight. Just supplying more information. I know it's the weekend.

Maybe if the information boxed could magnify out when you cursor over them. I just need to see the stats side by side on my gear so I know what is replaceable. Same thing with reading notes or text and putting points into stuff.

There are also PC players who play on a TV (for example by streaming with Nvidia Gamestream on a Shield TV device). The unreadable text in a regular TV is what made me refund the game, despite my desire to play it. I was hoping the Xbox version would lead devs to enlarge the UI. Seems I'll have to wait more before being able to enjoy the game on my setup, but please do it also for the PC version, not just the Xbox one!

i play on 40 inch tv no issues and there is ui adjustment on pc version

My eyes may be not as good as yours :) but do you mean that now the UI and font sizes can be enlarged on the PC version ? If so, that would be great news for me as I'm really interested in this game.

UI and font size have been adjustable for ages on the PC version, there is a slider in Video Setttings ingame in options
if that slider doesn't make the UI big enough for your TV you can further increase it manually by increasing the settings in the config in options.txt file
if you need to modify the ui scale further in the options.txt file in C:\Users\*you*\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\Settings and set:
uiScale = 1.125
makes it about double as big
if the text still isn't good enough for you can use a clearer font "mod"

Wow thank you for this great tip, much appreciated!

Hey guys...I just found out that the new patch that is currently in testing will add UI and font adjustment to the XBox version. I'm not sure about the PC version though. The XBox patch should hopefully be out this coming week or two.

PC already has those.
