How change in game resolution so the ui would scale properly

[UIE First Citizen]

Thanks for the info.

Hello! You have to change your desktop/monitor resolution as BG uses it for in-game resolution.

You don't change the resolution...there will be options under graphics for scaling that changes how it scales and makes it not be super timey on a large resolution.

Before 2.0 you could just change resolution in the ini file. Is this something that i can do now ?

In the original baldurs gate 2 they were config file for the game that allowed you to change resolution from 640x480 to 1600x1200.

That is true but now in the enhanced edition there are settings to help wih this. I play full screen with a Desktop res of 3440x1440. If I don't go into graphics and activate "Scale user Interface" I will barely be able to read text on the screen.

No, it hasn't been possible in the EE, even before 2.0.

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Necro-raising this thread from the dead to point out that I was able to simply open the BALDUR LUA file in Documents, locate the "Scale UI" line and set the condition to 1, and now the UI scales perfectly with my 3440x1440 display.

Edit: Nevermind, I just realized the option's LITERALLY right there in the graphics options. Sheesh.

Is there a way to just scale the text? I don't want all the UI elements to be huge, but I do want the be able to read the text.

There's a font size option under graphics menu.

Alternatively you can use a mod for a more gradual scaling of the whole UI.

"EEex mod has a "Scale interface" module that lets you do it incrementally. It is kinda complicated to set up though. After installing, you need to open "EEex_Modules.lua" located in /override, then swap the flag on B3Scale from "false" to "true" to active it. Then you either use the in-game cheat console and the command:

B3Scale_SetPercentage(p)

p is a number from 0-1, 0 - vanilla unscaled interface, 1 - vanilla scaled. E.g. 0.5 will give you the halfway between the two.

Alternatively, you can add a line in baldur.lua with the setting (which is what will happen when you use the previous method anyway):

SetPrivateProfileString('B3Scale','Percentage','0.5')."
