UI seems "blurry" or low-res - normal?

[Neon Kitten]

Bought the game in the sale, and looking forward to subjecting hapless citizens to my bad planning decisions ;)

I'm a bit surprised, though, to find that at my display's native resolution (1920x1200) the UI elements of the game all seem decidedly blurry and low-res - text and all. The actual game world seems to be operating at the correct resolution, and is nice and crisp, but having the UI almost "out of focus" (especially the oop-ups in-game for the various descriptions of building elements) makes me wonder if that's intended, or a graphical bug. I'm used to games of this type having a UI that's sharp and detailed - makes all that info on-screen so much easier to see and read.

Also, the game doesn't properly run fullscreen - in fact, in common with Blizzard's Heathstone (alos a Unity engine game) if you alt-tab from fullscreen mode, the game stays on the screen and the Windows taskbar etc is drawn on top of it. In "fullscreen" mode, if I change to a lower resolution in Options, the game's drawing resolution is reduced but my display is still at 1920x1200. It's behaving more like "fullscreen windowed". Is there a way to force exclusive fullscreen? If not, there should be.

And finally, the -noworkshop launch flag doesn't work, at least in this patch.

None of this is complaining - happy to support a quality game and grateful for the discount ;) Those were just immediate "annoyances" I ran across very soon after first pressing "Play".

IIRC there's a bit in this guide about making things less blurry

The correct launch param for no workshop is --noWorkshop (2 hyphens and capital W -- see Appendix A in troubleshooting guide for infos)

Also, try the Silicon Skin mod which makes the in-game UI a lot crisper: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=424995783

I'd had a look through those, but there's really nothing there that applies as fra as the UI goes; the game itself does seem to be rendering in my display's native res, but the UI looks like it's been upscaled from a far lower resolution (which, indeed, may actually be the case!)

It's almost like a "blur" filter was placed on top of the entire UI, perhaps as an aesthetic decision.

Ah, I hadn't noticed the double hyphen! But I tried adding that launch param correctly just now... and still get the huge Steam Workshop window on the main menu, with Workshop functionality intact.

I'll give it a look, thanks :)
