Help with resource icons size
With Gathering the storm chaning the base size of resource icons it's now much harder to keep track of all the icons in the map without making a real vision effort which makes the game very unconfortable and i can't play it like this....

Any mod or xml guide on how to change this (without getting the blurry icons that makes things even worse) would be appreciated. Even a simple thing to get the resource icons as they were before would be SO MUCH BETTER than what they are now.

Thank you

Same problem here. Now the resource icons are blurry with the changes even to the base game. You have to zoom all the way in to see them now. They were way sharper before. Everything looks a bit blurry on Ultra tbh. Maybe combination of new icons and new particle engine.

Good to know I wasn't imagining it.

I wonder is why this hasn't been fixed or given an option in the game options menu to scale the icon size instead of forcing it like this to everyone AND make it blurry....

i hope someone can come up with a solution to this or for me at least the game isn't playable

after a day messing up with the xml files i've managed to change their size however for some reason it gives me many other bugs like sometimes instead of a large symbol i get 4 random icons that all together are the size of a bigger one or 2 medium size icons instead of larger one

this is frustrating.... they say "Scalable resource and yeld icons through xml" and yet 0 info on how to do it properly and they made the game unplayable with their default settings....

3 days of headaches in a row here. Sadly noone else seems to notice.

What bothers me is that they changed the icons size, people complain this change is making the game unplayable for some of us and yet there is 0 support.....

it's sad to see a company not even caring if their changes ruined the game for some people or not....

Yes! I am really not a fan of the resource icons now scaling in size either.
What's even worse, to me, is that it seemingly constantly tries to scale the city labels and unit icons as well, even though they don't even change in size(?). Which results in them looking awfully blurry as well. And not just blurry, but inconsistently blurry. Their level of sharpness constantly shifting depending on their location on the screen.
Whereas before the launch of Gathering Storm all the 2d elements on the map used to look consistently sharp and crisp, now they looks so blurry in comparison and I cannot get used to it.
I am holding off playing the new expansion (and Civ 6 as a whole, since this change was also applied to the base game..) until this is fixed.

i just hope they see people are complaining about this and someone in there decides that it is worthy of fixing and not just ignoring :/

I have same issues like you guys. Also holding back playing the game untill it's fixed or someone finds a fix.

haven't found either a mod or even a comment regarding this issue from developers :(
