How to change resolution? (solved)

[LeftPaw]

I have a 4K monitor but want to play this in a lower resolution. Is there a config file where I can change this setting? Thanks

Check the Zoom in UI option in the game's settings.

Yes, that just stretches my UI and to be honest it is to big even in 4K. I have left it as it is but I would have liked to have resolutions that are more in keeping with with the game, were it's balanced, sharp picture with the correct sized UI. But I guess it's not possible unless I drop my desktop resolution before I play. It was fine until I bought my new monitor.

The game should look good in 4k with the zoom option. What exactly is your resolution?

It is 3840x2160. I use to play it in 1440p and it was fine then. I don't mind using 1440p to play it again but it a hassle having to change my desktop res every time I want to play.

In 3840x2160 the graphics look blurry as does the text but the worst part is the zoom on the UI. My UI takes up to much of my playing area. I can manage playing without a zoomed UI and prefer to but I do have to get pretty close to the screen to read anything.

I was hoping I could have solved it by doctoring a config file, this is usually the case but it seems that it's not something I can do with KeeperRL.

Can you post a screenshot at 3840x2160 with Zoom in UI? I just tried on my tv and it looked perfect. I think there is something broken, especially that you mention blur. Maybe your system is trying to reduce the resolution for the game? Does it look the same in windowed mode and in full screen?

Wait, there is a setting were I can disable win 11 aspect ratio for the game I'll give that a go, or maybe my drivers need updating. Seeing how your not having the same problem it looks like it's something my end. Let me see if I can hunt it down.

Wooo! cracked it straight away. :D
I set win 11 to force dpi scaling to application settings and Bobs your uncle it worked. UI set to large and it's the perfect size and everything looks fine.
Thank you very much for putting me on the right track.
