Why is the UI text so ridiculously small?
I dont understand, did the devs test this game on a 4K 65" TV? Im sitting in front of my PC, eyes glued to my monitor, and STILL can't read what's on the screen. I don't know if its the font, the size being ridiculously small, that chromatic aberration bs or a mix of everything, but I found the UI text IMPOSSIBLE to read.

Its such a shame, because it's an issue that kills this game for me. I just can't read anything. Has someone more tech-savvy than me figured some way to change the font or something? I've heard changing the settings to 4K makes it easier to read, but unfortunately this murders my FPS.

I'm playing 4K on a 27-inch monitor and it's clear for me (and for context, I set my windows DPI scaling to 200% (default is 150%!) so I can read without eye strain.

Can you share a screenshot, so we can make sure it's actually rendering right and you're not running into a bug or something?

Same problem.

I have a bad eyesight and so for me the text is to small and blurry to read.
My monitor is a AOC 32G1WG4 and my graphic card is a NVIDIA RTX 3070.

I tried the fonts mod, but even with the mod, the font size is still to small for me to read. :steamsad:

then it's time for a visit to the doctor or decrease the distance between your eyes and your monitor.

I was also having issues with the text size being too small so I decided to just wait a bit before playing, installed that mod and it helps quite a bit. Though what i'm assuming is chromatic aberration still seems to be applied to the text making it a little awkward to look at sadly.
