A way to increase text size
So I'm playing on pc with a high-res monitor and it seems the size of the fonts is set in pixels.

This means, currently I can see just over 10 lines of text per inch (2.5 cm). I can increase HUD size but this leaves the font for character overview, skills, price and such unmeddled.

Anyone knows of a way to increase the size of these text to say for example the size of the completion stats (after game overview) or to any other, bigger, variable?
(Im not looking for windows magnifier or such)

Thanks in advance

Change High DPI settings
Put a check in "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings"
Click on Advanced Scaling Setting
Change to 200% or more, depending on your preferences
Make sure to check "Use This DPI when I Open This Program" and not "When I sign into Windows"
Also check "High DPI Scaling Override" and set it to System (note: do not set to System (Enhanced)).

I believe this is unique to Windows 10, so if you're on something else, sorry.

Right now, the sad truth is that many (read: nearly all) software programs are not ready and built for 4k resolution. I'd give it another solid year before software applications come mostly online with 4k res.

Have you tried UI scale in setting?

Yes I did, it changes the size of the HUD but leaves the textsize unreadable.

Yeah, I have this issue also. The scaling does nothing. As someone who is visually impaired this is very frustrating and I've given up on reading any of the dialogue. A shame since I like storylines.

Yeah i got the same problem too..playing this game on 4K Resolution and got UI Scale already on 125% but all the text and even the chat in the corner are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ small...totally unreadable. The Devs really should work on that problem...

Go to the IdleDragons.exe file.

Not entirely for this machine, but it gave me an idea.
%steamapps%\common\IdleChampions
Go to properties of IdleDragons.exe
compatibility tab
Override scaling to system defaults
Boost system defaults to 150% and voilla, small but readable

Marking ur solution as solution, you're a hero!

Go to your steam library, go to Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.
Right mouseclick on it, select Properties
Go to the tab "Local Files" and click "Browse Local Files"
