UI Scaling?

So my gaming PC is hooked up to my giant TV and I play almost everything on the big comfy couch... I use a lapdog for KB+M, fine... but I'm concerned about if there is any UI scaling in this game or not.

Often with these types of games, even though my TV is 65 inches I sit well back from it and I find that games with a lot of tiny text and other UI elements things are just too small to play comfortably even if I gimp the resolution down to 1080P.

Anybody know if the UI can be scaled up larger in this? CIV 6 does a pretty respectable job of remaining playable in this situation but other titles can be impossible squint fests.

would love to know this as well . hate how all the new games seem to make such small text for their games now . the age of siting at a desk to play is fast becoming a thing of the past

I mailed the developers and they said that there is no UI scaling in the game. Until there is some kind of trial available I don't think I'm going to gamble on it as I already have too many games I don't play because I can't be bothered when it doesn't work in the living room.

Yeah that sucks, but since it’s built on Unity it may not be hard to mod.

I really wish more developers would consider scaling text more often in games. For couch okay and for us old people with less then great eye sight

I suggest anybody interested in supporting the game but don't think you'll have a good experience without a "big" mode email the developers directly here to let them know. http://harebrained-schemes.com/contact/

Didn't we already have this thread? So much whine it gets hard to tell them apart anymore.

I want bigger bots, I want insane difficulty, I want more pronouns, I want to rename every NPC, I want, I want...

Pathetic. Let the game come out. See what MODers do.

Stop being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. OP asked a question politely, he didn’t throw a fit or act like a ♥♥♥♥ when he posted. It’s a valid question.

If no one is capable of using a search function, why have it as part of the forum tools. Its not even that far down the thread list like pg 3 or 4. The Smart question would be, are there any MODers stating they will be doing a MOD for this yet. Because HBS surely will not.

Who died and made you King of the Forums. I get that there are a lot of toxic people here but your attitude and rudeness isn’t making it hospitable either.

I rule only myself. I attacked no one. Its a free forum. If others can complain and whine about all the little nit picky things about the game, I can complain about them complaining. Will the UI/Mech scale be adjustable? No it wont. Hope for a MOD.

Please point out the magic search terms. Searching UI Scaling or even Text Size nothing comes up but this thread and there was previously no information about whether the game supported any UI scaling prior.

It's pathetic to ask a completely valid question? You've added nothing to the thread at all other than useless clutter.
