The Higher the resolution gets, the more smaller the Hud becomes.....

[TransgenderedMailbox]

I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem, but it'll be awesome if someone could help me out. I'm using the New Vision mod, and whenever I bump up my resolution to higher numbers, the hud (including the pause menu) go into the upper left hand corner of the screen, becoming smaller and smaller as they go into that corner. Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

This is a common problem with older games. Ui won't be able to scale with higher resolutions properly. I've seen a few mods that are supposed to fix this, but I haven't tried them myself

Don't answer questions you don't know the answer to.

To scale the UI correctly, use kenties launcher, as mentioned in nearly all threads in this forum relating to problems with the game: http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/

Theres a scaling option in the configuration menu that allows you to adjust it.

You should also install either or all of these 3 modern renderers made for the game, and select one of them from the launchers configuration menu... this is to help with problems relating to hd and widescreen resolutions, fov, general gpu driver issues etc...

Both the launcher and the renderers should be extracted into your "Deus ex/System" folder

It is up to you as to what renderer works best on your computer.

Or you could try no mods at all. 800x600 is the highest resolution I get because I don't use kenties, and the HUD is huge and easy to see.

The launcher and renderers are not mods, they are for making the game compatible with modern hardware so that the game doesn't crash or have graphical problems. It's just a simple copy and paste installation, literally takes under 2 minutes to download and setup.. I dont see a reason why you would avoid it, you'd be able to play in your native resolution as well as scale the hud, and set what renderer to use without having to manually modify the configuration files by hand.
