Re-scale your UI
In the video tab in options, type in your monitor width into where it says "Maximum interface width" and then hit ENTER.

Scales the UI perfectly, hope this helps!

Please comment or w/e to push this to the top of discussions. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews and complaints because people don't check their settings tab.

Hi. My computer is automatically minimises the game, so I can't access the video settings. What can I do?

Not sure if this is the problem you were trying to solve, but after trying this the text is still way too small. Are there any other scaling tricks that can help with this?

I also tried the game on the Steam Deck and the text was pretty hard to read there as well.

Yes its possible to make it a bit better, take a look at my thread posted just after release time.

Nah they'll leave it negative permanently like so many do - more invested in slighting a game for their own inability to read, then CONTINUING TO ENJOY SAID GAME long after said issue's been fixed, than they are editing misinformation out of their reviews

Happens with far too many games
