not Work

Ty

omfg! THANK YOU! No game has a right to have such tiny text lol, you're doing Saradomin's work dude <3

I can't get this mod working, even when I use it as my only mod. I tried creating a "user.script.txt" and writing "mod large_font.pack;" in it, but to no avail. Is there a different method for the new mod launcher. Yes, I've tried Lossless Scaling, but it just doesn't look as good as native 4k.

If anyone interested in playing in 2025 and struggle with small font, wide screen, high-res, I solved this issue by using "Loseless Scaling" app. Basically, you launch app + game (in a window mode, with resolution where the font is readable). Then in the app you select any scaling type, i prefer LS1 with factor 1.5 and resize before scaling option. Press scale, then go to shogun window. It will be scaled after 5 seconds to match your screen.

If you are using a translation mod, this mod wont work for you.

thank you so much

Need to do this part with manual installation, and it works.

- edit "c:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts\user.script.txt" and insert mod large_font.pack

is this compatible while using virtual super resolution? i enabled it in the launcher, not sure what else to do beyond that

Works great, thanks

I'm having the same issue as TOSHIRO below. It doesn't show up in the mod manager at all, even though all of my other mods do.

Great mod, just wish that there was a way to scale the whole UI without lowering resolution.

tried to figure it out but failed to get it working for Win 11 - with a 4k monitor .. i dont even seem to be able to make it show up as a mod to select. when i run the game i get the option to pick shogun 2 and encyclopedia. Cant tell if its me doing something wrong or just not possible for a variety of possible reasons.

still work thank!!

Can't you see I'm legally blind?

hi, anyway to make the font bigger still? I just tried to run shogun 2 in 4K and the front became hard to read again. Appreciate it if you could add another version or share how to edit it.

Yes it's a side effect because the UI size doesn't change and some large descriptions may don't fit.
I did a quick revision and the mod still works enabling it in the launcher.

After I subscribed to mod in Steam, it did not work. This is caused by Total War launcher disabling it by default, as it complains that the mod is outdated ("this mod was made for an older verrsion of the game and may cause your game to crush").

The solution is to enable it manually in launcher -> mod manager. Seems to be working afterwards. In game somewhere bigger text does not fit the designated area and is truncated, but as far as I understand, this is an expected side effect of the mod.

Hey @giolebowski, You can try to set the user.script.txt as read only and save it in unicode format. Some user said it worked for him some time ago.

Hi everyone, I coulnd't find a way to make this mod work on my PC.

I've subscribed the mod from Steam,
I've placed the .pack file in the data folder,
I've created the user.script.txt file with this text - mod "large_font.pack";
I've unistalled the game and Steam once.

Am I missing something? Maybe Steam mods require some additional procedure? Maybe Shogun 2 does? Maybe the script file requires some additional text?
I'm running the game on W10. Thank you!

oh thank god, im like 3000 years at this point and this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2k monitor lol
now i can read the text again

Sometimes the text breaks out of the frame and becomes partially invisible. If it wasn't for this problem, this would be a nice mod.

AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts\user.script.txt
Normally this file is created by the game and lists the mods and the load order. Glad you found a solution.

turns out i had to go to config location of game (appdata) and create user.script and manually write mod large_font.pack; in it, and then set it as read only and save in unicode format. all is well

Can't get this to work no matter what, manual or steam subscribing.

All work, thx :)

nope, i installed the game yesterday after a very long time i first installed it and i never used any mods

@ArizaSK
Are you using other mods besides this one?

hello, the font change is not working for me, i tried both with the pastebin link and workshop. is there anything i can do?

Great mod. One thing I think could be improved is the faction traits in the FOTS section being too small. The text size for everything else is great.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

thanks for this mod, would you make another mod that make banners bigger? cause i can't see what type of units they are while zoomed out.

Works great! It's a game saver! :D

@ ZeroX: Yea I tried that and a bunch of other things and it's clearly not coming from your end. Nothing is working, so I think the next step would be an Einstein project and by the time I fix it I won't even wanna play anymore lol. Thanks for the response though.

@Lucifer Sam: Works with Darthmod for me.

@ZerooX: Could you make a version, that's just a tad bigger?
Say 20 px to 22 rather than untouched. 18 px to 22. And all others +6, rather than +4.

@Lucifer Sam
If the mod touches the files where the fonts are located that could lead to a conflict. You can modify the script file that lists the load order of the mods, and change the load order. You may need to find the file X:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts\user.script.txt

Does this work with Darthmod? I have it checked off on the list and it's not working

dude, thank you

thank you for this

ah! my eyes thank you!

Thanks for this chief!

@arkish23
It does! Also the font supports some special characters.

does it work in other languages?

thank you, now better

cool!

Thank you so much. it's so much better for Shogun 2

This is so much better. Before using this mod I had to stay close to the monitor to read the small text. Now I can have a good posture a last. Thanks!

my grandfather uses a regular tv and has a hard time seeing, we have the mod installed... and i wondering if there was a way to make the font even bigger...

Oh my god, its very good fonts. You save this game for me. Great work! That would be the same for the TW "Empire"

З.Ы. Работает и для русской локализации

This is a must have mod if you're playing on a 4K display.
