High Resolution Screen - Small Client Font & Icons

Postby Killer7007 » 31 Dec 2015, 10:35

Hello, I recently bought a Surface Pro 4 and I knew from the start its high resolution screen could be a bit of a hassle dealing with certain apps that are not built natively, but I thought maybe there was a solution for this already on this forum for the FAF Client specifically. If there is I didn't find it, I did find someone with a similar problem in the following post
" viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9340&p=92535&hilit=high+resolution+screen#p92535 ".
I tried going to the exe launcher's properties and toggle DPI Scaling but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,

I just bought the game off of Steam and am experiencing the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Hey there, it would seem there is no easy solution, or one at all for the time being, I believe it has something to do with a software called Qt and the fact that since high dpi screens are "recent" many programs that rely on this Qt software to design their interface layout and whatnot have this issue, and I believe that we simply have to wait until Qt has been updated to deal with high dpi screen so developers can update their program's interfaces. I may be completely wrong here but from the research I've done it seems to be this that is creating the issue.

For the game itself you can use a mod to get larger icons:

Indeed I had noticed that mod but after trying out a few things I concluded that the way to go for me is to just change supcom's resolution to 1440x900, so far it has worked best for me, I strongly recommend trying out different resolutions depending on the pc you're using.
