Option to increase UI scale or at least Font size above 100% | Rem Survival | Page 1

basically most of texts in game world and also the UI are very small for me.
i understand the game is in early development stages but maybe font size would be easy to implement 😊

Hi welcome, are you playing on a laptop by any chance? there are plans to increase the font but it comes with some challenges like screen space.

ruby plank Nov 30, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

Hello , thank you. no i play on my pc
i have a ultra wide 28 inch screen with resolution 2560x1080

#

with new monitors which have 4k or 5k res it would be even smaller i guess. and yes i understand what do you mean

#

my laptop actually have 4k screen and it's only 15 inch so that gonna be worse. haven't tried game on it tho

bleak reef Nov 30, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

is it most of the font? I work on a 4k screen 28inch, I don't find it to bad the issue is normally on lower resolutions on smaller size monitors.

i will open game later (its past midnight here 😁) and check again, then will report back with more detail and also some screenshots maybe

#

#

this is also another one , look at text size for camp fire. its just waaay too small

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 6:45 AM

#

#

ill see if I can add a scaling option for world text, is the ui the same like the item tooltips?

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 6:50 AM

#

honestly in my opinion pretty much all texts are way too small so anything that can become bigger is good

#

same for icons and things like health bar etc

#

also maybe a high contrast option for fonts to have a black border or something like that help a lot too

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 7:26 AM

#

ill see what I can do once i get back to working on the games UI, current finishing off a system I've been working on for a few weeks :), ill try adding a scaling option for all the UI 1st.

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 7:41 AM

#

apart from the small ass text I hope your enjoying the game 🙂

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 7:55 AM

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

ah no i have checked my eyes recently they are both 10/10

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

and i will come , i always play games single player to learn controls and stuff

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:28 AM

#

so how do u like it so far?

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:31 AM

#

@serene stone send your friend a monitor with better res 🙂

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

@bleak reef you talking about a guy thats always on top of his stuff i would have to send him a low monitor res lol

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:34 AM

#

so is the font small for you also or do you play with binoculars strapped to your head?

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:36 AM

#

binoculars strapped to my head

#

lol

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

well that is a good workaround 10/10 for the idea 😄

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

#

@ruby plank it could be ur monitor mine is fine

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:38 AM

#

might be the ratio of it maybe

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:39 AM

#

or maybe cause i have a 32"

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:39 AM

#

i have a 42" 4k and also a 28" 4K

#

i only game on the 28 or my eyes hurt lol

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:40 AM

#

yea i have 2 28" and 1 32"

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:40 AM

#

i think it also might be what people are use to

#

like windows scaling also

#

i don't use it on my 4k

#

so the icons are small along with the font

#

by default windows adds DPI scaling

#

to make things more readable but never used it i turn it back to 100% lol

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:41 AM

#

lol

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:42 AM

#

more desktop icons = more space

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:42 AM

#

true

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 10:43 AM

#

#

serene stone Dec 1, 2022, 10:43 AM

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 11:01 AM

#

my monitor is also fine grim

#

because other games are mostly fine, i mean not a big deal also 🙂 its not game breaking

#

its just that overall UI of this game can be a bit bigger

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 11:04 AM

#

yep you are correct @ruby plank 🙂

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 11:05 AM

#

like GUI wise

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 11:05 AM

#

the UI is the most oldest part of the game which hasn't had a rework yet

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 11:05 AM

#

#

look how small are buttons compared to screen area

ruby plank Dec 1, 2022, 11:06 AM

#

bleak reef the UI is the most oldest part of the game which hasn't had a rework yet

hehe no worries , it seems like a good game in the end 😄

bleak reef Dec 1, 2022, 11:09 AM
