Having a Surface Pro 4 I am hoping something comes. The text is hard to read on the hi res screen. I mainly play on an external monitor but be nice to play on the SP4 from time to time.

Any fixes out for this issue? I picked up a surfacebook and the ui elements are incredibly small. Havn't yet figured out how to scale up the ui elements big enough that they are readable without putting your face inches away from the screen. Halp !

I can't wait for a 2x UI with fonts. I have been dealing with 3 meter distance for a few months in my living room setup and it's killing me. I made a macro just to force tell windows to chatfont 5.

Also this can't be anymore boring than the HD face makeover y'all are doing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

do me a favor and post a screenshot, I don't even think 2x UI elements would fit within a 1600x900 window lol

I only play 1600 x 900 because it makes it a little bit bigger. I'm not opposed to switching it to a different resolution to fit whatever needs you need.

But I will on my break when I get home.

You can change the default font size in the .ini so that every tell window will auto-load with chat font 5. Search "chatfont" then change it to 5.

Is there a reason you're using /chatfont 5 instead of /chatfont 6 if small text is your issue? I'm not on 4k so don't have any of the issues you guys have, but the text with /chatfont 6 is quite noticeably larger than /chatfont 5 on my display.

5 is readable for me its the text in the UI that I have a hard time reading.

Good call Cucu. This is what I'm rolling atm. https://www.amazon.com/Asus-PG348Q-3.../dp/B01C83BE6U

I love it. I've used other monitors with high resolution and this is the only one I've used where the corners don't feel blurry while staring at the center of the screen.
