skyrimer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Count me in, font is almost impossible to read and I've tried the game in 3 computers with different screens / resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBreeze Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm young (well on the younger side at least) and I too have trouble reading the text in game, this needs to be fixed ASAP as well in general the entire UI (including frames) needs a work over. As everyone else has said, add me to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithrril Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have problems with eye strain occasionally but I have good eye sight. However, I can't read the majority of text in the game without squinting or leaning in to my monitor. My eyes hurt after playing for just a short amount of time. This doesn't happen with other video games. I definitely agree that this should be at the top of the list of fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarefootRoot Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Same here. I have gotten the chat window font large enough to read, but the quest text, tooltips, egc. Are all way too small to read and both my wife and I need to squint and get way too close to the screen to read any of it. Please give us a text scaling option for the UI!

infinitum Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I get a headache after straining and squinting my eyes to see the text.. I play on my laptop at a res. of 1366x768. Most unusual from a Bioware game.. Thank God for the VO's, otherwise I'd end up worse than Mr.Magoo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimos Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The fuzzy blue on blue of the codex i find almost impossible to read.Scalable text options and more a more customable ui are a must imo. At the minute im straining to read some of the text and it hurts. Apart form that im enjoying it cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanislovia Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Add me to the list as well. I am tired of using a magnifying glass to read the quest text and answers. Yes, I'm middle-aged, but too small is too small at any age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcharyaAlberon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Please, fix this. This is a major issue and might force me to stop playing the game after only one week. I know there are lot of bugs in the game, but this has to be priority #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overunitee Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Agree with all , Can I add that I also find it hard when using the inbuilt magnifying glass on a map to stay on what I mouse over as its way to small. The font on maps needs to be bigger or adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrForcePush Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I know there are plenty of identical replies like mine but I also am adding my name to 'the list'. I am playing on a 40" screen and am completely baffled as to why this has not been picked up on before the launch. My eyesight is not brilliant but when the game plays like a dream apart from this it is really annoying. Another silly feature of the small text is when it back drops against the alien who doesn't speak galactic standard - it is quite literally invisible and you can't follow the conversation at all The game is designed to give us total control but some of us will be randomly choosing responses we normally wouldn't due to this. FIX PLEASE - I am otherwise enjoying the game btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aastarius Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Minor point, and do agree being able to scale up the text would be most useful however, all of the text from the conversations also appears in the chat frame (at least for me), where it can be scaled larger and thus made more readable. Could even create another chat window just for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isnt just most usefull , my friend , who plays the game with myself , is partially sighted and well basically there are rules on this type of thing , so please sort it out a.s.a.p Bioware thank you. Even I can't read any of the skill tree descriptions so i dont actually know what to chose on my characters. Also the point about the alien speak , tiny white text which flashes on the screen at light speed , you try reading it out to a partially sighted person , its impossible it doesnt even stay on screen long enough , was this tested at all ? Did your testers even read it out loud ? Fix both issues please , its ruining the fun of the game. My friend to be added to the list is Darth-Geggz and myself. Badorb.

FYI If you click on Other tab at the top of the chat box, you'll see all the dialog from the cut scenes as well as from your companion. You can scroll that and re read any of it.

Maegrist Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yup, having same problem with lots of different resoltuons on my 1280 x 800 screen painful to see text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSloat Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I play on a 52" TV and the font is killing me. I can deal with reading subtitles to the dialog, but I can't handle reading skill tree or item descriptions. Please make font size adjustable.

Babibab Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Count me in also, since we're doping this sort of petition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyDonovan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Try to lower your resolution while staying in your aspect ratio this will not hurt graphics much at all but make the overall ui including text larger and easier to see. Best of Luck and Happy Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggotmeal Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have great vision and strain to read text in this game. Would first like the size increased. The light blue background of chat window doesn't make a good contrast either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeps Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 +1 for increased font sizes guys - i won't be moving my sofa closer to the tv anymore so consider me out and unsubbed until this is fixed! Shame - really good game apart from this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galihadd Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Add me to the list as well. Really hoping to end my wow days with this story telling gem, but the font size alone may be enough to send me back to the horde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noriukyaga Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I found how to change chat size, but everytime i close the game it lose the setting and i need to chagne it everyload. But the ui char are really too little! Stupid error by a stupid supervisor didnt realize the problem. Hope they'll fix this. P.S. me too i play on a LED TV 46" but no way to read it.
