KarrisThanor Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have been struggling for a while now to change the entire game font size to larger than it is at default. It is way too small for me to see. I managed to adjust the chat font size, but everything else is super tiny. Help please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help please I don't think you can right now other than changing your resolution, but hopefully it's a feature they will add as I can't read some of the smaller UI and tooltip texts either.

Csvendsen Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have problems playing the game, because my eyes strain so much, because of the text font being used. The blue luminescent light that make out the letters, makes my eye sight blurry and my eyes hurt after playing for a couple of minutes. I have never had this experience with any other game before... I have perfect sight, so this really bothers me. Even now, after I have just logged out of the game, my eye sight remain a bit blurry and I find it hard to focus properly. It only happens when I play SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanDouble Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Same problem here, I actually just started wearing glasses a few months ago because I couldn't make out the text in WoW. There's no way my eyesight went that bad that quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumPigeon Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 How did you change the chat font size? I've actually been trying to make it smaller, but I couldn't find an option to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapar Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I hate it when aliens talk, I can only BARELY see the text and it is driving me NUTS. I hope they get on this really fast and add some customization. I love the game otherwise but this is starting to impact my desire to play. Here's hoping something good happens!

Even going from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 the font stays small. I need bigger fonts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have put my resolution to 800x 600 for the game like I usually have my monitor set to so things aren't as small, and the text doesn't change based on resolution. It only makes it a little less fuzzy having at a higher resolution. I hope they change this a well, being forced to use a magnifying glass on a lot of text is taking away from my normal pace I play at, and is becoming very frustrating.

Glorawyn Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Would really like to see a UI scale added to the game. Atleast for text font size. Changing the resolution only seems to change how blurry the text is, but not the actual size. I'm playing on a 73" screen so.... I shouldn't be squinting everytime I try to read a tool tip or Codex entry. Fix it please Bioware! My only complaint so far. well that and broken gather nodes i can see but not click on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickter Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 me too yo I have a 1360x768 and the text is super small and I dont want to get closer to the TV. is because your on a tv. true font types dont show well on tv in any form. play at max res and at a desk, not in a lazyboy on a 60' plasma 15 feet away.

Ferrnitty Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 until they allow for tooltip scaling this is going to be a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the "Other" tab in your chat window and you can read what they said. I, too, have a problem reading the text. They really do need to add a ui scale option.

GrandMalicore Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My only option is to play on my 40" viewsonic and the text size is a huge problem for me. I wish i could play at a desktop but my wife and kids use ours for school and everything else. plus that OS is Linux. Please include an upsdate that will fix this problem. Thank you!

dresenpai Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I know it isn't an in game solution but the font size seems just fine to me when using a 32" screen. On a 24" it is certainly too cramped. Going live just before the holidays is hell for timely updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azyala Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 One thing for sure, it’s a huge issue for me. I can’t see what the quests are telling me to do, so I just guess and have to guess on what to sell, or keep, also. Even after changing the font size on chat, it’s still too small.

DoritoStyle Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 40" monitor here, 1080p resolution. All of my windows fonts are set to an easily usable size, and yet when I play SWTOR my eyes get seriously fatigued due to straining to read text.

sophismata Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have an issue with the font size as well. Most importantly I have trouble reading the quest questions and answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killermantra Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hear hear.The text is too small. I'm playing on a 14.6" Laptop and it is ridiculous how close I have to get in order to see the wordings. Please give us UI scaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
