4K UI - Reports and Campaign - Issue

[itsCube]

Hi,

Love the game, played it in alpha!

However, i'm having a graphic issue that is annoying, not a game breaker, but not ideal. When I play on my MacBook, all is good, everything looks fine. But on my desktop PC (which has a 3840x2160 display), I have a *massive* Reports, or Campaign interface, and it all looks distorted, and like there's some scaling going on that shouldn't be. I was looking forward, on my 4k, to dragging the reports down to the right, and having that open most of the time. But it's just huge, and if i shrink it, nothing fits in!

I've linked to a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

To me, it looks like that part of the UI (the folder book thing) is double scaled or worse, and some parts of it are affecting by the scaling - such as the ALL lettering, and Intake header - but other parts, like the list items of the actual data, are normal font size (correct size imo)?

By the way, for reference, that yellow folder thing is 17 inches (~43cm) high on my screen, the same size as an A3 sheet. Yes, A3.

Is this something that I can fix myself, or could the developers take a look at this?

Regards,
Cube

That's a shame! such screen real-estate and cruddy scaling

I have seen PA respond/react/comply with windows scaling options;
-had 150% by win 10 default, changed back to 100 -> Huge difference (in general and PA)!

-Don't know if it helps with the reports page, as you said, you'd expect that smaller then usual in any case at that res.

-I have seen a clockmod mess around with the gui parts,.if you're into modding, you might be able to help yourself there... (but it does look like the worst documented, vague part of mod capabilities atm, be warned.)

-You can always lower your res, but kinda defeats your screen purchase

Cheers for the response.

I don't have any Windows scaling, I disabled that. My 4K is 40 inch and the pixel dot pitch is similar to a regular screen.

I certainly might look at modding, I'm a programmer by trade, do you have any resources that would be handy?

Lowering the resolution makes the pixels huge! And doesnt seem to change the same of the folder, it's as though the folder is always being resized to the height of my monitor.

Do appreciate the response though, thanks

Hiya, to get at the appropriate files you need to ;
-rename a copy of main.dat to main.rar. unpack it... inside data are files and folders for you to alter and stuff in your mod.
-inside data/dialogs/ are txts detailing sizes and placements of the games dialogs...
-get a modstructure together http://devwiki.introversion.co.uk/pa/index.php/Modding here's a little info on getting going...

GL; the dialogs I have not seen detailed at all... only the mentioned clockmode messes with the clock buttons..

ps. Programmer two... but cant mod this for ya!
