Lowest resolution or increasing text size
« on: February 26, 2022, 01:24:20 AM »
Hello,

It appears (???) that the minimum vertical resolution is 768 for the GOG version, with lower resolutions cutting off some information.

It seems unlikely that a game this old demands a higher resolution than 720p, and I found an ancient mention of 800x600.

I would like to play the game on my 720 monitor with the text as large / legible as possible. Is there any known method for increasing text size?

The UI aside from the map is hard coded to fit two resolutions: 800x600 or 1024x768. Unfortunately if you don't give it enough vertical space, you will have the tops of various screens cut off. I deal with this when I play on an ancient 720p TV. You don't really lose valuable information, but you can't resize text AFAIK.
