ui scale
 

Anybody able to scale the UI?

Mine sitting at 0.5 scale and I cannot change it at all.

Yeah, can change between Good, Ultra and High (!) in the Game menu -> Graphics -> Advanced. Let's just say I liked the old way better.

and that does anything to you?

No it seems disabled. as the tag for it says to be added.

Well, works fine for me. I pull down the menu and click on good, because I like when things are good. And after that i click on apply and then changes the size like it used to.

strange never seems to work for me.

/console uiScale 0.75

I tried the console stuff, seems to be disabled.

Go into your config.wtf file and change or add these lines:

SET uiScale "0.75" <<-- set this to between .5 and 1
SET useUiScale "1"

Maybe you should try disabling it at all and just use UIParent:SetScale(x). That is the most reliable way

Only have to do this one time:
/console useUiScale 1

Then you can tweak this to your liking:
/console uiScale 0.75

May need restart of game if useUiScale as not 1, also you can just add this to the config.wtf file (not as-is, you'll understand). :)

Works just fine, even without a restart.

Everyone knows Zork is talking about the Beta, yea?

I hope so, I'm gonna try what they said. Sure this is BETA ONLY. I mean I posted this in the BETA FORUM!

Approved! The two lines he posted seal the deal.
Thx.

yes seems gtg.

/console uiScale 0.8

You need the

SET useUiScale "1"
or
/console useUiScale 1

As this tells the system to look for and use the uiScale varable.

useUiScale actually no longer exists (or at least the game claims it doesn't).

on friday I was still using it like always with no issues whatsoever. yet, when i logged in earlier today (with nothing changed in the UI since friday), i noticed that setting useUiScale suddenly results in a lua error indicating that the cvar is no longer there.

not quite sure what the deal with that is.

There is a thread on the tech support forums about it.

The link to the blue post is Ui Scaling.

Just to reiterate: Vladinator's solution works in the current beta build and for me it also fixes the unnaturally large speech bubbles and unit health bars (the ones that float over the NPCs and are activated with "V" in standard key mapping, don't know how they are exactly called in English).

EDIT: I have to correct myself on the nameplates and speech bubbles. At least on my Windows machine UI scale didn't affect them. On OS X I thought it changed both alongside with the UI scale but maybe that also was an optic illusion. ;)
