Description

Hi,

On my Dell XPS 15 9560 the UI is tiny. There's no way to increase the size of the UI at all. Please add an option to increase the size/scale of the UI.

Hey the option is implemented but not yet in the main menu because using a slider there has annoying side effects. Using the information in GameDataPaths you can edit your user.cfg file and add

gui.scale = 1.5

Hey thanks so much for such a fast reply! Where do I find this .cfg file?

I'm on Linux. I have no idea where the game is installed.

Edit: Found it in: /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.play0ad.zeroad/current/active/files/share/games/0ad/config

P.S. You don't need to add a slider. Just adding a text box or something, or even a multiple choice (radio button) or check box that says "UI Size 150%" & "UI Size 200%" etc. would be fine if a slider causes so much problems.
