Any mods out there that increase the size of UI?

Skvid · 06-29-17, 03:38 AM

Mainly im looking for a way to increase the scale of my TDC knobs, they are so tiny that its impossible to set AOE settings in less than 5 degree increments, and the range knob jumps 50+ meters on every pixel moved, not to mention my eyes which are starting to bleed from all the tiny adjustments and measurements i need to do...

Also the compass "rose" -- the tool you use to plot the course -- could be, like, 100% bigger.

Any way i could make this TDC UI work with wolves of steel?

Also, are there any mods that allow you to enter the height of mast into tdc, instead of going through that whole locking the target with your XO process....

I had the same issue and all posts I found on this Forum suggest that you can't increase font or UI size.

I have no lowered my Resolution and it is a lot better/ readable while it doesn't significantly Impact gameplay and Immersion.

Sorry of not being more helpful.

Same here guys, Im running pc with a 50" Samsung 4k TV, and @4k the UI is tiny.

Odd thing is, if I adjust the in game res to 2k (I don't mind lower resolution) the game won't display, just black screen and audio, or it wont fill my screen (just a smaller window that can't be resized.

Anyone know (or use) how to get lower res to fill a large screen?

Hi guys
Try this fix!
Right click on your SH5.exe
Go to Properties
Select Compatibility Tab
Run the ‘Compatibility trouble shooter.
Your system will now start investigating for any problems.
You may be asked to ‘test the program’
If you are offered this option then accept it.

You can also try ticking the box to ocerriide high dpi setting.
SH5.exe
properties
compatability.

Running at 2k on a 4k tv might be worth looking at a different gpu driver.

I've solved my problem now

If anyone else is having the same issues on a large 4k TV, this is how i fixed it:
Make sure you are not running in 'HDMI UHD Colour Mode' on TV (mine is Samsung) turn that off.
This enables you to change the desktop resolution, and set up the correct fullscreen res for the game.

With UHD colour mode turned on, you loose connection to PC whenever you changed resolutions in-game and on desktop for some reason.
