Slightly larger, letters / numbers...

On the plotting map, the lines, numbers, degree markers are too fine and too small for me to see properly.

I think I've seen a mod that can fix this, but I can't find it anymore.
Someone who knows a solution?

yes, lower the video resolution.
i have the same issue, especially on my laptop.
in order to read the text, i must play at 1200x900.
do i prefer that resolution? No. but it is down to that or not playing.

welcome to middle age.

@KaleunMarco

Thanks for the quick reply!

InGame I now have the Laptop screen at 1024x768 (4: 3).Whatever proportion I choose, I can't get the circles round, they are more or less oval ...

How are yours?

yeah, that's distortion at 1024x768 within the game.
did you try some of the other higher-lower resolutions?
1280x800
1280x960
or even 1600x900 (might be small but i would check)

Use a resolution that more closely matches the monitor (with laptops, that is more difficult)... if you have a 16:9 monitor, use one of those.

OK, Thank you all,

my laptop screen is 1920 x 1080 wich is 16:9. Now the letters, lines etc are too thin. Thanks to KaleunMarco he gave me the idea to change that INGAME to another format as long it stays 16:9! I put it INGAME to 1600 x 900 wich is also 16:9. Now better lines, letters etc. And all the cirkels are perfectly round!

Thank You!!

I've had a very difficult time seeing lines on the map too. I used one of the map mods that changed the deep parts of the ocean to a very light grey and the shallows to a medium blue. Really made a difference.

I would like to find the files that set the color for map marks and lines to darken them.
