Greetings,

I'm unfortunately finding that the text just isn't readable.. too small. I'm using a Panasonic Viera 1080p capable TV through the HDMI interface. I do also have a smaller computer screen but I'd rather not use it, and even if I do, this is still a problem.

I've been trying all sorts of things.. all kinds of resolutions, window mode, full screen window mode 'UI scaling', context menu fontsize.. even tried the program 'winexplorer' to strip away borders and force full screen, but nothing seems to be working well

The only way to make the text readable it seems, is to play at somewhere between 1024x768 to 1280x1024 resolution.. surely this isn't how it's supposed to be? I don't know guys, I've been googling and reading for days now but I just can't find a good answer to this.

Please let me know if I've missed something.

Which text are you having trouble reading?

The chat windows have buttons that adjust the font size within.

Well, everything. I've noticed those but that really doesn't help when it comes to the rest of the UI :/

The UI is not made to be used on TVs. It works fine on 1080p computer monitors.

Try using UI Scaling (in the graphics menu) to make the text bigger.
