Hi,

I'm running into an issue in that it is hard for me to read the in-game text on high DPI settings. My Lenovo laptop has a default screen resolution of 3200x1800. At this resolution, the font for the game is very small to the point of straining my eyes to read the text.

If I go to my desktop and right-click the OOTP16 icon > Properties > Compatibility > un-check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", the game will occasionally load using a lower screen resolution that makes the font large enough to be read comfortably. However, there are times where the screen will flicker when I click to load the game and the game will appear "minimized" on my desktop toolbar. Clicking on the icon does not open the game. Furthermore, if I manually minimize the main screen, the same issue occurs, where I am unable to reopen the "minimized" window.

While I realize that part of this issue is likely just due to the resolution of my computer, is there any way to make the UI more compatible on high DPI settings?

Thank you.

Edit: I am realizing after troubleshooting that the main cause of the issue is simply Windows and the high screen resolution. Really, the only surefire way for me to deal with this, without fear of not being able to reopen the game when the window is minimized, is to simply play the game under full resolution of 3200x1800. It is not the ideal solution, but I hope that in the future, the UI will be more compatible with Windows 8.1 and high res screens.
