Icon and font clarity

[bones79]

Hi,

Can anyone advise on a way of improving the text and icons in the following screenshot?

The fonts aren't crisp, like the antialiasing is wrong, and the icons are terribly blurry (particularly beneath the city titles). I'm at 1080p (on desktop and in game), using an AMD HD7850.

Thanks!

That looks perfectly normal to me, I don't know of any setting that would change what you said, just modding the fonts and icons themselves.

Ah, ok. Thanks Vipman.

The font rendering in M2TW and RTW is very bad at up-scaling. They are really only crisp at 1024x768 (with gpu/monitor scaling disabled, of course).

I guess most people are not affected, but personally it gives me eye fatigue after playing sometime. I'm prone to eye fatigue, though. Younger eyes may not be affected.

Never seen a mod fix that, so I'd venture to guess that it is hard-coded and can't be fixed by mods.

Here's a reply I posted a while ago as part of a similar discussion. Your problem may be somewhat alleviated if you don't stretch the display to fill a widescreen monitor.
