Game Size..

Post by Marvel »

So I was wondering if there was some way to make the game window for UO bigger than just the regular default size.. Monitors have some a long way since 1999 and are a lot bigger so I had to ask.

Yes, there is the options menu and also in Razor you can enter your own resolution.

To add to this, while you can expand the overall size of your main UO window and see more of the landscape at once, to my knowledge there's no way to do kind of an artificial "zoom" on it so that things are simply not so tiny on the screen.

I tried for a while to mess with settings in Windows to get it to zoom and nothing really worked like I wanted it to. The closest I got was to lower the resolution in Windows which in a way "zooms" closer on everything, but that wasn't very desirable overall. Looked a little blurry.

In the end I ended up just getting used to how small text/items/etc were and at this point it doesn't look painfully small to me anymore.

You could drop your display resolution too.. I have known a few to do this because they thought it was more comfortable or the game just looked better
