Damage numbers -- Can barely see them now

Post by Tarkus the dog » Fri May 21, 2021 5:25 am

The new update is pretty cool, I disliked the font change initially but it's quickly grown on me. But now I can barely see the damage feedback numbers, and changing the colors barely helps any. The override which changes it to nice goreish red doesn't seem to work for me either.

Did anyone manage to figure out how to make it more visible? Is there a override which overrides ( duh ) the new numbers?

I couldn't stand the font and as result I run the oldstable version. You can get around the damage feedback by adjusting it from game options. I can't remember which page it is, but this works.

This should definitely be taken to Beamdog forums. I've heard other concerns.

I think the font reads fine, my only issue with it is there's not enough of a black boarder around it, which I assume is an issue regardless of what font is used. Grey text has always been hard to see, but names over heads is now harder to see on light backgrounds. Where are the beamdog forums? The last time I tried looking for how to contact beamdog it was focused on games that weren't NWN.

In the above image showing the UI options, highlighted in blue there is an option "Text bubble mode." Set this to "Full (text, portrait, and bubble)" and you will get what is visible on my screen when you highlight interactive objects.

For me the update made the font far more visible. I really like it. Kind of makes the whole game feel new.

Thank you, that helps a lot. I don't like text bubbles over peoples' heads when they speak, but it makes names readable.

Anyone know how to make the font bigger? It got squished and shrunk, so it's difficult to read.

I would love to know if anyone knows how to revert it.
The numbers look like they were written by a dyslectic toddler.

Not ideal but Options > Resolution and UI scaling > New UI Scale worked for me ( from 1.0 to 1.1 ). It makes the entire UI bigger but it's the best solution I've got so far.

I for one like the new font, yes it could be a bit smaller... bit too big in some places, but other then that least i don't need a magnifying glass to read anymore.
