Issue with User Interface

[OmegaDL50]

I have recently created my own server for offline play. I got everything working properly.

 

rAthena was properly compiled, the SQL database is working, everything is good, except one thing.

 

The in-game user interface is so small to the point of being illegible.

 

I used opensetup to configure my settings. I will note the last time I played this game was a few months ago on a backed up server using eAthena so I decided to scrap that and update everything to the newest client based on Renewal I could find (2015 -11-04a), so this is my first time using rAthena for my server software. My PC is more than capable of running this game (i5 3570k, HD7950, 8GB of Ram, and on Windows 10)

 

I set the games compatibility to Win XP mode, even tried adjusting for DPI scaling but nothing works.

 

I've even tried multiple resolutions as low as 800x600 to to my maximum of 1920x1080 and no matter what resolution I use the UI is small as you can see in the screenshot and is almost impossible to read. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The server software wouldn't create this issue. The only thing I can think of is some strange client issue. 

 

Is there anything that can be done to fix the UI scaling. Thanks.

did you changed the resolution of your monitor or your game setting?

 

the game settings are stored in

\savedata\OptionInfo.lua

 

scroll down to these, to make sure it's changed to lower resolution like what set before

OptionInfoList["WIDTH"] = xxxx
OptionInfoList["HEIGHT"] = yyy

 

For wide screen just set it to 1280x768

Yeah I changed both my desktop resolution as well as the game resolution.

 

I'm going to try different compatibility modes and see if that fixes the problem. Unless someone else had this problem I'm not sure what solution I can use to fix it.

Diff your client using NEMO and change "Resize Font" from 10 to 12 (or as you please). Should fix your problem.

Yeah that only increases the sizes of chat and npc dialog text. It doesn't change the size of the windows, login menus or status screens.

 

I think something went wrong with the actual game install. I'm just going to scrap everything and reinstall and see if that fixes the problem. One thing I definitely noticed wrong was the original Setup.exe was missing which require me to grab Opensetup to begin with. So missing files means something clearly went wrong.

 

I appreciate the help so far. If the problem persists after I reinstall the game, I'll make another status report.

what is the display resolution of your pc??  3440 x 1440 ??

[OmegaDL50]

1920x1080 is my max resolution.

 

I use a 32 Inch HDTV as a display via HDMI.

 

As soon as I get the RO reinstalled and get the client stuff setup again, I'll see if that fixes the problem.
