Fledgling Fyora TheBahir Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have a question about the size of the HUD in Avernum: EftP and Avernum 2:CS. When I see screenshots of the game, it looks like this. Small HUD, huge game world. But when I take a screenshot of the game, it looks more like this. Notice how much more cramped the screen is, with the character roster almost touching the UI at the bottom. I'm playing at full-screen, 1366x768 resolution (which is the resolution of my laptop screen). How do I tweak the game to look like it does in the first screenshot? Is it a mod? Or is the resolution set to the maximum that my laptop allows, and that's just how it is? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Someone else who knows more about this than I do might correct me, but I'm pretty sure that if you want to play in 1920 x 1080, you need a laptop that can go up to a resolution of 1920 x 1080, and it sounds as though you're saying that your laptop doesn't.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Is 1366x768 the only possible resolution of your laptop screen? It's not clear from your post if you've tried changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I believe that the HUD does not scale in the same way that the world does. I suspect that this might have been deliberate to ensure that the HUD portions are clear no matter how small/lo-res a display that you are using. So unfortunately, to get the look that you want, I believe that you will need to play on a higher resolution/larger screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have a laptop with the same resolution. On occasions when it's not hooked up to my large TV as a second monitor, I have to keep the automap and party list minimized. If you click on the circle in the upper left corners of each of those, it will compact them into just a bar or open it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora TheBahir Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 My laptop won't go above 1366x768, and this is what seems to be the problem. Thanks for the help, the game's still fun even with this resolution. Spoiler It would be nice if it were prettier, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
