:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Since we can’t necro threads, I’ll link to a thread that talked about the issue a year ago. But the issue seems to occur for all non-1080p resolutions, apparently:

Control group #s still look the same (often unreadable) a year later. Here is group “1”, for example, at 1440p, not using the UHD pack:

Forum won’t let me post more examples.

:arrow_forward: PROPOSED FIX

I would like something more like this, but a little smaller. MSPaint only let 8-pt font, I wanted 6-pt for my mockup:

  • Please no black/dark outline around the number at all
  • And having a “Control Group Font Size” setting in Game or Accessibility options could be nice, so we can make it smaller or bigger than what the devs implement, if we prefer; as I slightly fear devs will land on a size that’s too big for my tastes.

Hi @Darkness01101

Thanks for the feedback about the control group. Even if the numbers are small the control groups are also shown at the bottom of the screen. The idea of having the small is to avoid adding unnecessary information on the screen. However, I´ll pass your comment to the team.

For sure, good point. I can’t test different font sizes in game to know if larger font would look like annoying visual clutter, especially with large groups of units. So I will trust your judgment.

Is there a file I can mod to try and experiment different sizes?

If font size is changed, it still might be nice to allow players to control the size via options menu, as you’re right. What if I regret bringing this up, it gets changed and I want to bring it back to present state :sweat_smile:

I will try to pay more attention to the bottom of the screen more often, as I tend to forget about that mid match
