  • GAME BUILD #: 93694 PUP (Sept HotFix)
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Because there is a patch note for the 93694 PUP (Sept HotFix) that says “Fixed an issue where icons and text are blurry on certain resolution”, I went to compare the screenshots of the same screen in each of the three latest builds, and I conclude the bold text:

Screenshot 1, taken in build 90260: Nothing is blurry.
Screenshot 2, taken in build 93001: Icons, text, and wallpaper are blurry.
Screenshot 3, taken in build 93694 (PUP): Icons & wallpaper are fixed, text remains blurry.

I use 1920x1080 resolution, with enhanced graphics pack enabled.

Thank you for reporting; just to confirm - is this only an issue with Smooth Serif Font enabled, or all kinds of fonts?

Thank you very much, this should now be resolved in Hotfix 93870.

Well, I wouldn’t say really. If you compare the screenshots in fullscreen, there’s no improvement to Smooth Serif. Sans Serif and default font are fixed tho, I confirm, as previously mentioned.
