Preparing the interactive tool. Please wait; the guide and worked examples remain available below.
Make the decision visible before changing it
The official notes give two practical controls but not a guarantee that all interface elements behave identically on every display or future patch. Change presentation first, then inspect the same screen again before making a strategic move.
- Open current settings and locate the Graphics/UI Scale control; note its present value before changing it.
- Adjust the slider in a small increment and reopen the same tooltip or council/ship detail that was hard to read.
- If needed, inspect the magnifier setting and current key binding. The 1.0.38 note listed backslash as the default; verify your actual key map.
- Keep the change only if the relevant text is readable and the game remains usable at your display resolution.
- If controls are absent, record build and platform; a newer/other platform interface may not match the historical note.
| Need | Source-backed starting point | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Small interface text | UI Scale slider noted in 1.0.38 | Menus may have changed since that patch |
| World-space tooltip text | The notes say tooltips respond to UI Scale | Not proof every screen scales |
| Quick magnification | Magnifier, default backslash in 1.0.38 | Keybind may be remapped or platform-specific |
| Unreadable control remains | Capture UI/build details for support | Do not guess the hidden value |

Separate readability from strategic uncertainty
A copied plan may fail because a tooltip is unreadable, not because the mechanic changed. Record which text you could not inspect and postpone the consequential choice until the current UI is legible.
- State the screen and label/tooltip that is hard to read.
- Record the UI Scale and magnifier/keybind settings you tried.
- State whether the text became legible after the change; do not post personal medical details.
- Ask an external player discussion a UI question rather than requesting a universal campaign strategy.

Before you play
- I checked the live settings and current key binding.
- I changed UI scale in a reversible small step.
- I rechecked the same tooltip before changing my plan.
- I recorded build/platform if the documented control was absent.
Frequently asked questions
Is backslash always the magnifier key?
It was the default stated in build 1.0.38 notes. Your current keybind or platform can differ.
Does the magnifier repair every small-text issue?
No. The notes do not promise that every UI surface or display setting is covered.
Does this guide know my display or accessibility settings?
No. It only provides a checklist and reads no local system or game data.
