"Tips and tricks" not displaying correctly with 1080p scaling above 125%

Post by y0LAs* »

Hi, don't know if it's from the last update, but if your interface scaling is above 125%, the tutorial windows will misplace the green button at the lower right edge of the screen, making the option to mark as read or play the interactive tip unreachable.

There is still plenty of space for the text and button at 150%, it is missing textures and color background on everything under the image :

As you can see when compared to its placement with 125% scaling or below :

Any non default scaling will create issues, that is why those are unsupported, if you can't live with it use default scaling.

So... Devs don't care... Surprising considering ho perfect the game feels the rest of the time.
Scaling is also really well implemented, everything seems crafted with a lot of care...
I'm not saying this could be easily fixed, but hey, if you're like that : "fine".

If they actually did not care you wouldn't have the option in the first place. Removing it might be the best solution in that regard...

With the insane complexity that is GUI and GUI layout we decided to draw a line and not spend a never-ending amount of time trying to make everything fit into smaller and smaller display resolutions. We decide that the minimum supported resolution was 1920x1080 at 100% scaling and 4k at 200% scaling and if it works at anything less that's just a bonus. But, we won't be spending time tinkering with the GUI/layout to make smaller resolutions or higher display scaling work if there are issues.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
