Can't make text big enough

[Glak]

Hello,

I cannot make the text big enough. I went to "Accessibly" and clicked to remove the scaling limit. Then I set HUD and tooltips to make. They are still very small. I imagine that the problem would be even worse for people with more common resolutions, but I only have 1680 by 1050. The HUD parts in the lower left and lower right are fine, but everything else is still small enough to strain the eyes, for example the tutorial text.

Is there any way to fix this? I have been looking forward to this game and don't want to get a refund.

You could try 'Magnifier'.
For me the UI Scaling is just good enough, but would prefer a bit more.
I do, however, use larger monitors.

Yes, I have this problem as well and was mentioning here from the get-go. Soren Johnson's gotta have eagle eyes.

May I ask for the size of the screens you are using?

Warning. You may find my opinion extreme. For this type of game the frame rate is irrelevant on a modern screen. I propose to settle on a really BIG display @ 30Hz with 4k resolution (ultraHD 3840x2160) over the cheap HDMI 1.4 interface (e.g. DeLOCK High Speed HDMI Cabel, 1.8m, 28 AWG, Data transfer rate up to 10.2Gb/s for about 6-9€). 4k-TVs are inexpensive compared to computer monitors. I can testify to the immersion. It feels so much better to play.

Compared to a 16:9 computer monitor (eg. 27'' in FullHD, 1920x1080) and its bigger variants (16:10, 21:9) provides an appropriate TV with same pixel size (eg. 55'' in 4k-ultraHD, 3840x2160) much more space: "32:18".
Same pixel size means: the picture details look the same in absolute size from the same (armlength!) distance, but the whole screen shows the fourfold area.

I have been playing Old World on my 77" 4K OLED and my solution was to turn up the Display Settings "Scale and layout" option and crank it up from 100% to 350% and then start the game. Also in game both UI size settings at max.

I think either your scaling is bugged, or mine is bugged in the opposite direction.

This is what it looks like for me with both sliders on the lowest setting:

And on the highest:
