How to increase text size in game?
Hello everyone!
I play on PC with a big screen connected using a joystick and it's generally comfortable. But when it comes to text, especially the level of damage to spare parts, or the names of spare parts, etc. then nothing is visible, and it directly causes total discomfort. Maybe there is some way to increase the size of the text, or download a mod that would do it, because so far I'm stuck on the first task, so it's impossible to play))
I will be grateful for any help ^^

What are you calling a "big screen" in your case? I ask cuz people used to think a 24" screen was big. And, that's a bit on the small side imo. I use a 27" and could probably do with something slightly bigger... I'm blind in one eye and can't see all that great out of the other. So, I need text to be a bit bigger also. For that reason, I run my desktop resolution @ 1600 x 900 and set my games to match that... usually. Although I have some old games I have to run at 1280 x 720 in order for them to look correct. My point is, I don't usually run at 1920 x 1080 even though that is the recommended res for my monitor. And, I use Windows option to scale text to 125% (slightly larger) to compensate some more. Plus, I have my monitor up closer to me so I can read stuff. That still becomes an issue though with quite a few games that some dev decided to cram as much into as small a space they could in the UI.... ugh. I do have trouble seeing difference between 5, 6, and 8 in this game. But, I don't know of anyway to make text any larger in-game. So, be sure to post your solution if you find one. It'll be appreciated.

Yo, I using 4K TV with 32'', that I call big screen, XD
I use it, cause sometime I use my PC as PS or Xbox, and lie on sofa for comfort playing on gamepad, but this game not for this, lienig on sofa I don't see anything but rly like this game, if I find some solution I share this for you)
yes i cant see text in the game, also playing from 3m on a controller and big screen, no resolution change or scalling helps, game just doesnt care what u change, text stays in the same small format. Does anyone know how to make it bigger?

Would the Windows Accessibility magnifier tool be of any use? It allows the user to selectively magnify part of the screen. I've no idea if it works for a game in fullscreen or borderless fullscreen window, but it might be useful and it's already built into Windows.

My native eyesight is classed as "functionally blind", but I'm fortunate in that it's correctable with the right lenses. I need 3 different lenses, but it works. Which brings up an outside possibility that might help some people - it's possible to get glasses made for a specific distance (one of my pairs is specifically for 105cm) and it's possible to have magnification built into them.

Distance-specific glasses were the biggest or maybe 2nd biggest graphical upgrade I've experienced in all the years I've been gaming. The only upgrade in the same ballpark was when I bought a graphics card using the then brand new Voodoo GPU (before they were called GPUs), the first 3D graphics card. Going from software rendering on a 486 to that was amazing.
