UI Scaling
Dear Frontier Team, I'm very disappointed in you. I am very visually impaired and the surfaces and texts in the game are too small.

That's why I scaled it up to 160%, but here's the same problem as with Planet Coaster, which has many windows cut off.

I think it's a pity that you still haven't managed this.

Best is to add a function to make the windows bigger and smaller.

I reported this to the issues tracker earlier today. I have the same problem. I have to have the font at 100% anything else is tiny, You would have to lower the text scale back to the lowest in order to see the whole menu

Thaliruth thank you for pointing this out. I also am very vision impaired so this is good to know - I guess I'll wait and see if it is fixed/improved before purchasing.

I’m having the same issue except mine somehow went to 300% and now I can’t change it back! It’s incredibly frustrating. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Even the tip in my other thread

I don't have Planet Zoo, but I do have JWE and Planet Coaster so this may work if Frontier followed the way they did things with those other games.

Try going to C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\, you should have a Planet Zoo folder, open it and select your Steam ID, then the config folder. Delete the contents of the config folder - this should wipe all your settings.

It has now been set to 120% in the config file. So it is a bit bigger and nothing is truncated.

In the game settings itself there is unfortunately only a scaling to 160% after 100% which leads to problems, so I set it directly in the config to 1,2.

Thanks for that tip I only need it about 120% to be able to read the text but only being able to set it to 160 after 100 made the game unplayable for me. ( Did try switching between 100 and 160 as needed but that got really irritating fast!)

With me it might be gladly somewhat larger, but which comes after 120 then unfortunately cut off.

You have to adjust it in the Config, because as you say it doesn't work in the game, because directly after the 100 comes the 160.
Was this issue ever fixed? My Partner needs it at 160 and can't adjust the monitor resolution higher, as it would defeat the purpose for her.
