I stumbled across this when i tried making the entire server browser itself larger, cause i couldn't find the res file.

It's an interesting approach making "just the font" bigger, but that also breaks half the ui in other dev spots that you don't want to make bigger.

Also, for those people saying it doesn't work: Y'all need to start reading descriptions.
If you don't auto exec your resolution change, this won't work. Start paying attention.

Also-er. You should redo this on th new res file, cause its out of date.
There's some parts that were added since release to make it steam deck friendly.

Is not working despite placing those lines in my autoexec file. And my resolution is the same as yours.

so... where is the autoexec folder?

Is there a way to make this compatible with custom fonts?
DolphieDude 24 Jan, 2021 @ 1:51pm 
upd: It doesn't work because it's limited by your display's resolution, so this way to get bigger console font won't help you a lot if you use 4K resolution in game
DolphieDude 24 Jan, 2021 @ 1:09pm 
I have checked properlier and yeah, it makes it bigger a bit but console is still not readable. What if I inut more than 4k resolution into my autoexec?

If you input your proper resolution into your autoexec it should have at least some improvement on 4k. Though I have not tested on 4k so I can't offer any further insight.
DolphieDude 24 Jan, 2021 @ 11:17am 
Doesn't work in 4k. Any another way to make the console font bigger?

@patrxgt AK47 As far as i know it isn't, it can still be used.

Is this a obsolete mod after The Last Stand Update?

You should get rid of the quotes around that line. I included them, not knowing I wasn't supposed to, and it didn't work. You'll get people in here saying "doesn't work" because they're copy pasting the full line.

Hello there,

This addon doesn't work for me. I use 3840x2160 DSR on a 1080p monitor.

Cheers man.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\cfg

autoexec.cfg is there, if it, isn't create a new text file, rename the file extension (.txt) to .cfg, edit it and add the line in the directions. The location of this file is something you could've easily looked up. Instead you downvoted the file and took no intiative to read the description. Shameful.

Edit: If you don't know how to view file extensions, google it.

Edit: the line should be mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 0;mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 1 (OP forgot an underscore.)

Edit: I couldn't get the game to process the second line because the game freezes up momentarily when changing video modes. So what I did was make a new bind that I can toggle it easily. (CHECK NEXT PAGE IF SECOND (CONTINUED) COMMENT ISN'T BELOW THIS ONE, HIT MAX 1000 CHARACTER LIMIT!) Put the following lines in your autoexec.cfg file:
Barnie Blaha 7 Apr, 2018 @ 10:19pm 
alias toggle-videomode-0 "mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 0; alias toggle-videomode toggle-videomode-1"
alias toggle-videomode-1 "mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 1; alias toggle-videomode toggle-videomode-0"
alias toggle-videomode "toggle-videomode-0"

(Change to your proper resolution in the lines above, for example, mine is 1600 900.

Then restart the game, open the console and bind a key to the new alias/command we made, I used F4, so what I typed in to the console: bind F4 "toggle-videomode"

You only need to bind a key to the alias/command one time. Simply press whichever key you bound it to once, then wait for the windowed mode to change, then hit it again, with the mod installed the main menu should look similar to the mod screenshots above. :smoke::smoke::smoke::meadowfrog:

Excellent mod. :meadowfrog:

I have no clue how to get this to work since you give no details. Server browser is useless on 4k resolution due to no scailing=too small of text to read:steamfacepalm:
