Lossless Scaling app & DDO (running DDO at 1080p full screen on 4k desktop)

My 5 cents, they should scale the fonts at the chat box. I believe it might be hard to scale the dialogs in the game area but it should be relatively trivial to introduce a scalable TTF font for the chat. We could then just choose the font size in the chat box and 50% of the problems are gone.
Another 30% I would say is the icons. They could just introduce an option for 64x64 but that might be harder than it seems.
For the rest, let's be frank: we can live with. We do prefer they work on actual bugs and game improvements.

The chat box font is already scalable. It could go a bit higher, but on the largest font size it´s quite readable, even on a 4k screen.

Will check it out! Ty for the tip

It´s under UI Settings, just above where you can set colors for different text channels.

It's limited to 20pt only.
At a 32" 4k monitor it's too small.
Why can't they just ******* add a few more lines ending at 40? 5 minutes of effort

If anyone is still considering this, Steam currently has it on sale at 50% off (£2.94)

I mean I'm sure AI can upscale icons pretty nicely. And even better at doing textures.

How to out yourself as a non-artist.

Pay for some music now and then. It's good for the soul.

Thx for this, I've bought the program and it works really well! Only thing is that it doesn't play super nice with Dungeon Helper, probably because it's an external interface that it overlays on DDO, but the effect is that I get an invisible DH ui to interact with and an visible unscaled DH ui that is fixed to the position it would be in if DDO wasn't scaled. It's not a huge issue, I just wondered if anyone how use upscaling had any tips in this regard?

How to use Dungeon Helper while scaled...
1) Right click dungeonhelper.exe
2) Go to properties
3) Disable fullscreen optimizations
4) Change high DPI settings
5) Checkbox Use this setting to fix scaling problems.
6) Set Use this DPI that's set for my main display when => "I signed into Windows"
7) High DPI scaling override = Application

So, out of the box, that will fix the scaling issue with the app, but images and text will be 4x bigger than they should be. To fix this...
1) Set scaling in windows to 100%
2) Restart windows
3) Set scaling to 150% (or whatever you want)
