Known Issues
  • Resolution scaling might cause some issues at higher resolutions, especially when playing on a small monitor. We had to cap UI scaling at 115% in order to avoid users inadvertently fully locking the game on smaller resolutions. We’re working to make UI scaling options aware of resolution choices. On a smaller high resolution monitor we suggest playing at 1920x1080 or similar for now.
  • Resolution scaling causes some layout issues, especially in tutorials. We’re currently working to fix these issues.
