is there any way to increase the size of the interface? not resolution just the icon size and such. my friend is struggling due to his resolution setting and the icons are literally so tiny its imposible to know whats what. He is also getting this error of the game thinking he dont have direct x current.
His is the most current direct x and his game crashes alot because of it

Try lowering the game resolution. If you run it at max, things are kinda small, but there's no need to run the game at max resolution.

Personally I like the interface to be tiny so it doesn't clog up my view of the landscapes in the game, so I hope they never introduce auto scaling of any kind unless you are able to turn it off or adjust it manually. But I can see the struggle of trying to read things on 3440x1440 resolution on a smaller monitor.
