  I really want to play this game but I am having trouble to see high DPI the games load with a tiny tiny font for me.

    Hmm, there might be a more proper solution, but picking a lower resolution would probably make things bigger…

      So if I change out my wife’s glasses, something might appear bigger? 👀 /s

    The config file has some settings that might help

    https://github.com/0ad/0ad/blob/master/binaries/data/config/default.cfg

    Such as

    scale = 1.0                       ; GUI scaling factor, for improved compatibility with 4K displays
    

    And maybe

    ; Enable Hi-DPI where supported, currently working only for testing.
    hidpi = false
    

    Finally

    ; Force a particular resolution. (If these are 0, the default is
    ; to keep the current desktop resolution in fullscreen mode or to
    ; use 1024x768 in windowed mode.)
    xres = 0
    yres = 0

  0 A.D. is a solid one, def give it a good try. I go back to it every so often for multiplayer skirmishes.

  Haven’t played it in a year or two, I wonder if the ‘high unit count lag’ in multiplayer is gone.

  0AD has generted more excitement in the RTS space, for me, than the initial release of ‘The Ancient Art of War’.

  Try it out, if just for the late-game seige engines.
