UI Font is messed up on non-standard resolution of 4096x2160
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2026 12:33 am
I play on an computer with a 4k display TV as a monitor. I am not totally sure why the display has some extra width over native 4k but since it is there I use it.
The problem is the interface font is messed up when compared to playing at the normal 4k resolution of 3840x2160.
It makes all the text harder to read and some of the finer text is really hard to read.
Is there any way to fix this?
Also I had a much older version of space age installed until recently and that version did NOT have this problem. The issue appeared after the game updated to 2.0.72 and 2.0.73.
I would include a screenshot but for some reason when I take a screenshot the font gets blurred slightly so it looks almost smooth.
How do I get the font smooth again in this resolution?
What is interesting is that the font looks fine when Factorio is not in the foreground. If I have another window in front of even a small part of the Factorio screen, the font looks fine though a tiny bit less sharp than I would like is all. Unfortunately this rule applies to even taking screenshots it seems because windows is popping up a tiny sort of window control at the top of the screen when I activate the screenshot tool. This keyboard does not have a print screen button so I am stuck with the windows screenshot tool unless there's another way to take a screenshot that I don't know about.
