How-To

Since the UI is simply too big, here is the solution:

• Quit the game. Go to:
  PC: drive / name / appdata / local / ExpendionsRome / saved / config / WindowsNoEditor
• Then open the following (edit Windows Notepad or Notepad ++): Engine.
• Copy and paste the following at the bottom of the engine.ini:

[SystemSettings]
r.MaxQualityMode=1
r.MaterialQualityLevel=1
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0
r.BloomQuality=0
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.Color.Mid=0.3
r.Tonemapper.Quality=4
r.TonemapperGamma=2.2
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0

[/script/engine.userinterfacesettings]
ApplicationScale=0.75

• Save and start the Game.

You can adjust the size individually: 0.80-0.95

If you want it a touch brighter: r.Color.Mid=0.4
