We've seen a lot of feedback during the beta so far and based on this we've made some further changes to the beta. While this beta has been geared towards improving readability for owners of 1440p and 4K displays, these changes will most likely have a positive impact on players with standard or smaller display sizes.

Many of you were asking for options to scale the interfaces down and a separate option increase the font size of the chat window.

Changes

  • We've added experimental interface down scaling options which allow you to scale your interfaces down up to 70%. These can be found under 'Settings -> Graphics'.
  • The interface scaling options have been changed. 110% and 120% options have been added and 125%/325%/350%/375%/400% have been removed.
  • It is now possible to adjust the font size of text in the chat window. You can adjust the fonts to 11, 13, 15 or 17pt via the Settings icon in expanded mode or the '-' icon in the non-expanded mode. Alternatively, you can go to 'Settings -> Gameplay -> Messages & Social -> Chat Customisation -> Chat Box Text Size' in the options menu.

    We're eager to hear your feedback on these tweaks. We are particularly interested in hearing your thoughts about enabling the camera offset feature by default on all mobile devices.

The initial Interface Scaling & Camera Offset Beta news post can be found here .

Interface downscaling is a huge deal for those with dated machines, or smaller laptops they use for skilling/less intense gameplay. Very very cool QOL stuff in this!!

Glad you're enjoying it!

Is there a reason why you skipped the even font numbers?

Just tried it out though, seems really good. Did notice one issue which I reported though. Would be nice to have the font size for dialogue boxes bigger too.

I believe we only have an 11, 13, 15 & 17pt in our game but I could be wrong.

/u/mod_asherz be able to better elaborate on this though.

I really like that the font size of the text in the chat window can now be adjusted; it's something I've wanted for quite a long time. I am glad this has been separated from the interface scaling.

One more possible request, /u/JagexPoerkie - is it possible to have the font size for text on keybinds and text on buff bars to be adjustable as a separate option?

This seems unlikely at the moment as it is another beast and mod asherz already messed around with the chat in the past.

Approximately when will the beta end?

There is no end date, but I imagine it will be live for at least another week.

While we're making improvements for varying screen sizes can we have tabs in interfaces change from this shape /¯\ to this one |¯| to save space?

This is outside the scope of what we're currently doing and testing. I imagine this being part of a bigger overarching UI revisit.

There seems to be an issue with word wrapping sometimes, leaving an empty line.

If you have multiple chat windows and try to use chat box text size, only one gets scaled and the other tabs seem to act weird with the scaling, some get scaled and others don't until you switch to a different chat tab and switch back. Sometimes the other tabs don't scale at all, only the main "all chat" tab.

Thank you very much for your extensive testing! This deffo very useful for us.
