Hi, I've downloaded my client from l2dex website. I play on laptop which has screen in 3000x2000 resolution, on native resolution game has very small text and UI which is normal due to very high res but when i set up 1080p or any other resolution the text cannot fit in brackets which makes the game unplayable. Does anyone has this problem as well ? Do you know how to fix it, i tried looking on google but couldn't find anything useful. Here is a screenshot how does it look like:

i am still encountering issues with this. changing the font size from windows doesn't work
fault starts if i switch to full screen (even if i revert to window mode). problem was fixable by reinstalling the game, but now not even this fix is working.

I have attached a picture of this looks (unplayable)

please advise

if someone else encounters this, my problem is caused by the laptop i'm playing, it has a 3000x2000 screen resolution and if the game enters full screen(by accident), fucks everything.

as a solution, play with the "compatibility mode" of the l2.exe
tnx for the help

Ah... I know solution =) Install drivers for your laptop. Its known problem, when u have high resolution and windows dont know "how to scale" fonts.
Try install drivers for it

Hey all

I had a similar problem, i found a "half fix", to return the icons and windows to "big state". You need to delete some files in register.

Here is the URL to the post: 4K UHD Screen and Lineage not letting you change the screen resolution

I had to navigate to a different file location within the registory edditor to find the right keys, for me they were in the :
"Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers"

I deleted all the ".bin" files of L2 (they were all from other servers)

Again, this will not decrease the font, but ti will make your windows larger.

I hope it helps.

or do this, is what worked for me
1. right click L2.exe (not the updater)
2. go "Compatibility"
3. tick "run in compatibility mode for : Windows 7"
4. click on "run compatibility troubleshooter"
5. on the pop-up window , click "Try recommended settings"
6. click "test the program"
7. ENJOY!!!!
8. to make it "permanent" , in the popup window click "next" and then "yes, save these settings for this program"

problem will reoccur if you switch to full screen again (in my case at least)
