Hello shopkeepers!
This is a minor update to fix a few bugs and adjust some settings based on player feedback. It also introduces a UI scaling setting for those of you playing on Steam Deck or other uniquely sized displays.
We hope this helps improve your experience on the Island, especially on Steam Deck or a TV.
UI Scale Setting
You can now change your UI scaling in the Visuals section of the in-game Settings.
This will let you change the size of the text, inventory, and other UI elements from this:
to something more readable like this:
This is helpful for playing on the Steam Deck or on a TV, which has become much more popular following our controller support update.
The slider goes the other way, too. So, if you have a very high-resolution monitor and you want some small, more minimalist UI, this should also cover you.
