Double UI size for client

Is it possible to double the UI size for the game client? I can't find the option anywhere and I've been having to squint at chat.

You can, yes, but currently there's no toggle for such a feature in Saradomin (and it only works with the experimental client).

We *do* plan to add a toggle for this, but until then you need to manually run the client jar via

Code: Select all

cd %UserProfile%\2009scape && java -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.0 -jar 2009scape_pazaz.jar
in command prompt.

Bear in mind scaling is not a feature Jagex supported in any way, shape, or form so all usage of it is highly experimental at the moment.

Thank you, feels great to see better with bigger UI now! You're right there're some jank to the experimental client, like middle mouse doesn't rotate camera anymore. But this is already much more comfortable to look at.

Middle mouse does, if you install the plugin.

That's not jank, that's just how the 2009 client was. The experimental client isn't jank, it just has no modifications.

Please refer here to see how to install plugins to get the extra features you want: https://gitlab.com/2009scape/tools/client-plugins

**** No modifications other than adding scaling support and updated graphics libraries

I did not realise that's what plugins are. Thank you so much! I'm all sorted now.

Plugins are just the way we chose to extend the client's functionality with the new experimental client.
It means we can keep the actual client's code mostly pure, and still have new features/QOL changes without compromising the authenticity of the client.
