However, once I detached from my docking station with a FHD external monitor, rebooted the laptop, I found Minetest was scaling upwards on its own and I had to undo the changes I had made manually because everything was huge. Otherwise, I was able to adjust the DPI a bit by using a few manual adjustments: Menu font size from 16 to 32, Monospace font size from 16 to 32, and GUI Menu scaling by 2.0 or so. MInetest seems to automatically adjust for high DPI if the 4K display is the only display. I use the hudbars mod and the hudbars scaled fine using modern statbar mode. I found the scaling seems to work quite well if no external monitors are attached. I actually have given it a few more chances, as I haven't resold it yet. Sad but true regarding support for new hardware. I ended up switching to the modern statbar version instead to make my bars as cross platform as possible. Once again this is due to the font size and the scaling of the UI by the MT engine I believe. That said, I have seen hudbars progress bars look really weird on Andoird 1080P screens where the text was normal but the bars scaled really small. I've become more conservative with adopting new hardware because of this.įor Minetest, there were settings in the advanced menus to adjust that made it more useable but there are so many and it not all of them worked very easily. I hate dealing with broken things and fighting my computer to get basic stuff working. I think I'll be sticking with a standard FHD screen for the foreseeable future still. I actually have decided to return to my Dell Latitude 7490 with a 1080P screen becasue it just works better overall with its support for free software and no NVIDIA driver combat is needed. XFCE scaling still needs work, but I hear its been improved in XFCE 4.14. Although, apart from Minetest, GNOME scaling handled everything flawless. 200% scaling essentally made it a 1080p anyways. But apart from that I didn't feel the 4K was worth it on a 15.6 screen. The screen was beautiful and OLED is a very promising display tech. I bought a XPS 7590 with a i9 and a OLED 4K screen recently and tried doing Minetest on it, but it was a nightmare to get everything setup with HiDPI.
