UI scale, themes & Change Character

Interface scale

If the menus look too big or too small on your screen:

• Type /uiscale auto to fit them to your screen automatically, or /uiscale 1.2 for a fixed size. The Settings tab (I, SETTINGS, “Interface scale”) does the same thing. Values go from 0.6 up.
• /buildbarscale 0.75 to 1.35 only resizes the bottom build bar.
• /voicehud moves and resizes the voice and radio indicator.
• /hud full and /hud minimal change the HUD mode, /hud opacity 0.6 the transparency, and /hud xp top or /hud xp bottom the XP bar. /hidehud hides and shows the HUD (no key is set for it until you pick one in the key bindings).

These are saved on your PC only. They do not change anything for other players.

When a screen gets stuck

• /unblur removes a stuck blur and gives the mouse back to the game.
• /refreshui closes every open menu and resets the interface.

Theme packs and colours

The look of every screen is a theme pack that the server owner picks: Dossier (gritty survivor-file look, the default) or Classic (flat panels, no grain or tape). Players do not choose the pack, but you can pick Menu colours in the Settings tab for the inventory, the pause menu and other menus. Some colour palettes need a VIP tier.

Change Character

Press ESC to open the pause menu and choose Change Character. It asks “Save and go back to the character selection?” and then saves and takes you back to the selector, where you can pick another character or make a new one.

• You cannot switch while you are downed.
• If you press it twice in a row you are told to wait a moment, then try again.
• Your language is saved on your account and works for every character.
