Baldur’s Gate II Text Issue on Android

admin

2015-05-12

I recently purchased Baldur’s Gate II on Google Play Store, but just after a few minutes of playing, I noticed how small the UI elements and texts were displayed on my LG G3.

Furthermore turning on the setting UI Scaling doesn’t change anything for screens above Full-HD, which is the case of the LG G3.
I decided to then open the file Baldur.ini located in:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.beamdog.baldursgatellenhancededition/files

With Root Explorer (you don’t need a rooted device). Then go to the lines 75 & 76 and change them from:

'Fonts', 'Zoom', '148',
'Fonts', 'Size', '3',

to:

'Fonts', 'Zoom', '248',
'Fonts', 'Size', '6',

If you would also like to increase the upper limit for the FPS by default capped at 30 fps, go to line 70 and change it, note that this can drain your battery:

'Program Options', 'Maximum Frame Rate', '30',

to:

'Program Options', 'Maximum Frame Rate', '60',

My final Baldurs.ini looks like this:
