Essential improvements

Automatic unit cycling

Disable automatic unit cycling[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Edit UserOptions.txt.
  3. Change AutoUnitCycle 1 to AutoUnitCycle 0

Notes

This will stop the game from automatically switching to the next unit after ending the turn of another unit.
Since the first official patch, this is an ingame option as well.

Skip intro videos

Disable the intro Video at game startup[5]

Replace logos.bk2 with the replacement .bik file.

Notes

This 'fix' may need to be re-applied if you verify/validate your files, or the game updates with a patch.

Edge scrolling

Fix top edge scrolling being triggered before the mouse reaches the edge of the screen[6]
  1. In the installation directory, open Base\Assets\UI\WorldInput.xml.
  2. Find the line Container ID="TopScreenEdge" Anchor="L,T" Size="Full,30" Offset="0,28".
  3. Change it to Container ID="TopScreenEdge" Anchor="L,T" Size="Full,2" Offset="0,0".
  4. Save the file.

UI scaling

Apply UI scaling at any resolution[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open AppOptions.txt.
  3. Set the UIUpscale setting to the percentage of scaling desired.
  4. Save the file.

Notes

UI scaling is available as an in-game option at 4K resolutions and scales the interface by 2x.
Example: a UIUpscale value of 0.25 will increase the UI size by 25%. At 1440p, values between 0.2 and 0.3 work well.

Other information

Disable narration

Disable narration of loading screen and researched technologies text[8]
  1. Go to the Base\Platforms\Windows\audio folder inside the game installation directory.
  2. Delete all language folders, while leaving the *.wav files untouched.

Notes

It is not enough to delete the folder of the language your game is set to, e.g. English. This will make the game use the next-available language, e.g. Chinese.
Non-voice game sounds, for example UI actions, unit movement and combat sounds, and so on, are not affected by this mod and will still be enabled.
