Hi there,
Its been a while, long enough for my old account to go the way of the dodo. Not much of an introduction but it'll have to do for now.
On to the issue. I'm one of those players that value performance over pretty graphics so I'm willing to make the game look like it was ported over from the PSX as long as it gets me a few more frames. I've found that the game feels best in 800x600 and that's what I use at the moment. The issue I'm having is the hud, especially the chat. Whenever anyone types a longer piece of text it covers my xhair and makes it incredibly hard to aim. I've looked through the wiki for some console commands and the workshop for any mods that could help me solve this problem but came up with nothing so far.
My question/request is this: Is there any way to move the chat or better yet make the entire hud smaller (the minimap is huge too) on lower resolution settings. I'm sure this would be very helpful not only to me but people who have no choice but to use these settings.

an idea is cheating with rivatuner or similar, with texture detail adjustament ( is like r_picmip ) the font disappear at all.
( im trying to changing the font dimension in an ula file, but the servers refuse me :(, probably pure is on in all servers )
think this is my perfect hud:
time, fps, ups ( for jumpers ), ammo, HP, and a good chat ( with colored nick !!! )

Also, the server browser is unreadable, the text overlaps. The UI elements should scale with resolution or use smaller fonts.
Playing at 640x480 is the only way I can play the game with all the goodies enabled. At 720p or higher I have to disable everything for 30+ fps in normal play. I'm not blaming the devs for that, you can only "optimize" a game so much, but I would like the UI to scale properly with lower resolutions.
