Tactics Ogre: Reborn How to Improve Scaling Beyond 1080p

There is also a pre-release version of Magpie currently that might better support this with per-game profiles, but it doesn’t have language options and is only in Chinese. Install the program of your choice.

Before anything else, open the game and set it to run in a 1920×1080 window. If you’ll be playing with a mouse, also go to the control settings and set Mouse Sensitivity to 35.

Open Lossless Scaling, and create a new profile pointing to Tactics Ogre: Reborn’s executable. You can find where this is by going to Steam, right-clicking on the game, and selecting “Browse local files”

You will want to turn auto scale on in Lossless Scaling, and set a delay of at least 3 seconds. Increase this if you only see a small corner of the screen after the upscaling happens.

In your new game profile, set the scaling type to “Anime4K”. You’re free to experiment with different scaling types, but I find this one works best both for keeping sprites sharp and making UI elements smooth.

One other setting to change is toggling the “Legacy capture API” under rendering options. This prevents the system cursor from popping up. From there, you should be good to go.

Magpie is much simpler to set up, but it cannot (currently) apply the scaling fully automatically.

Start Magpie, and set the scaling to Anime4K. Then go to the settings and have it restore full-screen when the game is alt-tabbed out of. Then you should only have to enable the scaling with a hotkey once each time you turn on your computer.

There is a version of Magpie in pre-release currently that may add per-game profiles similar to Lossless Scaling. It’s all in Chinese though, and I can’t read Chinese, so I can’t confirm.

one last thing; If you’re playing at 4K, you can follow similar steps. Just set the in-game mouse sensitivity to 25, and try out either Integer scaling or any other methods that might look better with the clean 2X upscale. I don’t have a 4K monitor myself, so I’ll leave it at that.
