I mean... what tiny resolution are you using on the second screen?! It's 640x361?! One decade old "Smartphones" had such resolutions.
That scoreboard player name down-scaling always existed. It's not something new added with the new version.
Basically the thing that changed is that you are using a tiny resolution so less players fit on the scoreboard and it scales the text down - which, I totally agree, looks ugly and unreadable. The very same thing happened with older version on servers with 32 players.
But, gentlemen, we at Unreal Software take all sorts of criticism 100% seriously. The scoreboard needs some work anyway and I'll try to improve this by using a smaller font when there are many players. This will compensate to a certain limit but with a height of just 361 pixels you will still run into problems on a full server with 32 people. Can't fully prevent this. Don't want to add scrolling to the scoreboard.

DC: Or perhaps it's time to make a new scoreboard?! I mean, now that we're in the topic. DC, if servers reach 30 players, hope i still can read a names on scoreboards. 
One possible alternative would be to switch to a 2 column layout when necessary.

DC: Or perhaps it's time to make a new scoreboard?! I mean, now that we're in the topic.The current scoreboard has all the information we need; however, I think it'd be cool to make a new one, perhaps based on CS:GO's scoreboard, since that's the main CS nowadays and probably what new players are familiar with when coming to CS2D.
In my opinion looks great and grants enough space for a lot of players.
Ishara: Hm! That's actually a pretty good idea! 
Thanks for sharing Ishara's idea, we should be able to add parameters there manually. There'll be
sv_scoreboard command. And its default would be parse('sv_scoreboard "score" "death" "ping"') . We'll actually use the "value" parameter of player. So this way, we can make something like
parse('sv_scoreboard "health" "money" "ping"') which shows healths, moneys and pings of players in the scoreboard.This is only an idea. Of course, you should preoccupy while going to make it.
Promaster: No, please. No. No. Horrible nightmares. The resolution of CS2D shall not be touched again within the next 10 years. Too much trouble.@
Masea: That's complexity overkill. People who want that should script their own list. DC has written@ Masea: That's complexity overkill. People who want that should script their own list.
Masea: That's complexity overkill. People who want that should script their own list. scoreboard and returnto disable default scoreboard then.
Changing this would add latency dependent scoreboard lag which would be a horrible design flaw. Because that would mean it would take long to open the scoreboard when you have a high ping.
DC has writtenPlease yes
The new aspect ratio is not friendly with old resolutions -.- In my screens you can't see because it is cut, but there are black bars on top and below the view, and it appears only after joining a server.Of course this new bug will not annoy players who will play HD, but if anyone wants to go to old 640x480 they will have problem.
Imagine if Valve patched old resolutions in any cs version like this. Half of the community would cry
Quattro: New version won't have boarders for 640*480, 800*600 and 1024*768 optionally.Also valve did patched resolutions stuff long time ago.
SQ: That's awesome
But I still play cs:go on 640x480 using the potato laptop. They didn't patch it, works like a charm
Please.
