interface scaling not working

[Kish_Zera]

Hi,
I just installed the game on steam. in the settings I can specify 200% interface scaling. It seems to make no difference. There is no apply button, only the red X at the top right. I'm on a 4k monitor. The UI is so tiny it's unplayable. 400% scaling would probably be best. How do I get this to work?

Interface scaling is not good. It doesn't change the resolution of the ui icons or text, it just stretches them so they will probably appear a bit blurry. That's if you can get it to even work. It could be the client clamping you or windows not allowing the application to decide dpi settings maybe.

When it does work, it should apply once you make the selection automatically. Works for me but looks like crap. I'm playing on a 1440p monitor though, and it looks great without interface scaling. Icons are a bit small but it's not bad since most of them are keybinded anyway. They added text font size recently, so that's not bad anymore. And they are working on making the buff/debuff bar icons bigger as well.

Another thing you can try is going into the properties of the client and going to the compatibility tab. There are a few settings related to dpi that you could mess around with. I believe one of the settings allows you to use windows dpi in the display settings to change the size of the text and icons for the application. I can't remember if it works for rs3 or not, but I do know it would make everything else on your monitor use those scaling settings too which isn't ideal.

Highly doubt that proper support for 4k happens anytime soon. They'd have to redesign every ui component in the game to have a higher max amount of pixels. Then they could scale down for lower resolutions cleanly. Problem is the market for 4k isn't big, so there's not an incentive to make it a priority, especially when there's so many other projects on the pipeline that would benefit most players.

Isn't there already a beta client for 4k scaling?

Are you playing on 3840x2160p resolution? I have a 28 in 4k monitor, game res at 3840x2160p and interface scaling at 135% and it is plenty.
