Does the UI Scale?

I bought this gain upon release and immediately got a refund because the UI did not scale (fonts too small on 2560x1440 monitor).

It's now been over 6 months since release!

Is there an option to scale the UI like there was in Civ 5?

I play at 2560x1440 and I want to be able to actually read the screen comfortably.

The UI in civ5 had two scale options.

And there is a UI scaling option in civ 6. It was added a few patches ago, and then extended down to 1440p resolutions a patch or so after that.

You can change the UI size from 100% to 150% to 200%. Im on 4k TV with 200% UI size and i can read and see everything very good.

Ok thanks... sounds like it's time to give Civ6 another try!

I played CIV 6 on 4k, I can attest that the font looks much larger during civilization leader talks.

Yeah, looking at it now, it seems boosted pretty much everywhere.

You can also customize the percentage by editing one of the configuration files, if the pre-defined scaling options don't work for you (I use 125% on 1440p).

Is there any way to keep it 'centered'?

Example is playing at 5760x1080 (three screens in one via nVidia surround). The UI is basically at the extreme right/left of the screen, and therefore a major pita to use. I'd like to keep it on the 'center monitor' if that makes sense.

Can you tell me where and how edit the file ?

I am having a related issue, I have purchased an Alienware AW5520QF 55 inch monitor and using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. When set to 4K the graphics for Civ 6 are fine and the size of the letter characters are fine; however, since I cannot change the UI Scaling down from the default 200% to something smaller, the icons for the units are way too large. Is there a way to make them icons smaller while the UI Scaling still seems to be broke? Thank you.
