How To Make Game UI Bigger If Needed
Hope this will help anyone like me the are having a problem seeing the UI on a HD screen.
For me I am on a 55 4k TV at 4096X2160. I am sure this will help at any resolution.
However this is what I did and got it to play and still look great with a UI I am able to see.

First and most important you --MUST-- start the game and put it in window mode.
I set the game to Win mode at 4096X2160.
Now the window will get smaller and not in full window mode, like 25% of my screen at least.
Do not worry that is not the size it will be when you start the game again.

Now with the game set to Win/mode exit the game.

Next you have to make your Windows UI bigger.
To do this just right click anyplace on your desktop click display settings and move the bar under the {Change the text,app,and other items:} Move it over to whatever size you like. I set mine to 125% and can see game UI like 200% better.
Now.
Click the sign out now.

Sign back in and now restart Steam and get ready for next step.

Do Not Start WOF launcher yet.

Now you have to go to the game file of WOF in Steam. Programfiles(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/worldoffishing
I went into all the .EXE file (or application type files) not app extensions.
Im sure you do not have to do them all but i did.

The MOST important one to do is the one named
WorldOfFishing.exe ..
If you are not sure just check them and make sure they are all set to the next step.

Right click on the WorldOfFishing.exe file and click Properties at the bottom of the list .
Click the Compatibility tab and make sure the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings is UNCHECKED... Hit Apply and start game ... all set :)

Keep in mind if you do not follow the same steps what will happen is the game will keep rechecking the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings and the UI in the game will be as small as you remember it :)
The main thing is to start the game and set it to windows mode first. If you have it set to fullscreen the game will keep rechecking the Disable DPI in the Compatibility setting every time.

I was told by a GM in game when I asked if you could make the UI bigger some way.
He said not at the time. However it is one of the main things they are working on...

Good luck and good fishing !!

Akio, I also put the same info in a guide. I have never posted in th guides so not sure if I did not do it right. It says only visable to me and developer of game.. Let me know if I messed up and need to fix it .. or if you like you can just post it yourself.
