UI scaling solution
Hi is there a way to enlarge the ui. When I play on a 4k resolution I cannot read the text.
I would just use a different resolution but then my mous wont work. I have to move the mouse in the upper left quadrant of the monitor (e.g. when the mouse is in the middle i can click the right corner of the screen.
Thank you

AFAIK, 4K is not supported. Does look great in Civ 6 though

1920 x 1080 works ok

The main problem is the pixel density, which you can measure for example with PPI value (Pixels Per Inch).

There is no UI scaling in the Cic V, so you just need a huge screen size for large resolutions. For an example my 2560x1600 resolution works nicely and I can see everything, but... my screen is 30" in size. I had ~100 PPI with that screen, while someone with 22" FullHD (1920x1080) has around the same size pixels, ~100 PPI. But, for someone with 27" 4k screen, the PPI would be around 160 PPI, which is too much. It seems that everyhing up to around 100 PPI works, but not screens that has much higher PPI than that.

Thank you for the answer. I understand the problem. it would be nice if you could set it to % of max pixels and not fixed pixel values
