Help with Resolution!
Everything is so small, even when I zoom. My desktop resolution is 3840x2160. When I lower the resolution, the window just shrinks. Can someone help with making the play area larger?

Yeah I'm having UI resolution issues too. Unscaled it's very hard to read - and the biggest issue there is I constantly miss notifications. But scaled up the text goes right out the right side and stuff breaks a lot. Not sure what to do!

This might help you.
Go into the game settings under video and make sure the resolution matches your desktop resolution. Then turn up the maximum interface width to the same resolution. Be sure to apply the settings.

Yes! Making sure the interface width matched seems to have solved the menu overflow issue so far! thank you!!

Saw this in a thread Re-Scale UI which I think might help:

In the video tab in options, type in your monitor width into where it says "Maximum interface width" and then hit ENTER.

But then again it might not.

Hold down ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel.

Oh the thread posted an hour ago? Yeah you have to set the game resolution to the desktop resolution. Then stretch out the UI so it fits properly. The first part was missing.

4K screens are pretty darn common, especially if you use your computer to work not just play games

@ Sarcastro, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i was getting so annoyed that the values kept going back to default. Had no idea you had to press enter for it to actually work XD

Hello,
Im on linux with leftwm window manager and for me it doesnt detect the correct resolution on my screen so only 2/3 of it is used and the rest is black.

the resolution of my screen is 1440p wich is what is causing this issue.
If you just add the resolution this issue will be fixed. please do so for next patch.

Much love from dude who told u to contact a publisher.
