TEXT/FONT problem on 1080p : these games are gonna blind me someday

I would love if someone suggest me a ironman-friendly mod for both Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II that fixes this issue and is compatible with recent patches.

My sore eyes will be forever in debt. Thank you

You have access to the User Mods forum of both games. Have you looked there?

I guess I'll just do it for him.

I suppose this is what you are after?
Better UI Mod (EU4)
Better Font Mod (EU4)
Bigger Tooltip Font (EU4)
CKII UI Font Mod (CK2)

Compatibilities may vary.

Would love this mod but apparently you have to earn your right to use the mod forums through trial by combat or something?

EDIT: Oh haha. I just had to register my games on here. Yay.

LMAO :rofl: that was the way it used to work in the Paradox forums; that's how I got each of the mods I use (and I had to constantly fight off Valve's steam fleet (steampunk airships) to access the mods, especially after they stop working)

30" in 1440p too.

Its annoying to change resolutions, I prefer to play in native, much faster to multitask out and it doesnt screw my three monitor setup and my desktop icons the way playing at a lower res does. So I got used to it, but yes, Id like a scalable UI that thinks about high resolutions too.

Actually there's an increasing amount of regular laptops and PC displays with QHD or 4k resolution.

Nope, using a PC which began life as an Alienware and has slowly transformed into something quite custom over time. My monitor is a 27" ASUS. Unit models look incredible, as do the more recent graphics from PI games, but the CK2 UI in particular is horrifically small.
