I know it's a problem higher res users have suffered with from all previous PDS titles. There are a few mods out there to somewhat help with font size but it's still painful. I have not seen anything yet on whether the Stellaris UI has been designed with modern resolutions in mind since it seems like something that if not built from the ground up is impossible to be patched/added later.

So... are we to be liberated from the world of strained eyes and headaches? Does hope remain?

I've not had any issues with ck2's UI in my big as fuck 2560x1440 display, I had some issues with Civ 5 when I first started it up on this res but I just fiddled with some of the setting and it solved it.

I guess it just depends on what resolution your monitor is and what resolution you run it in?

I run 2560x1440 on a 27 inch and EU4 UI unmodded is basically unusable for me.

CK2 is not as bad but I also run a font mod there. Even so font size mods are a somewhat workable bandaid but I'd really love an actual UI designed for these sizes which are so common these days. I've not read anything either way and it's hard to tell from the streams what res they are playing at so I was just wondering if they have said anything about it with Stellaris.

Yeah I haven't seen anything about the stream's settings, I think we have to assume they are running it on just on a 1920x1080 display. I suppose you could ask during stream but you'd probably just get buried in the hellhole that is twitchchat.

Not including scalable ui is increasingly disgraceful in this day and age, especially when paradox is going to want to support this game for many years. If you don't support scalable ui just because you have a regular monitor then don't come to this forum to whine after a few years because this game will be unplayable with your new 4k monitor.
