GUI scaling

[Groen28]

Hello there,

Just wondering if Hearts of Iron 4 will have an option to change the UI/font scaling in game for folks playing at 1440p monitor or higher?

Hearts of iron 3 UI and fonts were rather small and difficult on the eyes especially during long play session, and I understand that it wasn't implemented at the time because 1440p or 4k resolution were very rare or non existent but 1440p resolution is a very common resolution now and would love to see the UI scaling option available in the soon to be available Paradox games like Hearts of iron 4.

Maybe? If not -> mods?

Well, in HoI III's defense. It wasnt even 16:9 but rather 4:3 if i recall correctly. Back then 1080p 16:9 monitors werent really that common as far as i know. As for HoI IV it will probably be similar to EUIV and Stellaris, so probably not without mods. For Stellaris you can change the UI Scale in a settings file tho.

It has been confirmed by Podcat that there will be no UI scaling in HOI IV.

Yeah I messed around with it, it kinda worked but I would still get some visual bugs here and there, for example the ship icons are missing while customizing my ships. I was just hoping that I would not have to switch back to 1080p for this game, it just doesn't look as sharp on my 1440p monitor, just a minor nitpick.

Well, that's unfortunate, thanks for the heads up.
