4K interface scaling

[Meufanouns]

Hello there !!

Is there a chance for Rimworld to get proper 4K(3840x2160) interface scaling for 28" monitors ?
Is Tynan working on it or wont happen because of some coding issues ? Anyone know something ?

We desperately need 2x interface scaling. In many other games as well :/
Thanks to whoever know something about it.
Yes for now we play in 1440p and that works but the excitement would so much higher in 4K.

For those who don't know what is this about, just look at: (Interface and texts are way too tiny  )

This has been raised a few times now, Tynan is very aware of this issue, but UI has to take a backseat to content until such time as its necessary to update it, im sure he will address this in some way in the future.

Thanks a lot for your quickness. Do we know if the UI will need an entire rework or not ??

No idea, totally up to Tynan.

From someone who plays on a number of high resolution screens, this is a pretty irritating issue. When this is worked on eventually, please note that 4K @ 28 inches is actually still pretty low DPI compared to many of the screens out there such as 2880x1800@15 inch, 3840x2160@24 inch, 5120x2880@27 inch. Just making things a little bit bigger isn't quite enough. The full 2x scaling is needed. An arbitrary scale factor would be even better.

I pretty much stopped playing Rimworld since i have this new monitor 28" (3840*2160) native resolution.

I don't even need to describe how tiny the interface is with this resoultion it's basically unplayable and how awful graphics are if i play in lower resolutions like 1440p or 1080p it's just not possible...

Do we have any News, Work in progress on 4K scaling please ??

There is some UI scaling in A16, have you tried it yet?

I have a 34" curved 4k monitor at 3440 x 1440 Resolution at work and the UI scaling works for me, there is some slight problems with how the UI sits along the edges, but otherwise it works well.

I've been playing A16 on my Surface Book (3000x2000 13.3", 270DPI), and I've found the A16 scaling to be good enough. I added a fix for the resolution changing on load to Zhentar's Vanilla Fixes, and while I wish the scaled UI text was sharper, it's perfectly playable.

Do you guys have any trouble reading red text on a dark background?
