Hello, playing the game again after years of absence.

however, I ran into a bit of an issue... I am playing on Windowed mode so I can record the game for streaming and such and I have a 4k monitor... meaning everything in the UI is insanely microscopic and REALLY hard to see.

I would add a picture, but I don't see an option.

Suffice it to say, investing hundreds of hours with my head a few centimeters off the screen is not exactly my idea of a relaxed time.

Hiya!

Yeah I recently had a similar issue (see here) and found that using the separate monitor was no use at all (turns out it is was 4k...I know nothing about this kind of thing). The laptop itself was still very small icons but possible to use, though I do find myself mis-clicking a lot and buying the wrong things in the bazaar.

When I was trying to work things out and find settings to change it I found other players who had the same issue with higher resolutions too. It would be great if KI could do something about scaling the UI, especially as this will affect increasing numbers of players as our old computers die and need replacing!

It's brilliant that KI make sure Wiz can run on older machines but it needs to be playable on new ones too!
