4k monitors don't play nice

[Sevenless]

Game boots with illegible UI on 4k. If you log in for the first time, the game saves your character and auto-logs into that character skipping options menus entirely. If you happen to know what to click to find the options menu, you can fix the UI with a microscope. If you accidentally max the rendering slider while looking at that menu, the game will instantly crash. And because you can't log out from character select, and because you instantly crash if you go past there, and because there's no options menu at this point, you are pretty boned. We ended up having to direct the person to the website to break their autologin token.

Game should scale UI automatically with monitor sizing on first launch, and there shouldn't be a render option that infinitely suplexes your graphics card.

In case anyone else runs into the problem of over-zooming or turning it too small: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=70035&p=874709&hilit=regedit#p874709

It's a fix that can be done outside of the game.

I wanted to implement UI scaling such that it uses the system setting for scaling by default. Unfortunately I had to disable UI scaling entirely for Java not to bug out in conjunction with JOGL, which also means that it's reporting 100% for the scaling factor. I'm not currently sure how to handle it given that.

Not sure if related to anything but would like to report that one guy reported me earlier that having windows UI scaling on caused weird offset to mouse clicks and disabling UI scaling fixed it. No further info on that though.

holy actual smokes imagine trying to get a newbie (especially not a tech savvy one) to regedit to fix a setting lol

What do you mean? Once we got it fixed he was able to get UI scaling turned on and things to a legible size.

What I mean is that I've had to disable Java's UI scaling support altogether (since it doesn't work in conjuction with JOGL), and that also disables my ability to read the system UI scaling setting from within Java.

That used to be the case before the proper implementation of UI scaling in the client. Are you sure this isn't an old report, related to an outdated client, or to a custom-compiled client that doesn't disable Java's UI scaling (that needs to be done with system properties, rather than from within the code itself)?

Yes, the issue persist on custom client only - other clients works fine with scaling enabled.
