The client is unusable on ultra-high resolution displays

As the title says.
It's borderline playable on WQHD displays (1440p resolution). Unplayable on 4K UHD displays. Both the text and the general 2D UI is way too tiny.

And I thought it is bad on my 1360x768 wide-screen... Honestly, picas do exist for a reason. And the reason is if you use pixels instead you get this ;)

Can you at least try to give us some customization of font size in Amber, if using picas is too hard to code? Please?
Wastelands. Ruins everywhere from proud civilizations, with today's survivors scavenging whatever they can carry even if they can't even use it. Eating rats cooked alive is OK for everyone. Walking around naked is natural, since very few have time to waste in getting a rag to cover their deep wounds. And the game is only Alpha.

There is already a font size customization in that custom client, but unfortunately it doesn't work well just by itself. The whole UI needs to be scaled appropriately to the resolution for everything to look decent.

I have a solution for this particular issue (which most likely I'll release eventually if it doesn't get fixed officially), but tbh I am way too exhausted from fixing things for a commercial organization again and again and would prefer if it was fixed by Jorbtar and not me mostly because I would need to spend additional time on making it usable by the general public.

Yeah even on 1080p is not very pleasant .... I mean if you know the game and know how everything works it's fine, but if you are a new player and need to read/look for stuff it's a bit frustrating even on 1080p.
We know they are working on the rendering rewrite ... idk if that has anything to do with the interface, but I hope they are taking this in mind also.

Mayhaps, but much too big of a deal to be a simple bug.

Sweet.
Not relevant to me anymore as far as I am concerned.

This issue isn't rocket science, hasn't been since there is hardware accelerated graphics.
You two (seatribe) should be able to hack this together in a week, tops.

Yeah you should fix it.
People that can afford 4k displays can afford gold subscriptions! And if the client looks bad, they wont play!!!
