At the end of the day the only logical thing to do is support the lowest resolution that is likely to be used. Because sizing a UI for 4K and expecting people on 720p to deal with it is ridiculous. People with larger monitors have the ability to play windowed mode, or play at a lower resolution. People with smaller resolutions don’t have any option to scale up.

Speaking of logic...
The problem is this UI was designed for the lowest resolution that was likely to be used 20 years ago. It really needs to be scaled up to support the lowest resolution that would be used today, which will give the 80% of people at a higher resolution than that a UI which is much more usable.

Once again. This UI was pre-packaged and planned to be used anyway. All we did was replace some components with the proper Velious UI components and clean up some bugs.
I completely understand that the scale of the UI is outside the scope of what you were trying to accomplish. And i am not directing my comments at you directly. I am just making statements to describe the problem and possible solutions.
The fact is that project 1999 will suffer because of the forced UI that will feel very "not classic" for most people trying to play at their native resolution due to the fact that it does not scale. If anyone wants to try to fix that, that would be much appreciated by many people
