It is 2016, and 150% is still the highest UI scale option.

200%+ UI scaling would almost surely take very little work and be a huge benefit to those players using high DPI displays.

when i first tried eve ages ago, the interface was too small for my resolution and there was no way to increase it at the time...this is what made me not continue playing.

Looks fine on my neighbor's 4k screen and my 2560x1600 screen.

My neighbor, who's 70 btw, uses 150% scaling. I use 90% on my screen.

I am using a UP2414Q, which is a 23.8" 4K screen, and the 150% scaling is unbearable, even while squinting and leaning towards the monitor. I upgraded the monitor for it to be easier on my eyes, not harder!

I use a 27" monitor at 2560 x 1440 and stick it at 120%, But I would like the option for a bigger font..

If I sit like I normally do it's not really a problem at 120%, but if I try to lean back in my chair I can't make out the text on the screen and the whole thing just becomes a tummy exercise as I lean back and forth trying to read (not a terrible thing.. but still not what I would call enjoyable)

I'm not against having more options as I'm sure I will get more/bigger monitors in the future, and I would absolutely like the option for a larger font.

This is especially troublesome now that Project Discovery is available on TQ. It is hard enough without being able to see it!

I really want 80% scaling. I have 55 PPI.

On a 4K display (3840 x 2160 ), which becomes common in this industry, 150% is way too small. 200% and more is a must for me.

Absolutely agree, need 200% option and text size increase. With a 27" 4K monitor, you need to be sitting WAY too close to see the game comfortably at 150%. Please fix this soon!!

Assuming I remember correctly: CCPs font system breaks if you push scaling above 150%. Godd old case of Legacy code™️ as usual.

I second all points.

The UI-scaling and font size options is pathetic at the moment and needs to be adressed.

If you include a font size option in the chat window, why the hell would you lock font size in pretty much every other window? Makes no sense.

At age 60 plus seeing a computer screen of any size or resolution can be challenging and EvE is no different.
I agree that a higher UI scaling factor would be nice to have, the reality is we may A. never get it ot B. it may take quite a while before we do get it and so in the mean time I would suggest that all of you take a tip from my optometrist and get a pair or computer glasses they really do make a significant difference and they are one of the best computer related buying decision I have ever made.

If you wear prescription lenses talk to your optometrist they should be able to get them made for you at a reasonable cost.

If you do not need prescription lenses or you wear contacts then you can buy them from companies like Gunnar and several others.

Here is a link with some general information on the subject of computers and vision that may be helpful as well since there are many things including lighting (no darker is not always better) in your computer area that can affect your ability to see a screen clearly.

Forgot another and that is adjusting contrast and brightness on your monitor to best suit your needs and the lighting in your computer area.
