Description:

Scales EU4 ui for high resolution monitors. Users with 1440p/2160p monitors will have a scaled ui that looks exactly like 1080p respectively. No more blurry font due to downscaling resolution. Play at your native resolution!

Note: One negative of mod is no achievements. Achievements can be reenabled by moving the map directory out of the mod directory structure. Of course doing so will break the minimap.

Note: If you have the mod already please delete the old scale_ui directory, or rename it. Prior to deleting make sure that to note down any custom directory settings.

Requirements:
– Windows, Linux
– Install gimp 2 (https://www.gimp.org/downloads/)
– For gimp older than 2.10.10, Install gimp-dds plugin ( https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/downloads )
– Under 1.0 gigs of space is needed for the mod.

1) Insure software requirements are installed on your system.
2) Find the mod in the C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2368501095412287 directory. Copy 1095412287 directory into Europa Universalis IV mod directory. Usually, found in "C:Usersyour_usernameDocumentsParadox InteractiveEuropa Universalis IVmod".
3) Double-click on "install_scale_ui_mod.bat" (On linux run "python install_scale_ui_mod.py"). Follow the instructions, and provide information as needed by the installer.

1440 – A 1080p look for 1440p native users, support via interface patches
2160 – A 1080p look for 2160p native users, support via interface patches

4) Wait for execution to finish (10-20 mintues). The window should close on it own when done. Check debug.log found in the scale_ui directory.
5) If EU4 launcher is open please close and reopen in order to update mod list. Please select scale_ui_XXXXp where XXXX should be the resolution height selected during install. Note: That "scale_ui" should not be enabled at all.
6) Play game at your native resolutions.

Enjoy!
