Is it possible to increase to 300%? My eyesight sucks

If its a Linux issue, it might have to do with case sensitivity on lua file names. I have moved to using only lowercase letters on any files that replace existing game files, but this mod hasn't been updated since I made the switch.

I'm not sure if this is related to the menu issues other people have described, but running Civ6 in Proton, I saw a significant amount of cursor displacement when changing resolutions at all, even without the UI mod. I had to set a resolution, figure out how to click the OK button before the time ran out and reverted to my previous resolution, then exit the game with Alt-F4 because the menus were unnavigable at that point. After relaunching the game though, the cursor displacement was gone and I could select a UI scaling option and everything worked as expected.

My main issue is that UI scaling doesn't seem to affect the size of the pointer; it's always the same as 100%, which is WAY too small.

@NoxAstrum - This isn't something I've been able to replicate. Breaks the options menu how? Can you elaborate? Any chance of a mod conflict? What OS are you using? GPU?

As already stated, breaks the options menu for me in 4k. Unable to even exit the game at this point.

Lifesaver, worked great on 4k TV as of writing this review.

Thank you SilvertongueRED

For anyone trying to upscale their UI playing at 1080p, this mod won’t work for that BUT, if you change the UI Upscaling setting in the text document AppOptions.txt (located at "C:\Users$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\AppOptions.txt") to “0.400000” or less it’ll work! Any value over that won’t fyi.

Totally breaks the options screen in the game. Literally cannot do anything with this mod active.

does it disable achievements? i hope not

Nice!
I'm on a 57" 4K TV, sitting across the room (about 8 feet away).
Was a nightmare trying to read anything in the UI.

God tier mod right here. After searching for a way to bypass it then not being able to find the AppOptions.txt file to change it. I found this. I probably would have prefered a 300% option but 280% is far better than the previous max 200%.

What a hero.

bigreddawg - I think 300% used to work back when one was able to edit the AppOptions.txt file directly, but then Firaxis changed something in an update that stopped that method from working.

I found an alternative method, editing Options.lua, and eventually fleshed it out into this mod. The game balked at 300%, so I had to dial it back a bit. If I recall, the highest value that I was able to get working was 282% or something, I chose 280% in order to have a nice round number.

It's possible things have changed in the subsequent game updates. You can try playing around with higher values by editing the mod's Options.lua file. Mod ID = 2125459380. Lines 601 and 602 are the entries for the two additional menu options. Each line contains a numerical text string followed by a value for the scale boost.

This is amazing!!!! Is it possible for you to add any higher resolutions? I've got a 5k screen, would love a 300% or higher but when I played around with the code on my own, got locked out of anything above 200% :(

Unfortunate. I have a headless HDMI that's supposed to do 4K but doesn't actually.

The mod only adds extra options to the UI upscaling menu, it doesn't change when that menu becomes available. It's a shame that Firaxis chose to lock out that feature for most monitors. I have my 4k tv as a cloned desktop for my PC. If I want the UI scaling on my desktop monitor, I need the TV to be on so that the game detects the 4k resolution.

Alright, I tested on my 2K Zephyrus S17 (2021) and it isn't working at all unfortunately. I was really hopeful, I needed this to avoid having to use the UI method.

The option doesn't seem to appear in game for me. Res 1920 x 1200.
I often use 2K but am currently using a headless HDMI, I'll see if it works on my main monitor.

Perfect for playing on a TV, thank you!

Thank you. Now I can enjoy my widescreen and actually read stuff

I was worried when I first started it up and couldn't read anything from my couch, haha.
This should save me a lot of trouble, thanks!

This is perfect for poor eyesight on high resolutions!! Thank you so much!

Fantastic! Makes the game playable on ultrawide, thanks!

Ah, that could be it. The mod references "Options.lua". You could try renaming the references in MODINFO and the lua filename and see if it works. If that fixes the problem I can make an update.

Hi Arstahd, the only thing I could find is this :

"Game file names are all lower case on Linux and they are capitalized on Windows. Any mod that replaces a game file (e.g. UI mods), need to be lower cased in the file name and the .MODINFO file that references it. Linux has a case-sensitive file system and Windows doesn't."

https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/5wtyct/civ6_workshop_mods_on_linux/

I'll have a look in that directory and see if there's an illegal filename

Thank you for your help

juan.zenos - Do you have any idea on what may be different while running Linux? You could try manually editing your OPTIONS.LUA file (after making a backup copy somewhere outside your Civ6 folder first). For me its located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Assets\UI\Options.lua

Unfortunately this did not work for me on Linux, the main menu was broken.

Thanks, very useful.

Many many thanks Arstahd

aselnor - You can make this change yourself with a simple text editor. I use Notepad++, it's free and chock full of handy features.

To make your requested option, you'll need to edit a local copy of the mod, a direct download can be found here https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/ars-ui-scaling-options.28358/

Once you copy that to your Civ VI MODS folder, Unsubscribe to this one so you don't have two copies of the same mod in your list.

Now all you have to do is edit OPTIONS.LUA found in the downloaded mods folder. Insert the following between lines 595-596:

{"125%", 0.25},

God this is awesome, but can i kindly ask a 125% option please.
