3440x1440 Resolution (UltraWide Monitor)

Please Help.

I have a 3440x1440 Native resolution ultra wide monitor.
The game loads just fine onto the monitor, but the UI elements are impossible to use and/or read. Like to close an element is a pixel sized box to click on.

I tried fixing this with Text/Scaling in display, BUT it blows up the screen off my monitor both onto my additional monitor and off the screen below.
So I have to run the display monitor at 100% Scaling.

I see there are a ton of UI's, but I'm not sure what (if any) of them might help meout with my issue.

Anyone running DAOC on a massive ultrawide monitor that can help me?

I'm doing a 24/ hour stream on twitch for DAOC tonight, and I need to try to get this addressed before 3am tonight. HELP!

There is no UI scaling that I know of. You must set your monitor to 1080p or lower for the best results. I play on a 4k monitor and have to change res to 1080p.

2560 * 1440 works very well here (even in 3 Monitor-Setup). There was another thread that said you need to use a 4:3 or 16:9 ratio with black borders, but cant find it at the moment.

I'm having resolution problems as well. I have a 34" curved monitor . I tried different resolutions but in full screen everything seems 'stretched'. When I switch to Windowed mode I get this very small square window that I can't enlarge.
Will adding a custom UI help fix this?

Thanks for any assistance.

There is, sadly, no direct solution to it [except for reduce the resolution to 1080p]; I do play on 1440p ultra wide (34 inch) myself.
Took a bit getting used to it, but now it's completely fine - so much space on screen.

I'm using Ghost UI linked in the UI-thread: https://forum.playphoenix.online/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=494
When I get home I'll post a screenshot + the UI layout file.

I second this suggestion. I have a 34" 21:9 monitor on 2560 *1080. While some of the boxes are small, it's still legible and the most important bits (Chat logs) can have the font increased.
