I have my UI scaling set to 130 because that fits exactly 4 university classes in the maximum size of it's window, even though it makes the font quite small. I did this in the options file, as I have done so previously before the setting was put in the settings window in game.However, that value of 130 is in the red zone according to the settings, and therefore every single time I launch my game I get asked if I want to reset UI Scaling, with the answer yes marked as recommended. I added a screenshot of it.I understand that an advice is given because of certain calculations, but I would like to ask if it is possible to be made a one time only question! Because if you click 'Keep these settings' it should remember that apparently that is your preference and not ask it again. Thank you very much for considering!

I checked it and that option was indeed still turned on. So I unchecked it, closed the game and launched it again, but that doesn't make the question go away. I think somewhere someone made a calculation of what is too small or too big, and put that question on it. Which I understand, and I think it's good to give people a chance to test something and back out if it isn't looking very good. Once. But not at every launch IMHO.On a sidenote, I would also like very much for that UI setting slider to have a number. Right now the only way for me to set it is by closing the game and editing Options.ini directly, because I am a OCD-ish type of person that would hate to have it slide somewhere to 127.235462. I want it to be exact! It also makes for easier tweaking if you are testing out what UI scale you need for your university sim to be able to overview all 4 classes at once, because that scrollbar annoys me. And now I was able to test it in steps of 5 to see what te smallest number was that made it fit.

Well shoot I was hoping that was the answer.I am totally understanding the exact measures thing. My 'perfect' resolution height width cannot be odd numbers but must be exact.Maybe someone else has a better solution for a more permanent fix. - EQ Avid Sims Player#EQCreationsI do not work for EAAll packs installed and patches are current.PC / Win 10Never used CC or mods.

It was surely worth a try. I think the devs need to look into this case, and if they can and want to, add it to their to do list for a future update.Edit: Apparently it also gets asked every time I go "exit to main menu", not only at the launch of the game. Annoying.

@AlHollandiyah Hello *waves*Under accessibility options in game do you have "Auto Scale with OS" ticked?If you have not done so already try unticking that option.That should make a difference.- EQ Avid Sims Player#EQCreationsI do not work for EAAll packs installed and patches are current.PC / Win 10Never used CC or mods.

Omg im glad im not the only one. But it freezes when when I pick a choice though, like i have to reset the game all the time😭

It is always useful to check which mods are broken and which are not, but it is not relevant in this issue. I have just launched TS4 several times, with a completely empty mod folder and my UI set to 130, and it still keeps asking every single time. So this is a bug or a bad feature in the actual game and not a mod conflict. It would be useful if there was a checkbox for "Don't ask me again".

@AlHollandiyah Do you use OneDrive to sync Documents? And did you check the Game Options suggestion earlier in this thread?

I have never used OneDrive, it is one of the first things I remove from any pc I own, so I am 100% sure the test run was mod free and nothing was put back without my knowledge. As for the options suggested earlier, I am the original poster of this thread and I already responded to those options when they were posted. They didn't change the message coming back every single time.

I play on a laptop with a 14 inch screen and 2560 x 1600 resolution. The game seems to think that a monitor with this resolution is much bigger than 14 inches and makes the UI tiny and hard to read, so I turned up the UI scaling so it’s comfortable for me, but now I constantly get this message. It’s especially frustrating because it doesn’t cause any of the problems the message is warning me about. It didn’t do this when I first started playing on this computer in November 2023, but I don’t remember when it started. I am prone to eye strain; making the game more accessible to me should not make the game more annoying.
