Map text is extremely tiny on 4K monitor

32 votes

I've been playing Valheim on my laptop, which has a 4K monitor and I can barely read the map text for the markers I put on the map. Increasing the GUI does not increase the map text size. The ability to increase the size of map text would be nice.

Hi David.

I see your your issue.
Shall add it to the list of QoL updates and see if we can do anything about it :)

I play Valheim from a couch with a 60inch TV at 4K, it is near impossible to read the icon or the text. If I zoom in/out, the map gets larger/smaller, but the text stays tiny. Communication can be tricky when you cannot read the markers.

I know you're already considering this but I'd just like to add my voice to requests. I play on a large 4K TV sitting a sensible distance away but whenever I need to find something on the map I have to get up and walk across the room to read the markers. Could we perhaps just be able to move the ui scale up to 200 as a max rather than 115?

I too am having the same problem viewing the text on the map. The icon size isn't a problem, but I can't read any of the text I type in. If the size of the text, when fully zoomed in, could be adjustable that would be great.

Playing this on a 55” 4k tv, all UI elements are reasonably sized except for the map icons and labels, which appear as tiny as in the screenshot above.

Still waiting for this fix. Very much needed for 4K gaming

Is this still a potential update in the works?
It also really affects the HUD; tiny health bar, tiny stamina bar, inventory, etc...

I'm playing on a 43" 4k Gaming monitor and it's rough tbh
