Thank you for the report!

The testing we have done on 4k resolutions is pretty limited, but the last time we went through the UI on 4k, we couldn't spot any major issues that would've made the game unplayable. Have you tried changing the HUD scale and text scale settings, does that help at all? Would it be possible to send us a couple of screenshots of some of the issues you've encountered?

It's not about UI, the issue is with the game itself. Buttons on doors, dropped items are like 1 by 1 mm or less, you need to know that there is something dropped to even see it. UI is mostly ok

Ah, I see! I'd say that's sort of an expected consequence of an extremely large resolution on a pretty small display. I think we could add a zoom setting to make it more playable on this sort of setups though. Sorry for the inconvenience!
