Overview
Galactic Civilizations IV runs at ultrawide resolutions, but players report UI text becoming very small and placed in the far corners on ultrawide displays. Stardock acknowledged the issue and offers UI scaling options.

Fixes
No known fix yet.
Ultrawide works but UI text is small and pushed to the far corners; the in-game UI scale option is the only mitigation.
Patch history & verification
Current Steam buildSep 28, 2026
PCGW was rate-limited (not verified). Ultrawide UI complaints from Steam/Stardock forums via search summaries; whether later UI-size updates fully resolved it is unconfirmed. 32:9 set partial conservatively. No Flawless Widescreen module exists (checked fws_repo.xml).
