This should help you out:

Basically gotta regedit keys 001, 002, 003, and 004. If you are using something like Windower, you can make changes right in the launcher.

You can set the resolution as mentioned but there aren't 4K textures as far as I can tell.

Note that registry values are overwritten by the windower launcher. you need to edit the launcher for settings to take effect.

If you use a hardware mouse, you will have issues running at 4k. Only controllers or keyboard only configs work with that resolution.

Thanks guys, found the regedit thingy after a while again

I tried official windows mode ... damn it SE, its so long ago and that still looks like poop. Windower worked after regedit without any hitches though...

The most "annoying" part .. while the resolution is to 4k now ..... the GUI is super tiny and I cant find the RIGHT setting to change that D:

If you are using windower, once again, there is a UI scale setting.

This is what I was describing. The overlay (text/info) will always scale based on the resolution you set in windower. Hardware mouse does not scale correctly if you change the overlay/zoom settings in windower. There is a workaround that may still be relevant in the following link. If you do not use the in game mouse, change your UI to 2x in windower to fix the problem.
