HOI4 2K UI OVERHAUL [IRONMAN COMPATIBLE]
HOI4 2K UI OVERHAUL
Makes Hearts of Iron IV UI sharp and readable on 2K (1440p) displays. All interface elements are properly scaled — fonts, panels, icons, buttons, sprites — so you don’t have to squint at tiny text anymore.
What this mod does
- 29 bitmap fonts regenerated at higher resolution
- 8500+ sprites upscaled
- 450+ GUI files with adjusted positions and sizes
- Covers all major panels: politics, production, research, diplomacy, trade, focus tree, events, decisions, MIO, operative UI, naval view, doctrine tree, theaters, leader details, and more
- Map icons (unit counters, supply hubs, airbases) enlarged
- Dedicated topbar font for PP, Stability, War Support, Manpower
Language & Font Support
- Currently the mod fully supports Latin-based fonts (English, German, French, Spanish, etc.)
- Other scripts (Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, etc.) are not guaranteed to work correctly at this time
- Broader language support is planned for future updates
Compatibility
- Ironman & achievement compatible — only touches GUI and graphics files
- Supported version: 1.17.*
⚠ Mod Compatibility Warning
- This mod heavily modifies UI layout, fonts, and sprites
- Stable interaction with other mods is not guaranteed — especially mods that alter the interface, fonts, or GUI files
- Using this mod alongside other UI mods is at your own risk
- Gameplay-only mods (focus trees, balance changes, AI tweaks) should generally work fine
Recommended for
- 2560×1440 (2K / 1440p) displays
- 27"+ monitors where vanilla UI feels too small
Known limitations
- Some niche screens may still have minor visual issues — report them in the comments and I’ll fix them
- Not designed for 1080p or 4K — best results at 1440p
