Origin 4k Scaling

[chondranon]

Hello. I am having isues scalling the origin desktop client for a 4k resolution laptop. Will I have to set my general windows resolution to 1080p to prevent these scaliling issues?

26/02 update:

Current thread about 4K can be found at http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/Origin-4K-Scaling/td-p/5857157

And this build that was previously just for the Beta Client has now been made a required update for the latest release, meaning that everyone should get it automatically when prompted by their Client.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, I will hence mark this thread as solved.

Cheers,

Nils

@chondranon As far as I am aware this is unfortunately currently the desired work around. I am not aware of our current progress for natural 4k display support.

Cheers,

How is it possible that steam, uplay and every other gameclient is able to scale at 4k and the biggest money machine on earth does not want to spend a single dime to fix their client.

Its ridiculous!  have to where glasses to use this stupid app.. 

I hate using Origin and avoid it when ever I can! Steam games no problems, Origin OMG no thanks!

Seriously EA, you HAVE to fix this scaling issue.  Take a look, this is what your client looks like compared to Steam on my 4K 40" Panel:

Steam Vs Origin 4K comparison

Origin is almost unusable in 4K, this is totally unacceptable in 2015.  4K panels are becoming more and more common and I've seen posts on the EA forums going back two years addressing this issue and it seems nothing has been done to solve it.

PLEASE FIX THIS!

"this is totally unacceptable in 2015" 

Soon you will have to rephrase that. Updating to 2016, that is....

Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised to find I could login to Origin today and actually read all the text without squinting 2 inches from my screen.
