Hiyo TFTV Community,
I've recently gotten a 4K monitor (60hz 1ms, ASUS), and it has been working wonderfully. I can get 100+ Fps running tf2 at 4K but there is one problem: The font size and spacing is messed up in every single HUD I've tried so far, including default. I currently use Flamehud, since it is not as noticeable, but does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks :3

Rez has little effect on FPS in TF2 so long as you have a decent GPU. Most people on gaming PCs are CPU limited.

Do you play on full screen or windowed? If full screen, was it the same resolution as your old monitor?

I'm sure the 4k looks nice but 60hz is basically a slideshow

The maximum font height for any fonts in source is 128 pixels, regardless of resolution. Sorry OP, but you're gonna have to switch to a smaller resolution or deal with the tiny fonts.

I'm alright with the tiny fonts but some hud elements are waaaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion. Mainly the ammo-in-clip numbers which are way bigger than they should be. If someone could help me out and tell me which line of code in the hud files control the ammo-in-clip I could look into it myself. Thanks in advance :3

The fonts are out of proportion because their height is clamped *after* they are scaled based on resolution and not before. In other words, say you're a soldier and your ammo display reads 4-20. The HUD is trying to draw the "4" with a font 300 pixels high and the "20" with a font 150 pixels high, then they are both clamped to 128 pixels high.
