I have recently got myself a new 1440p gaming monitor, upgrading from the 1360x760 TV I used to play on. It looks amazing on all games, other than Runescape.

Initially I was concerned with how tiny everything was- inventory icons far too small, text too small without having to strain to read it. I have tried increasing the text size (which annoying only increases the public/clan chats, not your own typing box... why?), and also increasing the UI scaling from 100% to 150%.

150% UI scaling makes the game the right size, however any setting which isn't 100% causes all the UI text and numbers to blur, and generally make for an unpleasant and uncomfortable experience. I cannot play like this for more than 20 minutes without getting eye ache.

I have tried a 1680 x 1050 screen, and everything is fine and playable again.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue so that I can play RS on a 1440p monitor? A quick Google suggests people were having this issue years ago, but with no solution.

Surely we can't be going into 2023 and the game is restricted to 1080p monitors?

I also have this same issue. If the blurred icons were not blurred aka they scaled properly, this scaling interface would actually be useful. Thank you for also making it known and the fact that it's 2023 with this known issue for years now is surprising to see. a person with a vision.

im using a 1440p monitor 27inch, i just put text size 12 in runescape and 100% scale and use the layout editor to place everything where i want to, and everyting looks nice.

If you just hook up a new monitor, maybe you have to set your resolution in windows to 2560x1440 if thats not set allready.

greetings,
