It's almost impossible to play AoE:DE on a 4K TV, due to the size of the in-game GUI/text

My PC's in the living room, connected to a 55" 4K TV. I enjoy couch gaming and even have a lapboard for my wireless keyboard and mouse.

I sit at a reasonable distance from the screen (about 9ft), and in 4K, it's almost impossible to read any of the in-game text or identify any of the elements of the GUI in AoE:DE.

I have no problems with my vision (I don't wear glasses or contacts), and can handle the menus okay. But, as soon as the matches actually start, I basically rely on my memories from 1997 (which isn't exactly easy, considering that was over 20 years ago).

It reminds me of the early years of the Xbox 360, when some games were impossible to play (or at least properly enjoy) due to their text/GUI/HUDs being too small. Only that time, it was because they were designed for HDTVs, and most people were still using CRTs.

I hope that this issue is fixed or that the devs at least give us the option to change the resolution in-game (something that should be a feature regardless of their decision regarding the size of all other elements).
