Skill Checks on 4K are absurdly small

As per the title, you'd expect the skill check to be scaled 'bigger' as appropriate (i.e. to take up the same proportional screen area) but it seems the size remains consistent so it actually appears at around 1/4 of the size as when playing at 1080p, which makes it much harder to manager - especially when playing against the Doctor when the skill check moves all over the screen.

That's been a thing for ages. Surprised they haven't looked into sorting that out. I think most folk just play at a lower resolution for the moment (though if we could pick resolution in the game, that'd help too)
TBH, I didn't actually go far enough in my post.
Everything is very small in 4k... the blood-web, the chat box, skill checks, the perks (which makes it more difficult to see when they light up, etc).
But weirdly the only thing that has scaled properly is the offerings when they're burnt just before the match starts... very nice and big.
I just got a 4k monitor and love the way the game looks but the small skill checks are terrible. Sooooo how do I change the resolution in game back to 1080 if devs are not going to fix the problem?
I use a Powershell script to change my resolution to 1080p before launching DBD. Then I use another to set it back to 4K afterwards.
Text Scaling looks like it would work, but it causes mouse input issues. My post history has a bunch of posts about this topic. (I'm on mobile, I'll probably edit this post later with links)
Ok thank you

This is the defect I submitted under the new bug reporting system. If you can upvote and comment, hopefully it will add visibility to the issue:
Nice idea, guide for how to set this up please?
I think you can do it with nvidia DSR as well.
Changing to 1080p (w/ 100% text scaling): https://pastebin.com/maxGZap9
Changing to 4K (w/ 175% text scaling): https://pastebin.com/65LBLRN2
The key part you have to change at the bottom of both scripts is:
cd 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop\PerMonitorSettings\SAM0E00...34303'Look in your registry to see what ID # your monitor is.
If you want to use different text scaling, set it manually and then check the registry value and change the DpiValue property to the appropriate number.
