so it seems - no idea why the default setting is so high (64 would translate into 40 960*30 720, and even the craziest monitor configuration I know of is "only" 11 520*4 320). still, it should be the first value the user should try, as it should result in an optimally scaled hud in most cases.

My guess would be that 64 is the maximum value and it's set at the highest to ensure that it's always scaled to the biggest possible for the current resolution.

Author probably pick that value by hand choosing somewhere between good measure and ridiculous.

No, he picked "ridiculous", full stop. No doubt deliberately.

Since we are putting that much thought to it, probably more than the author himself:

I think there is no actual technical limitation (like this 64) how many times UI can be enlarged, but that variable by definition takes integer values, so it couldn't be set to something like "bestfit" or "infinity", and some value had to be chosen. Setting it to 65535 would puzzle as too much, as 64 gave us enough of the riddle.
