Setting r_scale to 2 on a 4K display crashes the game and prevents restarting it until profile's etconfig.cfg is edited

[Calinou]

Setting r_scale to 2 on a 4K display then using vid_restart crashes the game and prevents restarting it until config.cfg is manually edited.

At a first glance, it looks like the game can't cope with a 7680x4320 (8K) viewport being created, although this works fine in many other games for me. (This can be tested using the DSR feature in the NVIDIA Control Panel, or using 200% resolution scale factor in another game that supports it.)

If supporting a 8K viewport isn't possible, I suggest clamping the size to the highest supported value. From my testing, this is around 6K (r_scale 1.5 with a 4K native resolution works).
