Resizing The Game


Recommended Posts

<p>I seem to remember having the same problem when I switched to my new PC, and it was due to the DPI settings.

I seem to remember having the same problem when I switched to my new PC, and it was due to the DPI settings. Windows 7 is set to 120 DPI (125%) by default, and the game needs it to be set to 96 DPI (100%).

 

This is from the FAQ thread in the Tech Support forum:

 

 

If you're using W7 (or W8, I assume), you just go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display and choose 'Smaller - 100%' instead of 'Medium - 125%'. Hopefully that will fix it.
