DPI Scaling Fix/Settings for Windows

Bug Description:

The game starts too big with part of it offscreen making it unplayable and difficult to quit (pressing ALT+FT4 will close the game).

Solution/Fix:

  • Open Steam and click the library link
  • Right click Battle Realms then go to manage and click “browse local files”
  • Locate the file named *Battle_Realms_EF.exe*
  • Right click on “Battle_Realms_EF” in the window that opens and choose properties
  • Click on Compatibility tab and choose “Change High DPI settings” at the bottom of the prompt
  • Lastly enable “Override high DPI scaling behavior” and click OK

Now the game should start properly.

Technical Description:

So what causes this problem? Windows 10 applies automatic scaling for programs based on your monitor size/resolution. Here’s an example from a Windows 10 device that was set to 150% scaling by default. Higher resolution monitors and ultra-wide displays are more likely to have a scaling factor applied in Windows Display Settings. Same thing can happen when you have another monitor plugged in.
