4K Samsung 150% scaling prob

[blackgold888]

ok, just bought a Samsung 28" UHD, set it up ok finally after setting up my own resolution - 2840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. Screen icons were too small so went into Win7 and scaled up 150%, now icons and gadgets looked bigger and readable.

Tried a few games, Warthunder worked great in a 2560 x 1440 window. Then Tried Rome2 and Civ5 and WTF!! Rome2 is running in a 1920 x 1080 window but it's as large as Warthunder in 2560 x 1440 window, same problem with CIV5. If I increase their window size (games) to 2560 x 1440, they both fill the screen !! ?

Is this a scaling problem ? Win7 scaling game windows and the games within ??

You should stick with the monitor's native resolution and scale the Windows elements like you have already.

Go to the game's .exe files, right click, properties, compatibility and check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". That should fix the problem.

Good! that worked for CIV5 but not Rome2, I'll have to experiment some more.

Thanks
