Tiny OOTP 26 screen on Hi Res monitors (How to fix)

If you open OOTP 25 and everything is so small you can't read it on 4k and 8k (1400 and 2160 resolutions) there is a very simple fix built into OOTP.

Click on settings either on the OOTP main page or if you are in a game and click on file. Click on Expert and down where it says "Use windows DPI scaling" turn that to Always Off and then close the game and reopen it and your font and scaling will look like it did in OOTP 24.

Thanks! Was using maximum font size to get what I can now get with normal size setting. This gives me another magnifier level (though only one, there's no difference between increased and maximum).

When I turn the DPI scaling off, the text size is perfect but the screen is too zoomed in and doesn't fit

Any suggestions? I'm not very savvy with understanding resolutions etc so I'm unsure what to change.

When I have tried to adjust font size (as it's tiny) it doesn't seem to adjust anything.

I think when you make a change you need to close the game and reopen it to see an impact. Also, in your Windows Settings (System>Display) what is the Scale percentage. I play with the DPI scaling always off, no font adjustments and my Windows setting at 125% and it looks good.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I've exited the game and when I reopen with DPI always off, the text is fine but the rest of the interface is zoomed in and doesn't fit on my screen!

What was the out-of-game Windows setting at?
