Is it the same UI as the last several years?

I ask because it never scales right in full screen if you have your system scaling set above 100% and I just don't want to deal with that again this year. Thanks.

We have worked to improve this, so it should look great out of the box.

This was my biggest issue with ootp24, which I bought, but ended up never playing. Had to adjust the laptop's display settings each time I turned the game on.

Thanks, finally LOL. I'll pick it up on steam as soon as it let's me. Keep the streak going. I think I have all of them.

I had the exact opposite problem, everything was so tiny I could not see the screen from my desk. And my screen is 55"
I ended up changing the DPI setting. But things could still be a tiny bit larger, for some items, such as box scores.

When I had this issue (large monitor, very small OOTP screens), I too went to Settings (from the start screen), then the Expert tab. From there, I went to "Use Windows DPI Scaling" and put it at "Always Off" and it went back to the scaling I had in OOTP24.

Thanks for posting this as others will surely have the same issue.

I right clicked on the exe file then under properties changed dpi settings. Can not find it under troubleshooting.

Different tab. Not "Troubleshooting", left of that. The tab is "Expert" - but either way glad you got it working!

Thanks for sharing this. Was having the same issue with everything being too small. Cheers

I opened the game on my PC and the fonts are now smaller, even at max size. This will make it difficult for me to use the game without opening up Magnifier, which will greatly impact my enjoyment of the game

. I am using 1920x1080 resolution and 125% scaling, neither of which I can change easily (i.e., all my other programs work about as well as I can get them to work), so if anyone has any guidance on where to find the settings you've mentioned above I'd appreciate it.

ETA: OK, so doing the thing with DPI above did not help me. All my fonts are about 1/3 smaller than they were in OOTP24 using all the same settings.

I had the exact same issue, see post 6. That worked for me. That change was sufficient too - didn't need to touch the fonts.

Looks like you crossposted with my edit. Sadly it did not work for me.

Even after exiting the game and reopening (so the changes can take effect)?

Yes, that was the case last night. However, this morning after I restarted (thanks, Windows Update!), it seems to be working, so thanks!

It's still a mess. If I set it to full screen, the text is so tiny I can't read it. If I go to expert settings and click the dpi to always off, the text is fine but the screen is shifted to the right and can't see the bottom or the side. Exactly the same as always. Just silly this can't be addressed after all these years.

Had you adjusted anything before you found the post to adjust the DPI. It sounds like your Windows display is at a high % magnification. I tend to run that at 100% or 125% at most. When you go to Windows Screen Display, what is it set to? Also, did you close the game entirely and reopen it so things fully reset?

realkyllin · 03-15-2024, 02:32 PM

My windows scaling is set to 125%. I closed the program and restarted after each change. Full screen doesn't work right unless the windows scaling is set to 100, same as always. In addition, the maximum window setting doesn't work as I would expect it to either. If I set the game to start in a maximized window, the windows info bar (with the square and the x on the upper right) shows the single square, denoting not maximized and I can see parts of my desktop around the sides and bottom of the game screen. If I click the square to maximize the window (where it shows the square offset on top of the other square to denote maximized) it's fine until I exit and restart and have to click the square again (yes I realize this is a first world problem having to click one icon every time I start the game). Is there a launch parameter that would launch the game in a true maximized window? I've tried a couple and nothing seems to work.

interestingly for me the only issue I have with text scaling is on the HOF plaques

I've experienced this for as long as I can remember. I hadn't reported it because, as realkyllin said, first world problems, but it is annoying.
