Nasty scaling issue in 4k monitor

[Kyle2k10]

New to the site and with a tremendous problem.

- Installed OpenRA to play Dune 2000, installed the extra files from my (old) original CD.
- The game opened correctly, but the resolution was not native to my monitor (4k, 3840x2160).
- After editing the settings for this resolution, the game presented a huge scale problem, where a small section of the opening screen map, enormously enlarged, was shown (occupying the entire screen) and the game menu was no longer visible (apparently "off" the screen). I can't click on anything and the keyboard doesn't work.
- Tried the compatibility mode, to no avail. And I can't find any INI or CONFIG files in the game folder to edit and correct this problem.
- Uninstalling and reinstalling OpenRA in another location also didn't work: the problem remains every time I launch the program.

Need help, thanks in advance.

Our "settings.yaml" configuration file is in the "OpenRA" folder in AppData ("%APPDATA%\OpenRA\"). I'd just try deleting the file and then the game will start up with the default configuration.

OpenRA does use the native resolution of your monitor, but note that the window size option in the settings menu may not work the way you are thinking. The width and height are in scaled coordinates, so that e.g. a 1920x1080 sized window will have the same size on a 1080p or 4k monitor, but with everything being twice as crisp on the 4k (otherwise the window would become half sized and become unusably small).

This is how it should work, the map size and other things do not scale in %, they keep being of the same size. I am not sure if there is a setting in the game which makes it to scale with the screen size, but if there is one, you should turn it on. I was playing it on one of the best 4k monitor, and the map still wasn't changing, but it was comfortable for me at size, though, so I didn't really care about it until I saw your problem. The problem should be in the setting, I am almost sure.
