CDBlue Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hey guys, I just updated to the final/release version of LB/BB on my main retrogamer machine, which I have connected to a big screen TV. In order to read things properly I have windows scaling set to 150%. On that machine, when I launch LB I get an odd mix of font sizes. Some are regular (150%) and some are not (100%), making some really hard to read from a distance. The only way I found to correct this was to to bypass scaling in the comparability tab in LB (right-click / properties in Windows) options. Problem is, my Windows also just updated to the 1903 release of Windows 10 that same day, and I hadn't launched LB/BB after that was done either... so I don't know if the issue is with LB/BB and scaling, or if 1903 changed something on my machine. Anyway, I thought I'd report it in case others are seeing the same thing, and it might be something that needs to be addressed. Here are some screenshots to show what I mean: Above image (some text is large, some are tiny) Above image - Change settings to change high dpi settings Above image - All fonts/text back to same size again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also on 1903 but from a earlier insider build. Are you at 1080p with scaling or another resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBlue Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 hmm I'm at 1080p with 125% magnification. I tried my other PC that I also have updated to the latest 1903 that came out a couple of days ago, and LB is doing the same thing on there if I set the scale/magnification in Windows to 125%. That one is connected to a monitor, so I normally just leave it at 100% (recommended) and it has no issues there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that Windows has issues if you change the DPI and don't reboot, or at least log out. So that may be the reason; you may just need to reboot. Other than that, the only other issues I'm aware of are related to dual-monitor setups with different DPIs on each monitor; Windows still has issues dealing with that, so that's not really a recommended scenario. Beyond that, idk, maybe it could be a driver issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBlue Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I did reboot after playing with the scaling, etc. It's not a big issue I guess, with the work around of checking those boxes in the compatibility tab it all looks fine. I just wasn't sure if it was a bug introduced in 9.8, or Windows 10 1903 update, or like you said maybe it's a drive issue that's appeared as a result of the 1903 update process. I might try to uninstall and re-install my nVidia drivers and see if that changes anything. It's unfortunate (for me I guess if no one else is having similar issues) as both LB/BB and Windows updated the same day, so I don't know who the culprit is for sure Edited May 23, 2019 by CDBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBlue Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Ok, found the issue. It was Windows update process messing up the nVidia drivers. I downloaded the latest version (same ones I had already) and just did a clean install and all is good again. So, if anyone else has this issue, first thing to try is to re-download and do a clean re-install of your video card drivers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
