[How-to] Fix incorrect screen scaling aka extremely zoomed in game

[fordlord]

Hello! Quick guide here for those that are in the same boat as me and don't have Windows set to standard 100% screen scaling. I game on a 60" 4kTV and have my Windows scaler setting at 250% so I can game on the couch from afar but still see all text correctly.

Upon launching this game, I found that it 'fights' the 250% scaling. I was greeted with an extremely zoomed in game that I could not do anything with. In other words, the game itself was zoomed in by 250% just like Windows.

The fix for this is simple. Just navigate to steamapps\common\Motor Town\MotorTown\Binaries\Win64, which is where you will find "MotorTown-Win64-Shipping.exe"

Right click the .exe, select properties. In the window that opens up, navigate to the 'compatibility' tab. Near the bottom, you will see a button labeled 'change high DPI settings. Click it. On the next screen, check the box beside 'override high DPI scaling behavior' and select the box to have the scaling performed by the application.

This will override whatever scaling Windows is set to perform, allowing the game itself to simply run at 100% scaling without needing to change your Windows scaling.

Hope this helps! This also works for some other games that appear zoomed in as well.

In my case the game has been loading "small" even though the resolution and screen aspect would correctly display Borderless Full 3440x1440 every time I ran the game. I would have to toggle fullscreen -> borderless full every time I loaded to get it to properly fill the screen.

This fixed it.

Just found this thread after having the same issue as Zax. Worked perfectly. Thanks fordlord.

I just hit the Windows key twice (the one that pulls up the Start menu) after launching the game and it fixes it.

YOU... ARE... AN...ABSOLUTELY.... AWESOME... JEDI LEVEL....HERO! Thank you friend, I had the opposite problem where the game always started in teeeny-tiny window, but the fix was the same solution! I'm going to add a link from my thread to yours so I can spread your advice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
