1920x1080 zoomed in?

[DoctorDastardly]

I'm playing the game on a 1920x1080 screen, and the game works perfectly on 1280x720, but when I change it to 1080p it zooms the screen in whether I'm trying it on fullscreen or not. It's not the hugest deal since it still runs and it's an old game anyway, but I figured I'd ask what might be causing it.

NVM, it's because I have 150% scaling turned on. It's weird, most games correct themselves, but SW doesn't.

How did you sort out your scaling issue?

I have this issue too. How do you change the scaling? I can't play at all because the screen is zoomed in.

Ok, i'm a bit late at the party but here's the fix for fixing 1920x1080 being "zoomed-in".
- Go to your game executable.
- Compatibility.
- on the bottom : chose the high DPI for this app.
- check : override high DPI scaling behavior scaling performed by Application.

This is on window 10, I don't know for older systems but the idea is prolly the same.

If OP could mark this as a solution that'd be great because this worked for me. Also make sure you set that setting for the actual shadow warrior exe ("SW.exe") and NOT the build.exe

Fantastic!
This was driving me crazy.
You should put this as a guide.

Now if only i could figure out how to zoom the window to full screen on my 4k monitor since its sitting in the middle

This solution didn't work for me....

Try editing you nvidia settings.

Nvidia Control Panel > Adjust desktop size and position

Then in there set Scaling mode to 'Aspect Ratio'
Perform scaling on GPU
Then check 'override the scaling mode set by games and programs'

That is what got it working in this and other games for me.

I gave up, and just stuck raze on, now works a charm, just no achievements or new UI/menu.... Annoying, few years ago it used to work no problem. Why don't they just update it. Thanks anyway.
