Stuck in upper left corner

[Mckeone]

Surface Pro 3, Intel HD4400; all drivers up to date

Every time I boot the game the screen is stuck in the upper left corner. There is nothing I can do to get it out because, even in windowed mode, I can't access the top bar.

I've tried changing my screen resolution. I've tried fiddling with the fullscreen/windowed options and manually setting transistor's resolution through the launch commands. I can't get it out of the upper left corner unless I set it to the smallest resolution, and then the game is practically unplayable.

It's just transistor too. I tried testing out 9-10 other games from my steam library and none of them have this problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? If not, is it possible to get a refund? I really want to play this game, but I've never had problems like this before and I don't think its me because I'm not having this problem in any other steam game.

You may need to adjust your global scaling settings. I've found that changing DPI scaling on some graphics cards can have some weird results, and this can help. To adjust:

1. Open your Display Control Panel
2. Click to change resolution
3. Click the "Make Text and other items larger or smaller" text
4. Increase/decrease scaling

Depending on your current scaling, increasing may help in this situation.

That didn't work, but I did a little more research. Apparently windows 8.1 simply does not work right with integrated graphics. In addition to whatever this scaling/resolution/screen placement problem is, transistor seems to have the worst memory leak known to man, but only on Win 8.1 and when running on integrated graphics.

I don't know why this happens, but it only seems to happen on some games (Guacamelee) and not others (Papers, Please or Hotline Miami). So I guess this probably something I have to wait for microsoft to fix :*(

hi, having read something about streaming other games on high dpi screens, I thought i would give the solution a go when running this game locally.
It turns out that it worked for me: I went to the steam.exe file, right-clicked/properties/compatibility and selected the disable scaling on high dpi option (it was unticked)
now the steam desktop mode is tiny, but the game runs in full screen.
I hope it helps.
