Stuck Zoomed In In Fullscreen Mode
I tried changing my game from fullscreen mode to window mode while i was in the middle of story mode and now the screen is bugging out. The screen zoomed in really close and i can't see the game menu or what's happening on screen.

I tried exiting the game and starting it up again but that didn't fix it. Is there some way I can reset the screen in game so it's not super zoomed in anymore? I really hope the game isn't stuck like this now because I just purchased it and it's unplayable this way.

I can't reproduce this - what resolution did you set it to?

The easiest fix is to just delete %APPDATA%\VampireSmile\config.ini.

How do I find that Config.ini? I'm currently in SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\TheDishwasherVampireSmile

Sorry for not explaining the bug I was experiencing in more detetail.

To sum it all up, If I try to go into window mode for the game, the screen zooms in if resolution is way above my computer'a resolution and I need to delete config.ini to reset the game settings.

If I set my resolution to very low and I try to go into window mode, nothing happens and I'm still in full screen.

Interesting, any idea why the resolutions go that high up? The res list comes straight from the OS; is it a high-DPI display or something?

As an alternative to deleting the config you can also set the display_width and display_height items to what you want and it should work that way as well (and you won't have to go into Settings to get what you need).

For some reason the resolution can go as high as 3840x2160. I'm not sure what causes any of this but the game had the resolution set to this by default for me and in game while playing it caused some graphical errors in training and some parts of the first level of story mode as I played.

Also, the bug that caused the screen to zoom in when trying to go into window mode happens around this resolution too.

Thanks for the tips on how to handle the resolution problems, I'll keep them in mind.

Struggling to find the .ini file. Any chance I could get a specific path to find it? I'm currently in: ProgramFiles(x86)>Steam>steamapps>common>TheDishwasherVampireSmile.

Try %APPDATA%\VampireSmile\

In the next update I'm going to add a call to SetProcessDPIAware for Windows and see if that fixes it. Expect this in the next day or two.

Can I ask something real quick, is there any way to lower the window resolution and keep the game as it is? I mean not having a huge zoom applied that I can't simply see any menus

The easiest way without starting the game is to open up the config.ini found in that directory and set them to a lower resolution that matches your intended aspect ratio. Worst case, you can manually make the file and add this to it:

display=0 display_width=1920 display_height=1080 window_mode=0 vsync=True vibration=True music_volume=10 sound_volume=10 pause_on_lost_focus=False blood=True

No, but what I mean is, I already did both in game and in the config file, in both cases, I get this super zoomed on screen that I can't even mess with menus like in this image

Oh, that's a bit different... I can't think of anything that might mess with the viewport other than maybe DPI scaling on Windows? If setting scale to 100% fixes it (assuming it's different in the first place) I'll try and check this out locally since that should be easy to reproduce here.

yeah, like, setting it to 1366x768, the maximum, no problem, but anything lower it starts changing ever so slightly, but until 1024x768, I can still see the full thing, lower than that, like 800x600, it's just zoomed in and bellow that, 640x480, I can't use the menus at all
