Tiny window pop top-left corner impossible to play at Worms W.M.D

[Dany Vaise]

Dears,
When I launch the game it opens in a tiny window located at the top-left corner of my screen, the mouse cursor is locked in the app and even alt+enter it's impossible to set the windows to full screen.
So I can't play to this game.
Dev Team : Could you please take in charge this bug ?

Game runs in a small window top left corner

The game runs perfectly (i can hear the sounds of it starting and the sfx of me browsing the menus) however it does so in a super small window on the top left corner of my screen where it's impossible for me to see anything. What could be causing it?

Full screen mode does not work

I have a laptop with 4K resolution. By default the game wants to use the native 4K resolution but the graphics card cannot handle it. I would like to reduce the resolution to Full HD (1920x1080@60fps) but the full screen mode does not work. The game renders on the top left corner of the screen and the desktop fills the remaining space. No matter if I turn full screen mode on or off, the result is the same.

I disabled Windows DPI scaling for the app and now it seems to work fine. Still I cannot understand why the game changes the whole computer resolution, not only the size of the game window.. If I change resolution in the game options, it should only change the size of the area where the game is rendered, and if full screen is turned on, the game scales the rendered image for the whole screen. This is how resolution changing is supposed to work in games. Changing game resolution should NEVER have any impact on the whole computer resolution.

Game starts in a tiny window..

On mac OSX, when I first started the game, everything seemed ok.
I tried to put it in fullsreen with success. Then I tried to put it on a TV via HDMI, it crashed.

Next time I launched the game full screen or resize of the window was not possible anymore...
Next time, window went smaller than previous time.
Next time, window went smaller ....then smaller... then smaller
then not even 100x100px.... and stuck at this size

Tried to reinstall the game, tried to delete content of ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.Team17.WMD.savedState/

Still stuck with my mini worms WMD

Please help !

I have it when i set the resolution of the game smaller than my standard resolution of Windows, if i Set the resolution the same as Windows it is fine.

Disable Windows DPI scaling for the app and you should be fine.

What's your Windows resolution, and are you on 4K? That'll usually be the issue.

Thanks, now i can play the game in 1080 instead of 4k :)

Thanks for your quick response. However I don't know how to change the resolution and after some tests the game starts again in tiny window.
My resolution 1920x1080.

Go to your library, right-mouse click on Worms W.M.D.
Go to Properties, Local Files, Search in local files
Right-click on Worms W.M.D.exe, Properties
Go to Compatibility and check the DPI-setting and click ok

Then try again
