Go to your Steam folder (Steam>steamapps>common>Seven Kingdoms 2 HD)

Right click on your 7K2.exe file, select Properties. Under the Compatability tab, Run the program in compatibility mode for previous versions (Win 8,7 XP, etc), tick the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", and "Run this program as an administrator".

It should help.

Cheers for the info, I got a refund but I will buy it again when I can be arsed with messing about. Was one of my favourite games ( prob have it on disk anyway)

Actually this fixed the issue entirely for me as I was having the screen scaling bug and mouse cursor issue as well..

-Edit:

I took the time to check and the results are its the High DPI Scaling from windows doing this, disabling it in the compatability tab for the games exe fixed the mouse and scaling issue on its own.

For the record I am on Windows 10 64bit with latest amd gpu drivers r9 390

This issue may also be related to the screen scaling problems that game has as it was seemingly ignoring any resolution you set on the main menu.

---- Update ----
Windows 10 updates have changed the compatability settings page a little.
Its now the "override high DPI scaling behavior"
Set that to "Application" in the drop down.

i dont seem to have the compality tab ?

[Daya.Mar.Sana]

What Windows install are you running Tayto?
That is a known problem for some windows users.
With enough digging you can find out a way to re-enable it..

I did a little poking around on google and found this.

You can try it if you feel like it, it may or may not work.

Ok i need help also. Same problem with the mouse running bottom page. Thing is when i go to change high DPI scaling, i get the option to override dpi scaling. That fixes the mouse problem, but then the right side menu and letters are too small, i can barely see them. i played around with the settings back and forth but it just won't work. Help? Windows 10 64 bit, 1920x1080 display.

[Daya.Mar.Sana]

I've looked at the options here and even setup with and without compat options here on my own windows 10 64 bit.. 1920x1080 display
I was unable to get the issue(s) actually.
The text issue you are having seems like that might be something other then the game.

I know in the past that windows had to let this game title use its own high dpi scaling or it would break. It just seems that now, it is not necessary for me? hmmm..

For any Devs reading this or anyone with tech experience wanting to know what I got running here..

I cant run the game, the screen starts but also after seeing nothing it closes. I really want to play the game for so loooong :(

[FangDeLust]

I also did everhing above, but nothing

[Daya.Mar.Sana]

so I get to ask now if you installed direct x and your video drivers then.

[FangDeLust]

yes I have DirectX12 and the cc distributable 2005-2019,
I also have linux on dual boot, i have 7kAA installed there and maybe I did a little disorder there, but now im installing 7k2hd in windows10, actually I'm in contact with enlight support. Ill let you know if I manage to launch this

[Daya.Mar.Sana]

yeah.. I'd still ask you to just make sure you got this installed though

direct x runtime
Some reason installs will miss some of the files necessary in direct x, atleast historically speak in my experience. It never hurts to check with that. But I hear you, good luck.

Hello! I had the same issue, changed compatibility and so on. But then still had the same problem, so changed to windowed mode, and I can't click on anything. Is there any way to change again to the complete view? And is there any other way to solve the issue of permanent scrolling? (I have donwloaded direct x) will install it soon

[Daya.Mar.Sana]

Yeah its not always compatibility setting for which windows version.
I know from experience that it 'can' be though.

The scrolling issue is from the high dpi scaling what windows tries to do.
You have to basically set it to application controlled.
I've explained this a few times on this particular forums.
Quick recap, that setting should be in the advanced section in the compatibility tab.

And just remove the -w on the steam launch options to not do windowed.
They "say" that -f is full screen but I never can get that to actually do that.

Well I did try everything but without succes as well. If i scroll the mouse slowly it won't respond but if I move quickly it is working fine. Strange thing is it worked for me a few days ago and now its broken.
