Screen resolution problem / Screen too big (FIX)

I'm posting this because I encountered an issue with the screen size while trying to play the game on my Windows 10 + Samsung Smart TV as monitor. Whenever I tried to open the game, the size of the window was too big, and exceeded my desktop's resolution. If I picked from within the game the "full screen" option, the game's graphics simply became gigantic, thus making it impossible for me to even play. I must admit I was a bit frustrated with the problem; however, I've found a way of solving the it. I'm going to share it here, in case anyone else needs it!

-First of all, you'll need to go to the game's executable options. To access them, go from within your steam library to the game's title, right click on it, and pick "properties".

-Then, go to the "local files" tab, and click on "open local files..." (that's the very first option the tab offers). This will open the folder where the game is installed.

-Right-click on the "BlackCloset.exe" file you'll find in the folder, and choose "properties".

-Go to the "Compatibility" tab, and under the "Settings" section, select "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

-Click "OK", close the folder and go back to steam.

Run the game, and it should work! No more scaling issues :D

I hope you find this useful. I believe it works with all "Renpy" games such as "Loreen: the Amazon princess", "Eileen" and so on.

Thank you! I was actually able to use this exact fix for Grapple Dog, a completely different game. Maybe they were made in the same engine or something and this can work for other games too. In any event, have a golden unicorn!
