FIX for the resolution issue here!
If your game looks blurry and low-res no matter what resolution you choose in the options (have to go back two menus to find the "apply" prompt), do the following as a great person called ajg202120 mentions in my previous thread ( http://steamcommunity.com/app/498240/discussions/0/360671247404733683/ ):

"Try going into the compatibility settings and disabling the display scaling on high dpi setting on the win 8+ executable."

This worked for me on W10, might work for anybody so give it a shot.

Open steam folder where its installed, Steamapps, Common, find the game folder. Right click the executable and on top Compatibility or something. And then its there at the bottom.

Problem for me is this fix allows you to set the resolution, but the game is still scaling without any filtering

I can't get steady 60fps in 4K but if I choose 1920x1080 in-game the game scales it to 3840x2160 so each pixel becomes 4 pixels for a really pixelated look. What's even worse is if you choose something like 2560x1440, then the scaling factor isn't even so everything becomes super-jaggy. The only way to fix it would be to lower the desktop resolution to the desired one every time I wanted to play the game and let the graphics card to the scaling.

This is garbage programming just like on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. They test it on 1920x1080, see that it's looking fine, then ship the game.

Also Telltale make nice games but they are probably one of the worst and most cult-like developers when it comes to feedback from customers. Any suggestion of improvement or mention of real issues is most likely met with complete silence or that it's working as intended, with added hostility from their fanboys, many of whom are extremely casual/undemanding where even something as basic as proper resolution support would be seen as nitpicking, and everything is swept under the rug.

If you post something with so much as a hint of technical issues with a game on their forum, it's immediately closed and archived, stifling discussion regarding solutions and effectively killing any notion or awareness of problems with their games before it can gain any traction.

Just go to launch options for the game in steam and put "-full -w 1980 -h 1020" there, or whatever your resolution is.
worked with me

If you have WIndows 10 - Right click the game in library > Properties. On top go to the tab called something like Local Files. Then button Browse local files. There should be the game EXE file. Dont have the game downoaded, cannot check exact name.

Right click the game executable > Properties > on top Compatibility. Now at the bottom there is a button like Change Settings for DPI so go there. Now on top tick the first thing you can and then from the only drop-down menu choose something like When I ran the program. Click Ok and Ok and try the game.

If not, try ticking the other tickbox and in dropdown below try Application and OK OK and try again.

If still nothing then I am not sure what else it could be.

Thank you very much for providing the clear instructions. My game still doesn't work though, we'll see if the support team can help

You can try all the options for the window with DPI settings, one of them should work.

Or also in the executable properties and in Compatibility try checking Run as admin along with the DPI setting.

Or last thing try to change the DPI setting of your PC to original 100% if you have more there - guide here but dont do the registry option, instead go down to the other one:

Oh and you have to Log out and log back into your Windows account for this to take effect.
