UI and/or DPI Scaling Issue

[Interceptor]

I just started using Substance Painter not so long ago. I'm currently using my Laptop since my Desktop PC is broken. I have a small, annoying problem with this. The UI and/or the font is too big to fit on my screen. Basically, I need to rescale the DPI. Does anyone know how to solve this? My Laptop screen is 1080P.

I've been looking for similar threads on forums, but I cant seem to find the help I need, neither on Youtube. Please help, and thanks in advance!

Well, windows does have a rescaling thing (start menu, setting > system > Scale & layout)

Well, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have this problem if I were on Windows. Too bad my Windows desktop is broken and my Laptop is Ubuntu.

Honestly, the developers should help us with this. I was going to get Windows for my Laptop, then fix my Desktop after, but I spent some of the money on this instead.

Oh, the literall display...

[DanBro]

yeah so i would suggest plugging your laptop into an external monitor and test it out by makling that display your main display. As for the fix for the screen dropping resolution to something thats not 16:9 worked for me. but it looks ♥♥♥♥

I was thinking about that, but that would require additional cable/adaptor, and I don't know which monitor of mine would work correctly for that.

Hey man just an update. If you open substance with low resolution you can then bump it back up to 1920*1080 and the Scaling issue will be gone until the next time you open up substance. Its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ workaround but seeing as i have it open alsmot always its not too bad

OH GOD, I just bought a HDMI cable. However, your suggestion works, mate. I was going to order a new Graphics card to run my Desktop, but your suggestion came instead. Thanks, mate!

I hope anyone who needs help with this issue reads this.
