But to give back to the community (as my mother would say), I want to share my solution with anyone who got a shiny new laptop but can't seem to figure out why even though the display settings on the desktop are normal, you're playing Rues or Papers Please and it looks like they were set to someone who had far vision their whole life... not a pretty comparison.
But to be even more specific, if you play the game on full screen, no problem, the UI, or buttons you press are the predicitable size. Though you might have noticed when you press the two buttons to bring up the steam overlay... it shrunk. dramatically so.
So we're going to skip the part I did, which was;
-check the display settings on the desktop
-check ... any settings on steam
-check your game's settings usually in the graphic section
-remember not to get made at your very expensive hardware after searching online for a solution with no clear answer and potentionally harm it
Until... finally I found something that did do something helpful.
So here is what you are going to do (if you want the madness to stop or not squint your eyes when someone messages you a funny or sadness notes):
Locate "Launcher.exe"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\(gametitle)
Then all you have to do is a little micromanagement.
Right click it
Go down to Properties
Select the Compatibility tab
Now look in the Settings section
tick 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings'
Apply, and everything in the universe is exactly as it should be... reletively.
I hope this is actually useful to someone like me, but that thought terrifies me. Keep in mind I not an expert at the tech savy stuff, just a regular pc user with waaaaay too much time on her hands. And who happens to be feeling Alturistic at the moment.
Keep in mind, if this doesn't work, and someone found out way, I reccomend following up with how you fix it on the forums hell post it here. Make some random person on one side of the hemisphere happy. Besides the one you'r in... you know who I'm talking about.

I found the above on another stream discussion. This will help increasing the text / interface size in-game. I just upgraded to a 65" 4k TV as my monitor. It was horrible trying to read some text in-game. This is a huge help.
If you go into the steam settings and unckeck the setting "Enable DirectWrite for improved font smoothing and kerning" in the "interface" panel, then it helps a bit with the blurriness.
I'm with you on this man - am trying to play Xenoverse 2 and the checkbox seems to get re-checked everytime when the game starts.
Not sure if there's a way to force the launcher from preventing the re-checking.
