[SOLVED] Windows 10 Custom Resolution + Mouse Drift

[Sonichu]

I have played MB2 since B17 with no issues on Windows XP and Windows 7, but I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and MB2 is having problems.

I run my monitor at 1824x1026 (it's a TV, slightly off resolution from 1920x1080). Both on the menu and in games, my mouse is acting like it is at a completely different resolution. I move it and it drifts for a second or two in that direction and I can't stop it. It makes the game unplayable. I have a couple of older games like SWAT 4 and Tie Fighter running in high resolution modes with no issues.

(Steam verion of JKA).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Do you use Windows DPI scaling? I had similar issues on my tablet when I used +150%, setting it to 100% fixed the issue.

Fixed! Wasn't quite the DPI scaling, but it put me on the right track.

I just launched MB2 and noticed the logo was slightly cropped despite the correct resolution so I started poking around in system settings. On the settings/display of Windows 10, there is a slider for the "Change the size of text, apps and other items". It is set to recommended default of 125%. Setting it to 100% fixed it.
Every since I installed Windows 10 I had noticed Steam, Origin and a few other applications were slightly blurry - I figured they were just poorly optimized for Windows 10. Turns out Windows 10 scales everything up by 25% in compatible apps, but not everything is compatible.

Thanks for the help!
