Faledan1995 Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I have no clue what's causing this, but I replaced my main monitor after it died with a bigger one, from 1080p to 4k ultrawide. My monitor's resolution is an option on the launch options, my skyrimprefs.ini reflects the resolution being the same as my 1 monitor's size (which is what I chose in the launcher options). However when I launch it it takes up both of my monitors (the 2nd is just another 1080p) I have tried borderless, windowed and full screen and all approaches are the same. If my monitors were the same size I could perhaps get used to it, however since they aren't it's like a sideways T with the upper and lower portions of what would be on my 2nd monitor cut off so I don't even have access to the start menu buttons. It is NOT a mod related issue as I have disabled all mods and it still does this. I'd love to know how to fix this if anyone has experienced this before. Please and thank you.
Faledan1995 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Posted May 6, 2023 Solved: from reddit: right-click SkyrimSE.exe, click Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings. Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior", and, in the drop-down menu, select Application. Apparently skyrim uses your windows scaling.
