BUG: Increased scaling on windows

[radgeRayden]

Yes, love.exe or the fused one.

How can I do it also with linux? I'm using wayland. Or can I do it through love2d directly?

On wayland the highdpi flag does work (I just tested it), but love does not use wayland by default. You need to force it (at your own risk) with the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland,x11 (note the x11 fallback) environment variable, which you can add to a wrapper script.

PS: note that the AppImage is not compiled with Wayland support at all and will always run under XWayland for the moment.

LÖVE on Linux X11 doesn't take into account desktop scaling at all, whereas on windows if you're not dpi aware (hidpi flag in love.conf) (innacurate, sorry) the system will scale your window by multiplying the window size by the scale factor while stretching the backbuffer. Consider asking for support in the discord server or forums for further help on this.

are you referring to t.window.highdpi?

[radgeRayden]

Correct.

LOVE 11 on Windows is not manifested to support high DPI (because it's not supported), thus the OS will upscale the window resulting in blurry images. You need to either change the application properties to force "Application" scaling or use 100% DPI scaling.

how can I force application scaling?

[MikuAuahDark]

Open LOVE executable properties (not the shortcut) -> Compatibility Tab -> Change High DPI settings -> tick "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and select "Application" for the dropdown.

Ok on everything. You need to restart LOVE (or your game) afterwards though. You also need to tell everyone who have your game about this too.

Thanks but the game is distributed in a zip file so there's no love.exe. Is it possible to do it with the game.exe instead?

[MikuAuahDark]

Yes, love.exe or the fused one.
