my experience: the only working solution is to reduce the resolution and do the upscalel in the monitor, cause whenever you try manually or via tools to scale fonts, symbols and so on in windows...you got a mess... from xp to win 8.1 and i guess with win 10 we will have the same problem.

maybe with new guidelines for programmers and new software...but i would be really really surprised if they alter in any way the behaviour of older windows software. It is possible for a long time, that a software under windows uses the system-settings and do a proper scale of it´s own fonts/icons whatever without leaving windows-borders, overlapping and so on...but they don´t use it....so why should they do it in the future?

Thanks for Skyrim!

Also - silly birds need to change their desktop settings, and switch to 150% or 200% zoom. Some applications don't deal with that well - replace them with alternatives. It's none of Windows' fault, just companies who screwed up and can't fix their apps.

you did not understand me, replace "some" with "80%", 80% of the software has problems with different scaling, some more some less

I've heard Steam mentioned as a good alternative solution to GOG Galaxy, but have yet to try it out, so don't know if it's any good ;-)

:-(

Problems like this are the reason I'd only buy a 4k screen at 32" or bigger... but these are too expensive. With that DPI, everything is still usable without zoom (similar to 2560x1440 on 27" which is what I got now).

Still - Witcher 3 isn't affected, so you might just have to switch to a different resolution while entering your key in GOG Galaxy!

You don't need Galaxy to play The Witcher 3, though. Just download it and done. Or download the installer from gog.com

Check the setting of your graphics card, some allow you to scale the image.

This is why you should make sure you do not get displays with too many pixels.
It looks good on text. But on images and scaling its crap. Totally not worth it unless you dont have any applications that do not play nice with scaling.
