In 1920x1080 GUI is too small and max zoom not max

[SGvagon]

Hello,

Is it possible to make GUI bigger and zoom larger in 1920x1080 DDraw Compat 0.5.4 ?
For ex. edit some settings in Shift + F11 menu?

Thank you in advance.

Because DDraw Compat not working in fullscreen on Windows 10 and 7 , only with -w launch parameter. I like 720p , but the windowed mode is too small on Full HD or bigger monitor.

I have original The Sims 1 with all expansions except Makin' Magic if this helps.

Unfortunately no. I've tried a lot to make this happen but I couldn't.

Do you have GSync monitor with Nvidia graphics card?

Ok thank you for quick reply. So I have to play in 720p , i finally fixed (i think) DDrawCompat Wrapper below.

Only Nvidia GPUs without GSync monitor. On my laptop (Lenovo Y50-70) I have Windows 7 with i5 4210H, Nvidia GTX960M 4 GB and on my PC (W7 and W10 in dual boot) I have i5 6500 Skylake, Nvidia RTX2070 8GB.

I maybe found a fix. On Windows 7 I patched sims.exe with DDrawCompat Wrapper and then replace ddraw.dll 0.3.2 with actual version 0.5.4 . Now fullscreen and windowed mode both works on Windows 7 .

And for Windows 10 I must downgrade ddraw.dll to version 0.3.2 . With newer versions DDrawCompat works only in windowed mode, in fullscreen game crashing on loading/splash screen, but it maybe issue that I am not using Complete Collection?

I uploaded it to this thread if this helps #125 (comment) .

So, the patcher did opposite thing. W7 works with the actual ddraw.dll 0.5.4 version and W10 works with older 0.3.2 version.

This "fix" worked on both devices, laptop and PC too.

Can anyone confirm this "issue" and my "fix" ?

For me W10 works with 0.5.4
