Client ~25% smaller than it should be

[zxcv4321]

 

Recently my processor/motherboard of my PC broke down and attempting to play roat on my laptop resulted in the above, doesn't happen with any other RSPS and obviously as you can see it doesn't happen with RS, it's the roatpkz client that is fucked up.  Never happened on my PC, if anyone has any ideas to help me shed some light on this it would be helpful.

I already looked through previous threads about this exact same issue but I disagree that there "is no way to fix it".  There has to be a reason it only affects a small amount of people, if it was a client issue then everyone would have s smaller roatpkz client than rs client, which isn't true.

I already tried using the zoom function as well as adjusting my resolution.  Although those two methods are technically solutions, they stretch the pixels making the client take up more than half my screen, still smaller than the RS client and virtually unplayable.

And don't just @ the developers and owner and say "make a re-sizeable client", as far as I've seen roatpkz updates are few and far between, waiting 6 months for a re-sizeable client is ridiculous (also I don't think re-sizable clients are even possible, but I don't know much about programming just a few classes I took in school).

If anyone else is having this problem please give me your computer/laptop specs, if there's a similarity in GPUs it might be a hardware issue.

It's always been smaller.

My Roat Pkz client is as big as my Runescape client.

Sorry my computer is Swedish, but I translated in the picture below.

Choose different options until you find one that you like/fits your computer screen & is best for your client!

 

Hope I helped. Goodluck!

^^ Nice try, but that's not the issue he is facing. Actually it is the first time someone put it this plainly, the client is smaller than RS. I've just measured up on my machine and both RPkz and OSRS client are identical size, lining up perfectly (with OS theme on RPkz).

Changing resolution will have a universal effect, there's something else causing this. Have you tried the .exe client? At least that will have the option to run with compatibility mode or scaling disabled if that does anything.

You're right, it may have always been slightly smaller, but as far as I can tell it hasn't always been THIS small. This is at the point where I have to actually squint to see the screen.

I have tried the .exe file and it hasn't changed anything.  Had Jake and a few other people directly send me their clients over Skype and still had the same issue. I'm more confused by what's causing this than upset. I always notices the RS client was slightly bigger on my PC compared to the roat client, but this is another level.

I believe what you're doing is simply changing the screen resolution, which I tried already. It does technically fix it but it also stretches the pixel size of my entire desktop which is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for an individual fix for the isolated problem of the roat pkz client being much smaller than any other client I try opening.

i appreciate your help though.
