Outoflives (talk | contribs) (→Video: Windowed mode scaling does not stop at 3.5x unless the display has less than 1136 pixels in height. On my 1920x1200 display, I have a 4x option. If I use gamescope to spoof a 3840x2400 display then the scaling options go up to 8x.) |

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (360740) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ 1x scaling is 380x284. The highest scaling option depends on the available screen resolution, e.g., at 1920x1080 the scaling goes up to 3.5x (1330x994) but at 1920x1200 it goes up to 4x (1520x1136).
