Hello,
I have a MSI GX60 notebook. (windows 8.1).
Current GameGuru version does not support high-DPI displays. So, objects that I add is not at the same place as the actual mouse pointer.
To resolve it i checked on "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" for Guru-MapEditor.exe.
Mouse position come OK, but text inside editor come ugly and unreadable.

Also standalone games hang at start if system has high-DPI display. To fix it i have to checked on "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" for game's exe file.

Please, fix this bug.

How about posting your machine spec, graphics card type and operating system, What setting your graphics card is set to.

Thanks

Hello,
notebook: MSI GX60.
CPU: AMD A10-4600M.
VIDEO: Radeon HD 7660G + Radeon HD 7970m. GameGuru use HD 7660G.
Screen 15.6" @ 1920x1080.
OS: Windows 8.1.

As a programmer I can say that problem is not with my computer.
Its because of new Windows 8.1 feature, so called "DPI auto scaling". GameGuru need to be fixed, to support W8.1 DPI auto scaling feature.
