• Changing game resolution with locked window size?
    4 replies, posted
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody knew how to raise or lower the resolution of Garry’s Mod without changing the actual window size. I ask this because on Windows on my 2016 MacBook Pro everything is simply too small to read without leaning in and squinting due to the high screen resolution. What would be ideal for me would be to run with something like a 1280x800 resolution with a 1920x1200 sized window so that all the UI stuff in game is bigger and readable and the physical window Garry’s Mod is running in isn’t rediculously small. Sorry if this is a very specific problem but it makes developing on my laptop very difficult. Thanks.
You can use (Win) + (+) to scale up your entire view, but I don't think there are any in-game settings that can do what you want.
That's a pretty ghetto way to do it but should work for now. I'll make a request for this to be fixed but we all know how those go... In case anyone is wondering, I did try the -w and -h startup parameters but they don't help.
Let me go ahead and plug my feature request here.
