ED Launcher clipped/blacked out?

[hems303]

Anyone else experiencing this at the moment?
I rebooted, reinstalled all with no change, this is what I now getting all the time:

It's no big deal but with the considerable and increasing number of bugs, errors, crashes and coloured space craft faults; ED is now in somwhat of a 'rocky' place! o7

Same here but it's no loss really, there has been nothing of interest there for a long time

Had that happen yesterday. Don't know what caused it.

Here, too. Looks odd but has no further negative effects as it seems

seems to be a scaling problem. at 4K and 100% scaling, the launcher shows everything. but I use 200%. but it is strange that it worked for years.

Right click on your launcher
Select Properties
Select Compatibility Tab > Change high DPI settings
Check the box "Use this setting to fix scaling problems..."
In the box "Use the DPI that's set for my main display when" set to "I open this program"
In the "High DPI scaling override box " select the check box and set to "System"
Select ok
Select apply
Select ok

Most of the launcher seems unnecessary these days - most of the news it shows is more than six months old. A huge banner to wishlist Odyssey got old after the first day...

If FD aren't going to put interesting stuff there, they could minimise it to just have the launch game options.

 

[Old Duck]

I've got this problem to.

 

[Kimosabe_X]

Odd thing about it is, that the launcher worked without this visual problem just two or three days ago

 

[GJ51]

Sure wish it was resizeble like any normal window and would retain screen position where it was last closed...

Too much to ask...

 

[FlySwat]

Just submitted a support ticket about this exact thing, except entire right half of launcher is obscured, including menus.
Useful info here. Will try to alter DPI setting tomorrow.

WHY DO FDEV CONTINUE TO CHANGE STUFF WITHOUT QA TESTING ?
Every patch they give their customers the horrors.

Check the what-now?!

Hmmm, Mine looks like this...

3NitroT6, yours is the properties of a shortcut, xX's is the Edlaunch.exe. That's probably the difference?

 

[Nutter]

It's windows scaling, the launcher got broke, i't can't handle scale. If you set your scale to 100% it works. I just leave it broken though. No Biggi

Thanks guys, fixed mine
I was running launcher and right clicking on it, it did nothing until I realised you meant the launch icon

The options are the same for the shortcut and the launcher. I'm running Windows 8.1.

I'd give the 3rd checkbox a try, "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

In my case (W10) @3NitroT6 's solution worked and I'm "happy" to see the advertisments on the right again...
But somehow the launcher looks a bit "blurry" now ?
