VMware Fusion + Retina Display HUD issue

Postby fattymcbones » Mon Feb 08, 2016 10:48 pm

Hey guys -

I'm running a VMware Fusion with Windows 7 on my Mac. PT4 installed fine and the poker client software (WPN) is working fine. The only issue is that the HUD appears misplaced. I have a secondary monitor where I leave the poker client and PT4.

I read through the FAQ and saw an article link for Parallels and how this is a known issue with Retina Macs. Obviously, this is not a PT4 issue. However, I did everything I could via VMware's KB articles and made all adjustments possible (to be as close to the Parallels description and for info that worked solely for VMware).

To repeat, I totally realize this is not a PT4 issue, however I just can't get the HUD to lay across the tables - it only sits up to the far left of the table. Not sure if anyone has a solution, but I've tried so many things I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

P.S. I am running it on full display for retina.

Do you have Windows Mangification enabled? PT4 is not DPI-aware and cannot adjust when magnification is turned on.

It's totally possible. I'm not 100% sure where/what windows magnification pertains to, however.

Here's a screenshot of the "appearance and personalization" panel.

Is it strictly in reference to text size? If so, then this is the culprit.

Yep - that solved it! Moving it down to 100% from 150% fixed it.

THANKS!!!!
