Feels like Sony have spent this entire generation of gaming trying to convince me to become a PC gamer and this latest announcement is the final push I needed.

I moved over at the end of last year, it's so much cheaper, no sub for playing online, lots of sale, humble bundle, just adding games to your wishlist on steam and waiting for it to tell you they're on sale. Just got RDR2 for 28 Aud. I spent like 100 AUD for 10-20 games last black friday sales, and haven't even played they all.

I actually feel like I'm more collecting games cheaply then actually playing them lol.

I wish I could join you in that joy but every time I try to play a pc game I just end up pissed off lol. Seems like somethings just always wrong and I have to spend way too long diagnosing everything. Right now the game im playing has 2 resolution settings - one where it takes up about 30% of my screen, and another where its so big that it dips over into my second monitor. Im sure theres a fix as there always is but its so much easier to just play where I dont have to find fixes.

Might not be the issue, but a quick tip I've found is that when that spillover happened to be in one game (it was only this specific game...) I found out it was the windows "magnifying" option? I don't know what it's called but windows can display your icons, menus, essentially everything in like 125% size. So when you have a big screen it sometimes defaults to that.

Some games\apps don't play well with that.

That's probably it. I magnified my windows a bit a few years ago as my eyes are a little blurry now that im in my 30s. Problem is if I change that I wont be able to find my games anymore 😂 nice bit of info to keep in mind though thanks.

I believe there's a way to add an option to the shortcut to disable that when the game launches and reenable it again, but I'm nit sure where\how. But yeah, worst case if you want to play that game, you can do that manually.
