Ren'Py Window Size Bug

So a strange thing happened to me recently... the launcher window is suddenly REALLY tiny, making the text too small for me to really read well. I can't really say what could have caused this. I just opened it one time and it started doing this. I tried updating the program after, but that didn't fix anything. I've been using Ren'Py for years and never encountered this before, so it's very strange. I figured I'd make a note of it before taking any more extreme actions like wiping Ren'Py entirely and doing a fresh install.
To better explain what I mean by the window size, I've attached an image showing the actual size of it now.
that's not a thumbnail, it's not shrunken down. That's full size.
Honestly, this would probably not be an issue if you could resize the window back manually in some capacity, but it's stuck at what it is, so I'm not sure how I'd go about fixing it unless a fresh install is indeed the solution.
Oh and if it matters, this is Windows version. I use 8.1... though even if I boot into Linux and run it from the .sh file instead, I get the same thing (I'm assuming because the Linux version just launches the renpy.exe through WINE or something)

Try to hold shift while runung renpy.exe, then choose different renderers. If it won't help check your video card drivers.

Possibly take a look at renpy itself, the launcher is editable.
under c:/program files/renpy/launcher/game/gui7.rpy
ensure lines 335 to 385 are the same as this:
Code: Select all
label gui_project_size:
python:
gui_size = interface.choice(
_("What resolution should the project use? Although Ren'Py can scale the window up and down, this is the initial size of the window, the size at which assets should be drawn, and the size at which the assets will be at their sharpest.\n\nThe default of 1280x720 is a reasonable compromise."),
[
((1066, 600), "1066x600"),
((1280, 720), "1280x720"),
((1920, 1080), "1920x1080"),
("custom", _("Custom. The GUI is optimized for a 16:9 aspect ratio.")),
],
(1280, 720),
cancel=Jump("front_page"),
)
if gui_size == "custom":
gui_width = ""
while True:
gui_width = interface.input(
_("WIDTH"),
_("Please enter the width of your game, in pixels."),
cancel=Jump("front_page"),
allow=interface.DIGITS_LETTERS,
)
try:
gui_width = int(gui_width)
except:
interface.error(_("The width must be a number."), label=None)
continue
break
gui_height = ""
while True:
gui_height = interface.input(
_("HEIGHT"),
_("Please enter the height of your game, in pixels."),
cancel=Jump("front_page"),
allow=interface.DIGITS_LETTERS,
)
try:
gui_height = int(gui_height)
except:
interface.error(_("The height must be a number."), label=None)
continue
break
gui_size = (gui_width, gui_height)
Note: I am running renpy 7.1.3, so potentially there might be changes I am unaware of.

holding shift while double clicking renpy.exe didn't do anything. It just opened as normal (well normal now with the tiny window) not sure what you mean by choose different renderers.
It can't be a video card driver thing since there was no change between when it was regular size and now.
No, that wouldn't be it. What you quoted are the lines related to the prompt when creating a new game that asks what size the game window should be. It has nothing to do with the launcher window.

It sounds like your windows display scaling is set oddly. Do you have multiple monitors with a different DPI on each, for some reason?

I have dual monitors, but they are literally identical... like I got 2 of the same exact monitor at the same exact time identical. Also, I've not messed with any settings between when Ren'py was normal and Ren'py was like it is now.
Literally the only thing that happened was I tried to build an Android distro but I was missing something so it failed. I closed Ren'py, got what I needed, and when I launched it again, it was all tiny and remains that way on every subsequent launch across both Windows and Linux.

Woops, do it is.
This is why I shouldn't check the forum at 5 in the morning

Hmm... maybe hit shift+O as in Oscar to get into the cOnsole, then type
Code: Select all
renpy.set_physical_size((800, 600))
