Welcome screen too big with high DPI setup

Hello,

I have my computer connected to a big screen HD tv, and windows set up with 1080 resolution and 270% DPI so I can read the screen from the sofa. I used the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" screen in Windows 7 to configure this setting.

When I start the game, the welcome screen doesn't fit to the default DPI and I can't even see the buttons to start the game.

Is this something I can fix, or do I need to change my DPI every time I want to play the game?

Thank you very much.

    OK, I have found out I can run the game directly from the data folder. However, seems like the fonts in the game use their own DPI rather than querying the windows profile.

    I can see this question has been asked before, but with no answers: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/8818/is-there-anyway-to-make-the-text-bigger
    https://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/7980/bigger-font

    I can't read it at all from my couch. I guess I just need to wait and see if they fix it in a future release, or modders do something about it. Oh well.

    Edit: I have tried the following, but neither of them worked at all:

    'Window', 'w', '800',
    'Window', 'h', '600',

    'Graphics', 'Width', '800',
    'Graphics', 'Height', '600',

    Sorry to bump an old topic, but I just installed the 1.2 and now all I can see on screen is:

    So I´m not sure what to do now. Can someone please help me, or point me in the right direction? Thank you very much.

    Hey, just had the exact same problem. Here's what I had to do.
    Once I put in the below settings

    'Window', 'w', '800',
    'Window', 'h', '600',

    And tried to start the game, the following parameters were added to my baldur config file:

    'Window', 'Full Screen', '1',
    'Window', 'Maximized', '0',

    I modified them to read as follows:
    'Window', 'Full Screen', '0',
    'Window', 'Maximized', '1',

    and BOOYA, properly sized screen.
