    Problem solved (Windows 10). This metod works on Settlers 3 as well. Right click on S4_Main.exe (Siedler3R.exe for Settlers 3), go to "Properties". Then "Compatibility", check "Run this program as an administrator", click on "Change high DPI Settings" and check "Override high DPI scaling behavior". Game resolution will auto-scale to your desktop resolution.

    @amkillernl are you playing the history edition of the game that was just released?

    Hello there przemol44! Welcome to the forums!

    Could you let us know which version of the game you are playing, and whether it is the history edition of the game? Thanks!

    Hello,

    I have the same problem. I bought Settlers 4 History Edition at Ubisoft store and after installation the quality of graphics is very bad. In the game I have no graphics settings.

    Win 10. Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060.
