SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI Does not seem to work

SDL Development
1

This is on Windows 10 with Desktop scaling set to 150%-- there are 2 monitors attached(a 4k and a 1080p)

If I boot up the game in borderless windowed mode it stretches it across both monitors, and some of it is offscreen. The game uses D3D11 for rendering.

By adding a call to SetProcessDPIAware prior to creating the window, the problem was fixed.

Anyway it appears that SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI is not doing the correct thing, or not doing anything.

It doesn’t have an implementation in SDL’s Windows backend yet - see the discussion in this (fairly long) thread: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3281#c12
