What happens when the bug occurs? The EA/Origin login window was not placed correctly, and the initial settings screen after login rendered the 'Reset' and 'Accept' buttons off the the screen, so that I couldn't see or click them. Esc didn't do anything, and with no guidance visible on what to do in the screen, I had to Alt-Tab out of the app and force it to close. This behavior went away when I set my Windows scaling settings to 100%.
What do you expect to see? A usable main menu centered and visible at my default screen resolution and scaling.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." None
What components were you using? A 4k display on Nvidia RTX 2080 Super in a Win 10 Home 64 bit gaming box.
Which customizations (if any) were you using? None
It's 2020, and Microsoft has forced everyone running Windows to use Windows 10. EA should be aware of Windows 10's scaling settings, which would be used by many people playing on 4K displays or even 1080.
My Windows scaling settings were set to 125%, so the EA/Origin login window was not placed correctly, and the initial settings screen after login rendered the 'Reset' and 'Accept' buttons off the the screen, so that I couldn't see or click them. Esc didn't do anything, and with no guidance visible on what to do in the screen, I had to Alt-Tab out of the app and force it to close. This behavior went away when I set my Windows scaling settings to 100%.
