Windowed mode shrinks every launch.

i set these settings manually in UserSettings.txt to 1280x720 and every time i run the game it removes 8px.

SET WindowedHeight "616"
SET WindowedWidth "1176"

And the game window gets smaller and smaller and smaller every time.
I've tried marking the file as read-only but it just gets over-written regardless.

I'm running windows 10 with nvidia 1050ti

    LOL I also experienced this and thought I was losing my mind!! I was like "Wow, have I really been playing on such a small screen the whole time?" Apparently not lol. Have you submitted a bug report?

    "ZOS is shrinking my monitor size!"

    a strange bug indeed. Playing this game in windowed mode is beset with issues but greatly it allows for multi-tasking, this should be definitely looked into.

    Yeah, it's weird but noticeable, I just need to regularly re-size the window back to nearly full screen.

    I have the same issue as well and have to resize it every now and then back to where I want it.

    OP, have you tried using "windowed full-screen" mode instead ? It has the performance (and task-switching) benefits, but without the window borders.

    I'm not sure my GPU can run the game full screen resolution; i normally just stick with 720p which is about 2/3 of the screen.
