On hidpi monitor Virus TI VST plugin is extremely tiny

  • On a high dpi monitor (3840 x 2160) the Virus TI VST plugin is so tiny that it's unusable. Increasing the display scaling value in Windows settings has no effect on the scale of the Virus TI plugin (the default scale setting for the monitor is 250%).


    Is there some way to scale the plugin? Perhaps via Windows compatibility settings? If so, what is the file that needs to have the compatibility settings changed?


    Many thanks



    OS: Windows 11 x64
    Virus TI Software Suite 5.1.7.00 64-bit

  • Just tried to see if it's possible to change the compatibility settings for the various Access Virus .dll files in the VSTPlugins folder and the Access Virus program folder. Unfortunately it's not possible to change the compatibility settings.


    It looks like this issue would require a fix on the software side that would enable the VST plugin to honor the system DPI settings.

  • Found the solution: Click the down-arrow on the upper-right side of the Virus TI instrument window and from the drop-down list select "Allow Window to be Resized". Walla! After that the window will close and re-open and will be scaled correctly.
