Make sure that display scaling is set to 100% on the higher resolution screen. It's a windows setting in Display Settings:

If it still doesnt work, try autohiding your taskbar.  Thats what i have to do because my screen is exactly 1440x900 and the taskbar effectively removes 40 pixels.

greetings to all ,
For those who have problems, resolution and/or date, days etc.    .    .   
Here's how I did it:
a) Right click on Aurora exe on your desktop if you have created a shortcut, otherwise in your installation directory.   
- Property
- Compatibility
-  Click on display scaling for high resolutions
-Apply and enter.   
Normally you shouldn't have any more problems.   

As far as days and dates are concerned.    .    .   
Here's how I did it :

a) Control Panel
b) Clock, Language and Region
c) click on Change the format of the date, date or numbers
e) Click on the drop-down panel and select English
     (United Kingdom) Apply and ok .   

And normally you shouldn't have any more problems
Hoping to have helped you .   


PS :I apologize for my primitive English.    .    .      :)
I think some of you had your eyes bleeding.    .    .     Ha la France! incorrigible  ;D

It boggles the mind why windows would have the default display scaling set to 125% on so many devices. I mean sure if the screen is like 10 inches across....

Its not that windows has that default, rather, the vendor has that default applied during their setup process.  I've never had the default be 125% on any device I have setup.

They know the display is tiny, so they bump the scaling to keep tiny pixels from producing tiny icons and text.  Of course, if any application tries to leverage that entire display's resolution without having taken scaling into account, the scaling screws them over.

I quite agree with that.  In any case, it works for me.
I no longer have any problems with the game windows when I open them.
This avoids hiding the taskbar, especially if you have other programs running.

Are there people who still have problems with dates and days? In my games the days were in French, now everything is in English, I think you have to choose United Kingdom in the drop-down, Steve there says himself the game was designed on a British computer.
