Qlik Sense Desktop - Screen Resolution Issue

Hi all,

I have an issue with screen resolution at newest versions of Qlik Sense Desktop. I used to work with version 3.1.1, where resolution was ok according to machine resolution.

I upgraded to version 3.1.2, just download and install whitout any other change, and resolution changes to following:

Desktop ERR.jpg

Version 3.1.3 has same issue than 3.1.2.

After uninstalling and installing version 3.1.1 again, issue is fixed.

Anyone face the same issue? Since I didn't change anything else than Qlik Sense Desktop, I strongly believe that this is a product issue.

Is there any configuration file into Sense Desktop for resolution settings?

Best regards.

Christian.

Hello Ignacio,

You need to be making the changes in your local programs folder in the services.conf file. 

Is that what you need help with?

Hi Ignacio,

It can be found here:


C:\Users\(yourfolder)\AppData\Local\Programs\Qlik\Sense.

Open the services.conf file with WordPad or the likes, and search for [browser.parameters] section (it's towards the bottom), and add the following parameters (see image following):

--high-dpi-support=1

--force-device-scale-factor=1

Hope that clears it up!

Any feedback from the qlik guys when this bug is going to be solved? Now the product is broken for hi-resolution displays (which I guess is 80%+ of everyone). Pretty huge bug, making the product near unusable and already in the product for months!

I agree, I'm running with 4K monitors and this version really messed things up, using the browser  is a viable alternative. Of course this issue is only QS Desktop , developing from your HUB on a server edition does not reveal the same issue.
