Well, THEBERBSTER has a thread here "SH5 <> TUTORIALS <>HOW TO DO IT <..." that was most helpful to me years ago with my Steam version. While some of the information is now "dated", there might be something in there to help, but you've apparently already been through most of that from what you've posted... For me, one of the "different" things about the Steam game was that I had to start it through the Steam app on my computer, log-in, then use the Steam short-cut in the Library. I did create a desktop short-cut - in Steam - after that to "streamline" the process, but it still starts through Steam and does its license checks...

I think I have DPI problem and many has stated to disable DPI setting which can be done here:



But I dont have this option in my sh5.exe



Mine this is a Norwegian Windows 10 but you can see that I dont have this option here.

Ahh, I found it now

PPT is the same as DPI

I was going to run through my SH5 settings on the Win10 machine real quickly, and post back with what my settings look like... Well, between Steam and Ubisoft, I just now got through all of each of their updates... -There was an update for Steam (again) and an update for UPlay (again), and UPlay 'forgot' my account, I forgot my password, etc. etc. etc., and while looking into which Windows 10 "build" I have (Version 1909 Build 18363.720), I see that Win10 is in the process of downloading an "Update"!!!... - but, for whatever reason, my "Compatibility" mode is set to "Windows XP SP2", and I do not remember if I changed that, or if the "Compatibility Troubleshooter" did that (it was probablty me)... The "Compatibility" and "Run as administrator" are the only two things I have checked in my "Properties" page, but I have onboard video on this computer, so more changes are unnecessary for this computer... I do not have issues like you describe on either the Win10 nor Win7 machine though. Hopefully, the DPI / PPT setting does it for you.
