I got a Surface Book today , and things weren ' t as simple as on my SP 4 . I needed to go into the EXE file and disable DPI scaling AND change the system resolution down to get Civ 6 working properly at a chosen resolution . Even with this , I can ' t get it to lock to full screen mode , it only works in borderless window oddly . So it ' s not ideal and it ' s silly a PC centric game like this doesn ' t work better . Trying out Divinity Original Sin , lets me pick an independent resolution from the system resolution and works quite flawlessly so far ! After trying multiple settings , I think I ' ve settled on running Civ 6 at a higher resolution than I ' d thought , with mostly low settings . I settled at 2052 x 1368 . I assess that higher resolution is better than 1504 x 1000 or lower resolution even if I have to dial back graphical fidelity . the overall sharpness trumps other features . Cities look sharp and detailed ! At a moderate midgame level , I ' m tracking about 3050 FPS with water quality and leader scene quality bumped up one notch . Leader scenes run about 25 FPS at LOW at this resolution , which is pretty good . I may try upping terrain resolution from low to medium to see how that fairs . 1504 x 1000 ran at a higher FPS , but I didn ' t like the aliasing all that much . YMMV . and I could try some MSAA on a lower resolution to see if that works , but sharper image is better than any MSAA filters .
