Known limitations

• This is a beta release.
• The app is currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning.
• Some fullscreen games may hide or block overlays.
• Borderless windowed mode usually works better than exclusive fullscreen.
• Separate Window mode works best with two monitors.
• If Windows display scaling is changed while ZoomLens is running, restart ZoomLens.
• Changing monitor topology while ZoomLens is running may require restarting the app.
• Smooth interpolation is planned for a future engine version.
• Image clarity depends on the source resolution and scaling.

Games and anti-cheat note

ZoomLens does not inject into games. It uses standard Windows windowing and magnification APIs.

However, some games, fullscreen modes, or anti-cheat systems may block overlays or behave differently. Use ZoomLens with competitive games at your own discretion.
