Describe the issue
I don't know what's going on here, but the game is running crazy bad with 4.20 for me. I couldn't even run it properly first because it wasn't handling Windows scaling properly (scaled larger than the 1080p window so I could n't grab the edge). although I could already see it was running very slow.
I pulled the code down from GitHub, did a build, and hooked up to a second monitor so I could get the window back on screen. But the game was still running awful. Just creeping along
There's no reason this machine should have a whiff of problem.

Research direction
No source files or tests are identified. First reproduce the report on Windows 11 with 125% DPI scaling using OpenRCT2 4.20, then compare window scaling and runtime performance against a known-good build; done means the game displays at the intended size and runs normally on the reported hardware.
