I am running native 2560x1080 resolution with GZDoom 4.7.1 (and few earlier versions) but ever since I moved to Win10 last August, my screenshot resolution was cut in half. Not sure what's causing this problem of mine..
Problem appears to be resolved now.

What is your video Scale Factor set to, in the Video Options? Also, can you upload one of these screenshots?

It is on 1.0. and it looks like the Custom Pixel Scaling was left on 1280x540 for some reason.
No idea how it got to that but changing it to my 21:9 ratio resolution fixed it.

Re: Screenshot resolution cut in half on GZDoom 4.7.x (FIXED
I too am wondering if there are any inconsistencies between different GZDoom and QZDoom versions regarding HUD and interface scaling.
Two issues I've noticed when testing my mod on different versions:
1: Intermission Text (particularly the Time/Par) is not consistent with other versions.
2: I have a custom HUD that gets cut off at the top on one version, but displays perfectly on another
I have checked that scaling options are as close as possible (if not almost 100% the same), and have been designing and testing the mod with these at 2560x1440 across all the versions I've tested:
GZDoom 4.4.2
QZDoom q2.1pre-908-g8814092ee
GZDoom 4.6.0

Intermission text scaling was redone a few versions ago to match Doom.exe, similar to the menu.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback 
If I want my mod to look and work the same way/as close as possible for players as It does on my end, what would be the most efficient way to do so?
Uploading the version of QZ/GZDoom along with the mod as a full package?
It may sound silly, but I'm not really willing to redesign graphics and recode things to find a sweet spot across multiple versions.

Simply state old versions are deprecated, period.
If you design around a particular version of GZDoom feel free to drop it in with the mod, or at least state what version number you are using for the mod.

Thanks 
Also, how do I set the scaling options to be "Scale to Fullscreen" by default so players don't need to play around to get the proper setting?
Not sure if I'm doing the autoexec.cfg thing correctly.
hud_althudscale=-1
hud_scale=-1
