Symptoms

The menu of the game will appear upside down and zoomed in.

This does not happen only if the resolution is 640x480 while in fullscreen mode.

Using Alt+Enter to alternate between fullscreen and windowed fix this issue. (I believe the engine is restarted)

Note: This game is running on the Quake III Arena Engine, and this does not happen on native Windows.

Reproduction

Start the game, wait for the menu to load and this should appear:
