Tiny cursor, text, launcher and Icons
Hey everyone!, So after a 4 year hiatus, I'm back on windows bootcamp with a new mac machine, eager to play the old republic, but I'm experiencing some scaling issues. The cursor in-game is incredibl...

The next thing you may need to do is check and see if your Mac's default resolution settings are in agreement with your graphics driver's (and, of course, the game's). Check to see if your settings are being overridden/managed by any program in particular for starters (make sure you're running SWTOR as an administrator).
If everything went well, by now things should look more normal! You might need to adjust your overall User Interface if certain text or other parts of your HUD are still teeny. I think it's the Global Scale if you just want to enlarge everything, or if you have problems with individual elements you can alter their size separately by clicking on them one by one and configuring their scale.
RB,
Thank you so much for the in-depth response! I tried editing the client_settings file, but everything seemed to match what was required. I'm interested in your second suggestion, but how do I check if my Mac's resolution settings are in agreement with the drivers? This would make sense as the Mac volume icon is affected. Thanks!
2 options as this looks like a 4k screen
Lower the resolution on the MAC to something like 1920 x 1080 or 2560 x 1440 before playing
otherwise you can enlarge the UI ingame , cant do anything for the launcher
The UI size can be increased further then the in-game scaler allows (1.25) but needs to be done for each UI profile used
•Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time. •Copy the following in to the text box and press ok: %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings
Go to the folder called GUIProfiles , these are your UI settings for each character .
Now in these you will find a section like below, now this says global scale is set to 1.1 , set this to say 1.500000
-<Global>
<GlobalScale Value="1.100000" Type="3"/>
<EnableMovableWindows Value="0" Type="2"/>
</Global>
- Approved
Hi! No, not a 4k display, just a 2014 MacBook Retina. That is currently my fix, increasing the UI, however the text remains small and the cursor is still tiny- the cursor being so small means that It's hard to select enemies quickly and it's less easy to be precise.
Thank you to everyone who has had suggestions! However, I'm still struggling :/ Any more thoughts?
if just lowering resolution ingame does not help then try one of the scaled resolutions like listed at this link and match ingame
hello im having the same issue, on PC, 1080p normal screen, but tiny undreadable UI. i tried changing the resolution but the UI stays extremely small its unplayable. lowering resolution ingame does not help. neither the pc's resolution settings which are fine. thnaks anyway have a nice day
