Forum Discussion
I tried to change it and the resolution became smaller and i changes it via Options (int)
@ffmnn Is the different resolution remaining in place now? When we started, you said that if you changed the in-game resolution, it would revert to the old setting, but it sounds like that's no longer the case.
What do you mean by the resolution becomes smaller? If you mean that the user interface at the bottom of the screen is smaller, that's actually supposed to happen: a higher resolution means the UI gets proportionally smaller. If you mean something else, please post a screenshot or photo of the screen. And let me know what resolution the game is currently using as well.
The issue is fixed but there’s only three resolution sizes. I have a 13 inch MacBook and I know there supposed to be more than three screen sizes. The UI is so small.
@ffmnn The fact that you only see three resolutions is a known issue and has been for a year or so, I think since people started updating from Monterey 12.3 to 12.4. Someone posted a workaround here:
However, the fact is that the UI gets smaller as the resolution gets bigger. The game sets the UI size in pixels, not percentage of the game window. When you use a higher resolution, that literally means more pixels in the same area, so a given number of pixels will take up less space, and the UI will too. I think some modder might have tried to address this, but I don't remember if their mod worked and certainly haven't tested it myself.
Thank you!
