@sophiemonz The size of the UI is dependent only on the in-game resolution, not any other factors. What options do you see for fullscreen and windowed modes? Please check both modes. Please also let me know the specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac except for the serial number.

Thank you for the reply.
So for resolution options both for fullscreen and windowed are the two following:
- 2048 x 1280
- 2560 x 1600
The first 2048 x 1280 is the one it is currently set to, while the other just makes it even smaller. These are the only two options given.
My specs are as follows:
MacBook Pro, 13 inch, M1 chip, 2020
macOS Monterey, version 12.4
8 GB memory

@sophiemonz That's strange. I have a 16" MacBook Pro and ten options for resolution in both fullscreen and windowed modes. Do you use any system accessiibility settings, for example making the images on-screen larger? Have you set a scaled resolution? You can check in About This Mac > Displays > Displays Preferences; either the "Default for Display" or the "Scaled" option will be active.
If this isn't relevant, or you don't want to mess with your system settings, you can test in a new admin user account. When you create it, just use the default settings for everything rather than adjusting them or importing your current account's settings. All I'd want to know is whether you had more in-game resolution options than just the two you've listed.
- 3 years ago@puzzlezaddict It is strange indeed. As I say, I've played this for a while with no problems and all of a sudden this happens.
My display makes no difference unfortunately. I also tried with a new user account and the same occurred.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with the recent software update I did on my Mac? But surely this wouldn't change the settings on a game. Running out of options here. I also just tried uninstalling the game completely and installing it again, but the same results again, which is incredibly annoying.
