Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) - DF plays in a really small window
« on: February 24, 2015, 06:20:19 pm »

When I try and play the Mac version of DF, it loads so that the actual game screen takes up only the upper left quarter of the window, so even if the window is resized to fullscreen it's so small that it's difficult to play. I've had this problem on Yosemite only - I tried to play DF on another computer and it worked fine, but I'd rather not use that computer if I don't have to. Is there a way to fix this?

There was an issue with retina displays and some patch.. I don't know details. On non-retina 10.10 it works fine.

Bug report. Apparently going to data/init/init.txt and changing PRINT_MODE to STANDARD is supposed to fix the problem.

If you want to play with 2D mode (using TTF) and not Standard you can try Retina Display Menu to set a lower resolution.

Thanks, you guys just made my weekend  :D . I think I'm fine with standard, but thanks for the suggestion.
