[Bug] OS X Lion fullscreen/resolution broken

Postby methodmissing » Wed Sep 26, 2012 11:53 pm

When I start the game it is fixed to about 1/3 of screen size, no window chrome, and no difference based on my settings.

Windowed, 0 0 size

Windowed, 1680 1050 size

(image size was reset to 0 0 after closing game)

Fullscreen, 0 0 size

Yep, same here on Mountain Lion. My config is a MacBook Pro with external display (LG, 1920x1080 resolution) and MBP lid is down. Also noticed that preferences.txt gets reset to ScreenW 0 and ScreenH 0.

Can confirm that this occurs for me as well.

Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a Retina MBP with the 'standard' resolution.

I'm seeing the game take up most, but not all, of the screen, anchored on the bottom left. There is no window chrome or anything, and the menu has only a Window option with "Minimize" (grayed out) as the only option.

When the game starts my entire screen initially goes black, as if it's going to run full-screen, but after a second or two it drops back to my desktop with the game covering most of the screen as described above.

I'm running 10.8.2, native 1440x900 resolution on the laptop.

I have the same problem, but a partial solution has been found in this thread

I have the same issue too. I'm running on a 27" iMac (2560x1440) with a second 24" monitor attached (1920x1200) and it takes up the bottom left hand quarter of the iMac screen. I too am running 10.8.2.

Well, the Library folder, where the game files are located is hidden by default. You could change that with TinkerTool, but if you are new to macs I'd strongly advise against using it if you are not absolutely sure what you are doing.
However, there are other ways to navigate to the Prison Architect folder:
The easiest one would probably be:

Open finder and press Command + Shift + G
copy and paste the full path:

Code: Select all

~/Library/Application Support/Prison Architect


Edit the preferences file :)

You can also click on "Open Save Folder" in the main menu of Prison Architect, assuming you can see the main menu.
