Troubleshooting / Macos - Shrunken display, maybe due to Retina
« on: July 14, 2022, 11:05:06 pm »
I'm running MacOS Monterey on an iMac with a 21.5" retina display. It has a second display which is a typical 1980x1080 PC monitor. I'm running a copy of OpenXcom that I compiled myself from the current master branch.
When I launch OpenXcom, the game opens a window the expected size, but sometimes the graphics are squashed into the bottom left corner of the window. It seems to happen when the game window opens on the retina display rather than the external display, but it's not 100% - sometimes the graphics are correctly sized when opening on the retina display. If I go into the video options and change settings, sometimes the problem corrects itself, but I haven't found a specific change that reliably does that.
I set "useOpenGL" to "true" in options.cfg to work around an issue where SDL 1.2 doesn't work quite right on MacOS (see https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,7972.0.html).
Any idea where I'd start start troubleshooting this? I'm a software developer by trade, but I don't normally do native development on MacOS.
