iphone 12 scale

Hulks

Is there a way to change to the zoom level on an iphone 12? I just upgraded from an iphone 8 and looking at the screen is giving me a headache now. The entire game is zoomed in, in what I presume to be an attempt to fill the whole screen. It's so obnoxiously huge now though.

And I have to scroll more to easily access things, such as selecting crew for voyages/shuttles.
Specific examples: in the crew list on the iphone 8 I saw 2 full lines of crew, on the 12 now I see 1.5 lines of crew.

It's weird that a larger screen makes the game MORE cluttered.

Anyone have any suggestions???

I experienced something similar upgrading from a 6s to the XR. Short answer: I doubt it. Being on an XR, I obviously don’t know what the 12 can do, but I suspect it has more to do with aspect ratio of the screens. The STT app just doesn’t seem to adapt to these changes very well.

Hope someone has a better answer for you.

Could you please provide a screenshot of how the UI looks like for you? Thank you!

Hi Shan,

I recently got an iPhone 12, I am having the same issue. See the two screenshots below.

It’s like this on other screens too, very zoomed in. If you need additional screenshots just let me know.

The iPhone 12 does have a much wider screen than the 8+, closer to the XR in this comparison. So there is going to be a difference, as you illustrated with your screenshots.



The game tries to scale to wider phone screens, but in doing so can make some screens very awkward/clumsy looking. It’s been this way since the iPhone X came out.

Here’s an example on my iPhone 12. Can barely fit 1.5 rows of crew on various screens. Again, unfortunately this has been the norm in game on super-widescreen (19.5:9) phones for a few years now.

Thank you for all the screenshots!
