Pictures attached below for details.
Scaling from the "interface" setting to 200% with a 1440x900 resolution on Mac M1 creates severe issues. You can't change it back, since you can't "confirm changes", the green box that's usually at the right corner on every setting page. Other settings such as "Graphics", "Mod settings" and a few others doesn't suffer from the 200% scaling problem, where the green "confirm" box is visible. Pressing ESC only allows you to discard the settings and not apply new settings (ex. go back to 100% scaling...) Oh, and you can't quit the game in the proper way, because the main menu is also too big so there is no "Quit Game" button. Have to force quit the app. *Scrolling doesn't work horizontally
Really difficult to find the config file and change the interface setting back to normal. It's downloaded through Steam. Thought the path would be:
\Library\Application Support\Steam\steamapps\common\factorio\ then into the Contents folder, but i can't find the config file there.. Help

Re: [1.1.59] Interface scaling to 200% on 1440x900 creates issues
Not sure where to post it then. Isn't the confirm button supposed to be there? There isn't any conventionel solution to this, as far as i have looked, and it's game breaking as in you can't change it back. Is there somewhere else I could let the issue be known instead of the Bug section?

You can find the config.ini there : D:\Users\mmmPI\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\config
If your Disk has the letter D and your name is mmmPI
Then line 163 or CTRL-F to find this :
[interface]
; Options: true, false
automatic-ui-scale=false
custom-ui-scale=0.750000
where you must have something like 2.00000

Oh I thought you just reported in general, not that you still cannot get it back. In windows the config file directory is hidden, can you not navigate to it through the terminal in mac os?
Or even simpler, can you not move the settings window to the left to show the confirm button or just press E to confirm?

Per the wiki it should be in ~/Library/Application Support/factorio/config/config.iniMrGazWay wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 11:09 pmReally difficult to find the config file and change the interface setting back to normal. It's downloaded through Steam. Thought the path would be:

Also, escape is the cancel button, which is why it discards settings. You can hit E to confirm even if you can't see the confirm button.
Also also, Ctrl+NumPad- will lower the interface scaling on Windows - may be the same on Mac. Ctrl+Numpad0 resets it to automatic.

Issue solved thanks to this.
Pressing E to confirm changes solves the issue! And dragging the menu window also makes the confirm button visible, thanks alot.
For anyone else trying to mess with the config.ini file on Mac OS, it's too much of a hassle and not worth it. I definitely recommend other solutions, although it's still do-able. See the next comment.

[interface]
; Options: true, false

where you must have something like 2.00000
For Mac OS users, the file path for the config is:
/Users/[name]/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/78029704/427520/remote/config.ini/
The first number in the file path "78029704" might be another number for you, but the "427520" number is Factorio's Steam ID.
In the config.ini file, copy paste the following under the [interface], if it's not shown already.
"
; Options: true, false
automatic-ui-scale=false
custom-ui-scale=0.750000 (where 0.75000 is the decimal scaling, equal to 75%)
"
Apparently this setting didn't show up for me, when i looked for it in the config.ini file. But it works by copy/pasting it into the file and saving it.
