On my 5K iMac running macOS 10.13.6, Factorio runs in low resolution only. The old fix doesn't seem to work, as the Info.plist already declares the app capable of high resolution:

Hmm, I works fine in native Retina resolution in 0.17 on macs we have in the office. Both Steam and standalone version.

Thanks for the reply. On a hunch, I poked LaunchServices and it worked:
Code: Select all
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Factorio/factorio.app
It looks fantastic!

I should mention that this happened after upgrading from 0.16.x on my MacBook at home, too. I wouldn't be surprised if other Steam users are seeing this due to the way the app contents are replaced.

Just wanted to add my thanks for posting this solution. I couldn't work out why my Factorio was rendering so blurry on my 5K iMac and this was the solution. It's definitely related to Steam upgrading from 0.16 as deleting the Steam installation and re-downloading it fixes the issue.
