Board Game Arena

SAME. I’m in Safari on an iPad. All graphical elements seem to be rendered at 125% what they used to rendered at yesterday. The upshot: for many games I can’t see all my board/hand/table/panel without having to scroll. Appreciate the updates but this one needs to be fixed or rolled back.

Concrete examples are very helpful. Can you link a specific table where you're seeing the render problem now? (ideally one where even a spectator can see the problem)

Samsun s20, chrome 127
Everything appears smaller on Azul and Splendor Duel.
The chat button is tiny

Edit: updated to chrome 128 and same problem. The rest of the site seems fine, just the games.

Thanks, that phone has the same logical width as mine, and I also have the problem of small chat buttons.

To me, it seems like the fix was just "desktop" mode getting applied to mobile. On P.I. if I click "desktop mode" it looks the exact same on my screen as the "mobile" mode. Very tiny. On Just Desserts, the game itself is the same size, but all the buttons for taking notes, game settings, messages, ect are tiny.

I'm on a Google Pixel 5a, version 125 of Chrome.

Everything is smaller on terraforming mars. And the page keeps going to white screen for a second whenever I click on a button (and sometimes I even get an error and have to refresh)

Very disturbing especially in games with many players when it’s challenging to see what’s happening.

Three of us are having a weird large screen in Can’t Stop. All using chrome. Two iPads, one android tablet.

I was having the same issue. Looks like it has now been fixed / rolledback.

It's been zero fun to play on the phone app for 2 days now.

Everything is small, not centered, as if I was on a computer but hard to zoom.

I'm on an old Android Galaxy S20, and I use the app (which I think is Chrome).

I could list any of the 20 games I'm currently playing... it's the same for all of them.

EDIT I realise it's better this morning for the game itself but menu buttons, chat, past move icons etc are too small and unusable.

I've proposed a possible fix for log / chat buttons and text size, but I don't know if my fix will be accepted, or if they go with another approach. I imagine BGA wants to be careful before adding new changes which could affect lots of games.

Unfortunately even with these general fixes, there will probably be game-specific cases where after the dust settles, those maintainers need to adjust their scaling to be comfortable again.

The good news is once they do so, this problem shouldn't happen in the future. It happened this time because an old experimental feature was being used, and Chrome / Edge updated causing it to break.
