Board Game Arena

bug report on Worldwide Tennis too, and several players have the problem on different mobile devices.

New-ish user here, and first forum post.

I am experiencing scaling and UI issues with Safari on iOS, so I don’t think this is limited to Chrome/Edge. The timing of when I noticed this change coincides with other user reports here, so it doesn’t seem to be browser-specific.

Examples include A Feast for Odin—the actions board and player boards (using the multiple view layout) used to stack and scale nicely
in portrait orientation. Now, the actions board and player boards are side-by-side, causing both to be extremely small. Rotating to landscape doesn’t help, either.

Another is Wingspan. In portrait, everything is very small. Switching to landscape helps, but then the left and right edges of all graphical elements are cut off. Registering button clicks (taps) seems to be hit or miss, too.

Interestingly, Castles of Burgundy doesn’t seem to be affected in any way. Perhaps others, as well.

For reference, I am using Safari on iOS 17.5.1, with an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I am experiencing UI scaling issues on Fire tablet. Everything is enlarged or seems to be in desktop mode.

Here are some images showing sizing issues: https://imgur.com/a/flLZtqI

Road to 300:
Grid now so zoomed in that it's partially off screen

Tranquility:
everything is way too small, and if I rotate the device, the discard button gets cut off

Go Stop:
Some text is now super-sized, and the junk cards are now placed with the brights.

The chat and game log buttons are absolutely miniscule.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the images. Can you please post the phone version (like "Galaxy S20") and web browser version (like "Chrome 128")?

I’m having the same problem with safari on my iPad running iPadOS 17.5.1. Wingspan renders ok in portrait but everything is small. In landscape (how I usually play it) the left and right sides of the board get clipped.

Hi, that new map is a big problem for me. I cannot play Catan anymore in good ways, the game is very slow and make my iphone very hot. Why

I'm having the same problems with scaling on nearly all games. Currently using a pixel 7 pro and the BGA app for Android. I am also experiencing severe delay when clicking cards in games. The game does not register the taps every single time. If I go too quickly the game thinks I'm trying to zoom and goes all crazy. As others have said, the log and chat buttons are very small and basically unusable with my 40-year-old eyeballs. I play exclusively on mobile and portrait mode, so this has not been a fun week on BGA.

On an unrelated note, a couple of my games keep having 502 errors and I'm unable to load them at all.

I have exactly the same problems and am a game developer on BGA -- I've been working to provide this feedback to staff so I'm hoping more improvements are on the way.

If anyone is curious, the delay (and tiny interface) is due to a non-native viewport being used. This apparently makes Android think tap zoom could be useful, but supporting tap zoom means every click has a big delay of 300 milliseconds waiting to see if you double clicked.

For those that are unaware, the only browser that I found works is Opera. Mozilla and Chrome on Android are both causing the issue for me.

In the meantime, I am using Opera and have a shortcut on my homescreen that acts like the app with notifications turned on. I hope it helps those that haven't yet found a solution for mobile.
