Maybe a strange question but would you be able to take a picture of your monitor with the game running (start screen or home screen)? I would like to see if it really covers the screen or if there is some space on top or the bottom.

Here you go.

I'm not a Mac person but windows has a zoom option (to show things on the screen bigger). Does a Mac have such option (or some form of scaling) that you might use?

I’m not sure. . .but I have to wonder why it displays correctly with the same settings in FHM3.

Do you still have FHM 3 installed? Could you post a trace file from it?

I'm in the game, I enabled the debug trace and simmed a few games. . .but when I click on Open Trace File nothing happens. . .

You can navigate to the file in your Finder and open it by hand.

OK - Can't seem to find where it is. Checked all of the FHM3 files. Can you tell me where it should be?

I had/have the same issue (MacBookPro 2015 w/Retina Display).
System Preferences / Displays / Scaled selected / changed Default to More Space
Looks like: 1680 x 1050.
A pain, but it works.

Game On · 10-06-2017, 04:20 PM

Ok, now it doesn't work. Still a great game and computer.

Agreed.

With 1680*1050 it should even work in windows mode.

Can you post a trace file?

Sebastian Palkowski · 10-07-2017, 08:30 AM

Everyone with this problem, what Mac OSX Versions do you guys run?

DFyvie · 10-07-2017, 10:17 AM

I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.5

jldante56 · 10-07-2017, 10:31 AM

Os x 10.10.5.

DFyvie · 10-10-2017, 02:35 AM

The game appears the same no matter what option you pick on the settings screen. All with the same bottom cut-off which is troublesome because on the roster screen any roster info/salary info is missing. Hope this gets fixed so I can play.

In FHM 3 If I disabled auto hide dock I was fine. I tried it at every resolution and it doesn't do the trick this year.

What screen resolution do you have? Is your screen cut off as well?

As I said earlier: the trace file shows correct values, so it should just work. If I force my monitor to 1280*800 it works. I have no idea what the problem is at this point. It looks to be Mac´s with 1280*800 native resolution but I don´t have such monitor to test it here.

Sebastian Palkowski · 10-10-2017, 02:16 PM

I still don´t know what exactly it is but I found a workaround on my setup (which works with out it but maybe it works on your systems as well):

Try to hide the dock (the bottom bar) and the status bar (the one on top), choose "Maximized" in the game and restart it. Here I get the full screen without any cutoffs, maybe it works on your computer as well?

Unfortunately no luck. See screen shot. . .it's quite the conundrum.

Tried with display mode windowed too. . .same result.
