Troubleshooting FAQ

This is a list of basic questions that come up for most new players, before running to the discord about your issue, please review this FAQ for some of the more common issues.

My screen is zoomed in I can't read anything, how can I fix this?

The newer versions of java "support" OS hi-dpi scaling suggestions, typically this is seen if you run on a 4K screen, and this scaling probably not set right for your display and comfort levels. You have three options;

• Correct the scaling in your OS's settings; set it to a more suitable scale, 125% or 150% for 4k displays (is about normal), windows may default to 200%.
• Disable scaling using compatibility mode; right click on the executable and open the properties, go to compatibility mode, and disable hi-dpi support.
• Disable scaling using java command line argument; in the .bat, .sh, or .command file you run (depending on your system), you can modify the line that starts with java and add -Dsun.java2d.ddscale=false to disable scaling at the java interpreter level.

I've screwed up my layouts, I can't see X panel. How do I fix?

Layouts are finicky, we know, and can get screwed up pretty easily. You have two options, if the first doesn't work, you'll need to take the more drastic approach of the second;

• Reset layouts button in settings; there is a button in the settings to reset the layouts of the deck editor, and the play fields respectively.
• Delete the layouts XML files manually; in the user data folder, the layout XMLs can be found and deleted, this should be what the reset layouts button does above.
• Move/Delete the user data settings for layouts; sometimes the layouts get screwed up to where the reset doesn't work (or it messed up some other portion of the forge display), the easiest way is to quit forge, rename the user data folder, and restart forge. Then copy any game files you need over to the new user data folder forge created.
