Settings with Oxygen Not Included

Not sure if this is the right area to be writing so pardon. 

Sorry for typos, I'm using a phone. 

So I just bought ONI and I loaded up the game. Smooth but then I get to the menu screen. I decided to go into settings to see if I could change the graphics in any way. And then I spotted something with I think it was called UiC or something like that. So I turned the setting all the way up and it zoombed everything on the screen in. I didn't like this and didn't know what the original number was so I just clicked the X in hopes that it would revert back. Nope. So now I only see the name, the three bars saying forums updates and something else. I also see the new game button and a sliver of the load game button. No setting button in sight. So I click new game. after loading in a normal sized screen I get shown a zoombed in version of the second of the three starter people. And I can't even see the next button to click on. So now this game is unplayable! I would love some help. it would be nice if it could be anything but reinstalling the game though I understand if that's the only option. I myself couldn't find a file to fix it though I am no hacker man. Thanks for reading :(.

That is for setting the size of the text and the icons I believe, if you slide it you should instantly see things change size, I only really use it if I change screen resolutions, or, if I can't find my glasses

This has been brought up before on the forums, but I can't seem to find the thread - have a look at the bug tracker section, but you may have to wade through it a bit. Good luck

I just had a good hunt around my system. Apparently Unity games can store application settings in your system registry.

I've just tested and you can reset your scaling by deleting a settings key from the registry.

 

Close the game and type regedit in the Windows Start Menu to load up the Registry Editor,

The registry key for UI scaling is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Klei/Oxygen Not Included

Look for a DWORD entry named something like UIScalePref_ and delete that key.

Start your game and the UI should be back to default.

 

If you are not comfortable with Windows registry I recommend caution and perhaps trying a reinstall of the game first.
