How do u fix the interface size if it's all the way zoomed in?
I was playing around with the settings and i accidentally set the size of the interface menu all the way zoomed in and now i'm sad because i dont know how to fix it. And, i can't even click Cancel, Apply, or OK. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SITUATION. If you can help me PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE HELP ME. I have to start not playing this because of the stupid settings fronteir were able to make people zoom in or zoom out. My pupose of this is to let Frontier know that i want a update to where the interface stays at 100%, and not let people be able to go to 200%. IM MAD RN I FEEL SCUICIDAL BECAUS EHTIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME FOR SCENERY.

If possible. Try and change your monitor resolution to 1280x760 or something. You may be able to navigate. -just a thought.

Close the game.
Go to this folder:
"%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Planet Coaster\Config_Local"
And edit one of the configuration files that has the value GUI scale in it. Change the value to 1.000000 and restart the game.

Hey, I'm having the same issue.

Except I don't have to Config_Local folder. Any idea what to do?
Joël Feb 8, 2020 @ 9:41am 
You must have a Config_Local folder somewhere, because the game wouldn’t work correctly without it.

Thank you for saving me from the embarrassment of having to ask (I've got the same problem)

I am using an Nvidia Shield and I having this issue with GeForce Now cloud PC. I dont seem to have an access to use the Launch options as when i try to use -windowed or -autoconfig to try to resolve it doesnt appear to use it. Also i tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no change and finally i saw that there is a local files option however when i click to vie files nothing happens. i guess Geforce now has locked it down. Please can anyone help me?

RESOLVED - thought some might want to know my resolution
Ok this took me a while to find but the issue was that steam kept on auto changing the resolution so that i just slightly couldn't change the options as the option to apply was offscreen. I had to go into the Geforce now settings and disable all the autoswitching of the resolution to account for bandwidth and force it to set a higher resolution such as 1920x1080 and so i could then amend the settings in the game again
long shot anyone replying but i don't know what else to do and saw you had similar issues
my game is super zoomed in too and i cant find the folder
"%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Planet Coaster\Config_Local"
or anything like that ti change the settings is there anything i can do now to try and get the files back on my pc

Open file explorer in windows (it's the little folder icon on the taskbar).
Click on local disk C: .
At top top of page click on view tab.
At the top right you should see a check box for hidden items check it.
You should now be able to find and double click on users then double click on the folder with your user name then appdata, local, frontier developments, planet coaster, config local. There you will find the config files to edit them right click and open with notepad. If you mess them up you can delete one or all of them and the game will rewrite them on the next game start.

So was having the same issue and have just found a way to fix it.

I have Nvidia Geforce Experience (i believe that Radeon Software is the same?) and through this you can adjust the game settings before launching the game.

For me the issue was my monitor is 4K (a TV in my living room) so this is the resolution the game wanted to play in for the zoom level to be "right". I set the resolution in Geforce Experience to 3840 x 2160 and then the size of the interface was right when I started the game.

The next issue was the game didn't run well at that resolution. To get around this, in the in game settings I changed the interface scaling by going to Settings > Interface > adjusting the slider to 160%. This made the interface very small but I could then change the resolution back to 1080 x 1920 and everything was the "right" size again and would run well.

Your settings might be different to mine but the method for changing it should still work.
