You can now adjust the size of your interface from the settings page. This is especially handy if you're using a smaller screen - in the last update, some of your alt characters might’ve been cut off, making them hard to access quickly. With UI scaling, you can resize everything so it fits your screen perfectly.
Here’s a quick, bite-sized explanation of why we made some changes to the UI - just in case you’re curious. If not, feel free to skip this part.
The quick action buttons (like the map and "nearby") were often missed by players. Even though they were front and center, they didn’t follow the natural flow of the app - a lot of people check the navigation list first before looking around. By moving these buttons into the main navigation, they should now feel more natural and easier to find, especially for new players. The down side is that this change may disrupt the existing flow, so it might take a few days to get used to.
Switching characters in the old menu felt clunky. It was in a separate pop-up that didn’t flow well with the rest of the page - and it was slow to load when doing it in quick succession. We’ve now placed your characters at the top of the screen, so switching is quicker, smoother, and feels like a more natural part of the experience.
The UI elements were just too big. They didn’t match the rest of the app and made it hard for us to add new feature - because the page would become too long and awkward to scroll. We’ve resized things to make room for more features in the future.
We hope these changes will:
Performance improvements. You might notice the game feels faster now, especially if you live far from London (where our servers are based). For example, players in Indonesia are seeing pages load about 45% faster on average.
