Offsets on 'odd' screen size - mean buttons not visible

[ArnoldStirrup]

On an 'odd' screen resolution of 2340 x 1080, the main screen is central (landscape) with black bars down either side.
The in flight buttons 'fire' missiles etc are in the wrong position and not all are visible, the area to press for these buttons is (probably) in the right place, so not where the buttons are showing.
Also the laser fire is offset (to right) of the crosshair.
On planet, the right hand bar is only 1/3 showing.

I suspect that some offsets are using phones physical screen edges and some are not.

I've noticed this as well. Here's how the game looks when launched on my Xiaomi Mi9T:

The black bars on the left and the right seem to be simmetrical, but the ingame interface seems to be shifted to the left a bit (the spacing on the right, and the icon cut on the left):

The ingame menu looks fine:

However, if I set "Immersion" to "Full", the ingame interface shifts to the left more strongly:

The touch area of the buttons is not where the buttons are, but to the right of each button, meaning that only the sprites are misaligned.

The menu, on the other hand, is shifted to the right:

Then, if I go to the setting, and enable "Fullscreen" mode for this particular app, the ingame interface is shifted to the left even more:

However this fixes the menu:

All in all this game seems playable with immersive mode toggled off, and fulscreen mode disabled in the settings, but it would be nice if we could get rid of black bars, and position the buttons correctly.

Hi @andreyorst,

I've continued the development of this great work here https://github.com/merkinth/Alite, after Philipp has been out of it.
I propose download the latest app version (1.6.2) and its data file from the forum https://alite2020.iftopic.com/t2-beta-version-is-released. It contains lots of major and minor fixes (I believe including this one) and I've also added many new features, too.
The most noticeable ones are the Achievements feature, extension the number of galaxies from 8 to 249 and the assisted docking, this last one is mainly for newbies.

Happy flying!

Thanks for letting me know, and for your continued efforts on improving alite! Are you planning on releasing it on fdroid/google play?

Well, I'd like to but I can't do it nowadays. I don't have any time for that even I have an enormous long list of ideas, but alone I don't have any chance to achieve them. :(

I see thanks. Also, I've tried your beta version and it seems to have the same issue with interface offset as per this issue ticket
