    Hello,

    My game recently crashed and it decided to reinstall itself (is this normal?)

    Beyond that, the main issue now is that my resolution seems to be off. I've tried tooling around with the settings to get it back to what I used to have, but that only gives me a pink screen (windowed mode) with the game in the top left corner. I tried alt+enter and back but it doesn't work.

    At present, my game looks like this:

    I am not sure how to make the interfaces scale back to a smaller size...!

    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated :) thanks in advance!

    Define "reinstall itself" please?
    Did it return to its stock settings? If so, it's possible that some setting file got corrupted when it crashed, so it started with fresh ones.

    For the interface, try following this:

    But press the 'Reset' button

    You can manually resize the interface apps

    Thank you both for the replies - I was loading a second vehicle and the screen for BeamNG turned black. Several error messages popped up on the top left corner, i.e. instability detected in xyz part (paraphrased). Upon attempting to unpause, the messages continue to flood the left corner and I closed the game. Upon restarting my laptop the next morning, I attempted to open BeamNG and was told by Steam to "install game", which I did.

    I don't believe resetting the UI apps as it seems to be an issue of resolution - the pause button etc all scale down when I make the window smaller. Is there by chance any other settings?

    Thank you again!

    There's an UI Resolution Limiter in the Options > Graphics menu.
    It will cap the UI resolution to a certain one, even if you use higher resolution.
    It will also cause everything UI related to appear bigger, since it won't scale down with the resolution.

    Default is 1920x1080. It's not recommended to disable it, unless you know what you are doing.
