MacOS bug -- no UI & windowed mode

[aethereal]

So two days ago I was playing CoH normally, logged off for the night, no crash.  64 bit client on MacOS Mojave.

 

Then yesterday I start my client again and it starts up in windowed mode.  That's weird, it's always been full-screen, but NBD.  I log in as normal, select my character, get my normal loading screen, and...  I get in, but have no interface.  I see my character, I can see the "world," but no ui.  It responds to keyboard commands as usual in terms of movement etc.

 

I have tried ctrl-U, which I understand to be the shortcut to hide the UI.  No change.

 

Pressing M or C to bring up the map and chat windows does nothing.

 

This happens on all my characters and on both servers I've played on (Indom & Everlasting).

 

Okay, so, whatever, right?  I delete the client, delete island rum.  Redownload island rum, have it redownload the client.

 

Same thing:  I start in windowed mode, no game UI once I'm in the game.

 

I uninstalled wine and reinstalled wine.  Same thing.

 

I'm baffled.  This seems like it has to be a client-side issue, but I have no idea how it could have survived deletion of the application, island rum, and wine.  Anyone have any ideas?

Huh, it wasn't the client -- somehow windowed mode got turned on in the server settings, which apparently my computer Does Not Deal Well With.  But I was able to turn it back off from the login-screen UI settings, which I had forgotten existed.  Once I turned the in-game settings back to a fixed resolution instead of windowed mode, my game UI returned.
