fullscreen image scaling issue

[spring current]

ok, thanks

[warped mortar]

so, you should first make sure the build is actually working properly

do this by making some obvious change to your game and then building

like moving stuff around, changing font color, whatever

Also, what version of Unity was this, again?

[spring current]

I have literally everything on windowed 1920x1080 and even in cavnas, I just don't get why
2020.3.38f1

[warped mortar]

@spring current navarone just wants you to make some large, obvious change to the game before you build it

If that large change doesn't appear, then something is going wrong with the build.

[brave ginkgo]

@spring current reply here, also read these ^

[spring current]

I don't know what is wrong with the build, and right now when I try to build it, this appears

[warped mortar]

Look at the first error in the console.

I see one about a missing "Player" prefab, which suggests you've deleted the player prefab.

[spring current]

BUt I haven't deleted player prefab

I haven't deleated anything

[brave ginkgo]

weird..clear console and try again

also u still didnt change a color on font just to test lol

[warped mortar]

This missing prefab could be in any of your scenes. Perhaps it's just in one of them.

[spring current]

what color on font?

[brave ginkgo]

doesnt matter

something u can recognize as changed, so we know for sure its a clean build

[warped mortar]

Literally any major change.

Given that the build is failing, I don't think your previous build worked either.

[spring current]

I never deleate player prefab anywhere, I just don't get why i'ts acting like that

[warped mortar]

Just check each scene, please. You'd see a red icon in the hierarchy

(and "Missing!", I think)

[spring current]

I know that but I don't get why it says it have missing prefabs even though I never had them before

[warped mortar]

So there is a missing prefab?

[spring current]

I always had them like this and everything works fine, so I don't get why it says it have missing prefabs right now

what am I suppsoed to do?

[warped mortar]

That doesn't answer my question. I just need a yes or no.

So you do have a missing prefab?

[spring current]

it looks like it, but I never had these name prefabs before

[warped mortar]

Screenshot the hierarchy.

[warped mortar]

There are no missing prefabs in view here.

This would be a missing prefab.

I forgot what it looked like. Normal icon, red text

My bad.

[brave ginkgo]

boss scene

it says

[spring current]

oh, let me have a look at it

[warped mortar]

oh, there we go

always good to look at the first errors, see!

[spring current]

oh now it's building

[warped mortar]

Usually, error 1 is the reason errors 2 through 2000 happened

[spring current]

it's the boss scene that is acting like this so I remove the scene from build settings

but I still don't know how to fix this issue

[brave ginkgo]

where is the change you made that we supposed to look at to tell its a new build

[warped mortar]

Again, you must make a large, obvious change to your game

we need proof that it's building correctly

It doesn't matter what it is, but you must make it.

Changing the color of something on the start screen would be enough.

[spring current]

I deleted the scenes and add them again here in build settings and then I click on build and run

[warped mortar]

We cannot help you until you do this.

[brave ginkgo]

yes put How to Play to black text or something

[warped mortar]

So please just humor us

We are trying to help you.

I've done this more than a few times when dealing with weird problems.

[spring current]

I deleted the scenes again in build settings and added in them again and then build and run it but it's still the same. I don't get what change I'm suppsoed to do

[warped mortar]

We know. That doesn't mean you did what we asked.

[brave ginkgo]

i keep telling you what to change..

[spring current]

I did what you asked for, the canvas, the image, the build settings

[brave ginkgo]

lets focus on the first scene that loads, instead of this one

the menu

again. just change the How to play text to blac.. not that diffcult

build and show build so we know for a fact its building new

[warped mortar]

Are you reading what we are writing? #1157690201225830491 message

I'm getting a little frustrated here.

[spring current]

the white there is not a text, is a drawing

[warped mortar]

Okay. Now we are getting somewhere.

If you can't easily change that, then just add a button or something.

[brave ginkgo]

ahh

or hide the slider or something, ANYTHING Obvious

[spring current]

it's not the buttons or the slider or anything, I don't get whyt ehre's black fonts there like this and the background image is all stretched out to the black fonts

[warped mortar]

We are trying to check if the game is building correctly.

[brave ginkgo]

aslo that last screenshot is the canvas for World one scene

[warped mortar]

Changing a random thing on the start screen will not fix your problem

[brave ginkgo]

did you change it also for the Menu scene (canvas scaler)

[warped mortar]

We are just ruling things out

[spring current]

I did

[brave ginkgo]

ok good, now hide the slider

and try to build again

[spring current]

the slider is a volume setting

[warped mortar]

it doesn't matter what it does

[brave ginkgo]

dont matter

[warped mortar]

again

we are simply proving that the game is building correctly

the change is irrelevant

you could delete the start button

you could make literally any obvious change

this is not an attempt to fix your problem

[spring current]

ok, I hide it, then what?

[warped mortar]

build the game

run the game

[spring current]

why must I delete everything?

[brave ginkgo]

lol this would be literally the first step and we're struggling

is this real life

[warped mortar]

Yes or no: Do you understand why I asked you to do this: #1157690201225830491 message

I want a "yes" or "no" answer.

[spring current]

I don't know how to answer that

[warped mortar]

So, no.

[brave ginkgo]

good enough

now build n run

[warped mortar]

We think your issue might be caused by your game's settings.

You can't easily see if you changed the settings correctly in the game. The settings aren't obvious.

If the game is not building correctly, you might be playing an old version of your game.

Since the settings are not obvious, it might be hard to tell you are playing an old version of your game.

So, we want to make an obvious change, to make it easy to tell if we are playing an old version of your game.

[warped mortar]

Okay, good, so it built correctly.

We now know that you're playing a new version of your game.

[brave ginkgo]

step one finally complete

[spring current]

ok

[warped mortar]

Is that background animated?

[spring current]

yes

[warped mortar]

It looks very different from what you have in the editor.

[brave ginkgo]

this is Window mode ye?

[warped mortar]

I'm not quite sure how that works on macOS (despite using macOS exclusively)

[spring current]

I am on mac

[warped mortar]

I know that games can either go fullscreen to get a dedicated desktop

or be windowed

[warped mortar]

You have its fullscreen mode set to "Windowed". Is the game appearing in a window on your desktop?

[brave ginkgo]

I know lol I meant you selected Windowed right

[warped mortar]

ah, that answers the question

[spring current]

yeah I did selected windowed and 1920x1080

[warped mortar]

let's try something

[brave ginkgo]

Im guessing your mac is not 16:9

[warped mortar]

set the target resolution to 1280x720

i would like to see how it looks

[brave ginkgo]

causing some letterboxig

[warped mortar]

The problem is that the image isn't 16:9 here

it's more like 2.4:1

(i measured it)

I am wondering if the window is going off the edges of the screne.

[brave ginkgo]

did you like double click this window or something?

[warped mortar]

that is, the resolution in the Project Settings.

[spring current]

here's how the resoultion looks like

[warped mortar]

I would like you to change the resolution in the Project Settings, so that the window fits entirely on your screen. 1280x720 should be fine.

[brave ginkgo]

true

just feel like the mac native res is prob not 16:9 so maybe they stretching the window

im gonna try something out , just hopped on my test mac

[brave ginkgo]

i feel like this section also matters sometimes

Match mode etc.

[spring current]

wait, when I look at your screenshot and then at mine...

[warped mortar]

That’s probably just because you’re several major versions behind

[spring current]

I mean if you look at the two screenshots, what do you see the difference?

[brave ginkgo]

yeah its probably because ur on 2020

[spring current]

NO I mean when I look at your screenshot and then at Mine, I realised something, I put 1080 on X and 1920 on Y instead

[brave ginkgo]

yes they're reversed

proper rez is 1920 x 1080

here is my 1080p canvas

1920 x 1080 Windowed

If I press green button to force fullscreen on it, only slight black bars

[spring current]

is this how 1280x720 supposed to look like?

[brave ginkgo]

where these screenshots from ?

a build?

also where did you change 720p

[spring current]

on both canvas resolution and player settings

[brave ginkgo]

export and see if it comes out 720p

[spring current]

how do I export it?

[brave ginkgo]

the same way you been doing it..Build

[spring current]

is it 720p?

[brave ginkgo]

look good now

getting close

hmmm I thinking putting wrong resolution in canvas might've messed with the look as well

when you did 1080 x 1920

[brave ginkgo]

yes. now do the canvas scaler to 1920 x 1080

build and try again

[spring current]

alright

so 1920x1080 or 1280x720

[brave ginkgo]

they're both 16:9

pick whichever you think will be the main base rez

[spring current]

alirght

[warped mortar]

oh! I missed that entirely

That'll do it

[spring current]

ok
