Aspect Ratio Issue On Build

I've been working on this 2 d project and it requires a set 14:8 aspect ratio because all of the levels are 14 blocks by 8 blocks. I have it set to 14:8 in the game view so when I test it it looks fine.
But, when I build it it scales up to fit the window. This is a problem because when the player goes out of certain boundaries, it stops which looks weird when the screen is wider. I have tried messing around with the resolution and presentation window in player settings (e.g. making it full screen on default, resolution 1400 : 800, changing supported aspect ratios) but nothing worked. I know i could probably set the boundaries wider but it might still look weird on different computers. Also I would preferably not change all the levels to make them 16 : 10 or something. Is there any way to make it look somewhat like the 1st picture on build? Thanks!

 

I have somewhat of a cheat for this, I'm not sure where I got it, but it is something I use when I want fast results. No matter what it will override the camera and add black bars for screens that don't support the resolution. Just change targetaspect to 14.0 / 8.0 and you should be good to go! Then attach this script to your camera.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;
5. using UnityEngine;
6.  
7. public class CameraAspect : MonoBehaviour {
8.  
9.    // Use this for initialization
10.    void Start () {
11.        // set the desired aspect ratio (the values in this example are
12.        // hard-coded for 16:9, but you could make them into public
13.        // variables instead so you can set them at design time)
14.        float targetaspect = 16.0f / 9.0f;
15.        
16.        // determine the game window's current aspect ratio
17.        float windowaspect = (float)Screen.width / (float)Screen.height;
18.        
19.        // current viewport height should be scaled by this amount
20.        float scaleheight = windowaspect / targetaspect;
21.        
22.        // obtain camera component so we can modify its viewport
23.        Camera camera = GetComponent<Camera>();
24.        
25.        // if scaled height is less than current height, add letterbox
26.        if (scaleheight < 1.0f)
27.        {  
28.            Rect rect = camera.rect;
29.            
30.            rect.width = 1.0f;
31.            rect.height = scaleheight;
32.            rect.x = 0;
33.            rect.y = (1.0f - scaleheight) / 2.0f;
34.            
35.            camera.rect = rect;
36.        }
37.        else // add pillarbox
38.        {
39.            float scalewidth = 1.0f / scaleheight;
40.            
41.            Rect rect = camera.rect;
42.            
43.            rect.width = scalewidth;
44.            rect.height = 1.0f;
45.            rect.x = (1.0f - scalewidth) / 2.0f;
46.            rect.y = 0;
47.            
48.            camera.rect = rect;
49.        }
50.    }
51.    
52.    
53. }
54.  
55.  

Hope this helps!

 

It works great. Thanks!

 

No problem! Glad to help

 

Here is a semi-finished product if you are interested

Nice man! I got stuck on lvl 6! Enjoying the variation of mechanics!

 

You're a life saver. I was going crazy because I thought I wasn't going to be able to upload my game that I've worked really hard on. Thanks to you this quick fix was exactly what I needed. From bottom of my heart thank you, friend.
