    Hi there,

    The setting - Constant Physical Size doesn't work in the canvas scaler in Unity 2020.3 LTS
    I created test scenes going back in Unity versions and the last working one was Unity 2019.4
    Are there any work arounds or other ways to approach this? I really need it to work for part of my project.
    I tried this - https://forum.unity.com/threads/ple...e-constant-physical-size.281161/#post-6644620 and couldn't get that to work either.

    Update - It seems that on anything after 2019.4 LTS, the iPad reports 0 for Debug.Log(Screen.dpi) :(

    Thanks,
    Pete

    You mentioned the Canvas Scaler, are you using UGUI with Canvas? If yes this is not the right forum but I can move your post over if you can confirm.

    Oh okay, I thought UGUI was UIToolkit. :)
    I hadn’t realised there was another UI system.
    If you could move it, that would be great thanks.

    Does it work elsewhere and just not on device? as in the Screen.dpi is wrong?

    Hi! Looks like it’s screen.dpi reporting zero on iPad, it’s fine on other devices that I’ve tested. Also it used to work back in 2019 LTS so somethings gone funny along the way.

    What you say iPad could you be a bit more specific? There are many different versions which have different handling. Give me a much as you can so i can pass it onto our iOS team.

    Oops sorry!
    iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation)
    iOS 14.4
    That device should report zero for Screen dpi in anything after 2019 LTS.

    So good news it was already known about and has been fixed. I'm verifying they are backporting but the "issue" is that the device is too new and hadn't been added to our list of devices with resolutions.
