Question Game view scale won't go lower than 1.3x in 16/9 display mode

Hello,

I don't know when this started but for some reason, the display scale won't go lower than 1.3x in game view when i set it to a ratio like 16/9 and it looks terrible. If i specify a resolution instead, i can drop it down to 1x or even lower but it's not practical. Is there a fix?

Thanks

 

That scale slider's range changes dynamically with (for what I know):

• the size of the editor window
• the size of the game view within the editor window
• the desktop screen resolution
• the aspect ratio and game resolution (as you noticed)

Try changing the size of the game view first to see how that affects the available value range of the slider.

 

I thought about that but no matter the size of the game view, the available scale settings are the same.

 

Interestingly, when I lock it to 16:9 aspect the scale slider (at least the lower end) sticks to 1x no matter the size of the view or window.

What your desktop resolution set to?

 

My two main screen are 2560x1440. My computer is also connected to a 1920p Wacom graphic tablet and a 4k TV, both of which are currently turned on and disabled in Windows.

 

Hmmm ... maybe it gets confused with the multiple monitors/resolutions. Or maybe the editor window stretches into one of the other screens just a little bit and that messes it up? Maybe also try restarting the editor.

I made a 32:9 aspect ratio like my monitor and that still defaults to 1x no matter how I resize the editor or view.

 

I don't think so, i always run the editor Unity's Window in fullscreen, so it can't be overflowing on another monitor, and i've had this screen configuration for years.

 

Am i the only one having this issue? I met with my graphic designer last weekend and it was working fine on the same project.

Edit: Got it, it was because i had "Low resolution aspect ratio" checked. Not sure if this is the expected behavior though.

 

I just had this issue, but in my case the problem was Scale in the Windows 11 Display Settings, which makes sense to interfere as it's a system wide setting. It was set to 125%, which low-capped the Scale of the window to 1.3.

 

I had this problem, but get it corrected changing the renderer from hight dynamic range, to low dynamic range. after that I can change it to hight dinamic range and the problem didn't appear again.

 

I met the same problem, and searching for solution, but not found yet

 

Oh! I coincidently find the solution: close the game window , and reopen it. Hope it works for you

 

I just reported a bug on this issue: "IN-59677 - UI Scaling affects Game Scale".

In the Editor Preferences, if UI Scaling value is higher than 100%, it forces the Game view Scale to change on play.
