Bug Red Xs instead of UI

Hey everyone-

I was making some UI in my Unity project and then when I turned on "Scale with screen size" the buttons just turned into red Xs for some reason! The buttons don't exist when you hit the play button. When I set the canvas to "constant pixel size", everything is okay again!


(UI when I set "scale with screen size".)

Oddly enough, when I build, the UI is there, unlike in play mode. My main problem is that I kinda need to be able to see the buttons to move them.

My online searches didn't show anything helpful.

Thanks for answers in advance!

 

Hello there,
Could you provide a capture of the UI elements that have that happen(before and after)?Generally that red X shows when the size of a rect is negative in any axis. Did you set a value matching the Game window resolution you are using?

 

Here are some notes on UI Anchoring, Scaling, CanvasScaler, etc:

Usually you need to choose a suitable ScaleMode and MatchMode in the Canvas Scaler and stick with it 100%. Generally if you change those settings you will often need to redo your UI entirely.

I also use this

CanvasScalerOrientationDriver

utility to make sharing UI for Landscape / Portrait easier. Read what it does carefully.
