Camera view differs from Unity Game View Finished Build

Unity Engine
1

When I build my finished product, the camera view differs from what is shown within Unity 3D. Anyone know why this is happening?

I am using the latest version of Unity3D 3.x with iOS. When I build it, compile it in Xcode and ship to my iPhone, the finished camera view is different than that shown in Unity3D.

You need to make your game window taller. Unity doesn’t scale it when you choose a specific resolution. If you want it to be scaled, then you need to choose an aspect ratio, not a specific resolution.

Thanks, that fixed it. I wasn’t aware of that.

It’s a little frustrating when you’re building on a MacBook Pro w/ retina, and the native resolution is smaller than some of the iOS devices. Even when setting my desktop to non-native retina and forcing it to a 1920x1200 (highest it will go without a hack), I can’t fit a retina iPad or an iPhone 5 Game window to scale.

I’d hope Unity has addressed this in Unity 4 or in a future update. Should be able to scale the window by factors such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 etc.

Thanks again for the tip.
