Capture Single Screen Mac alternative ?

Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have been developing Unity applications for big screen shows (Magic, Concert … ) with my company, and I am currently confronted to a most annoying problem. It is a problem often spoken of, yet I haven’t found any solution for my particular needs.
Here is the current situation :

  • I have a Mac Pro, connected to several displays (one or more).
  • I want the Unity application to play on one of them in fullscreen
  • I need to modify xml files manually on the other screen.

Having written scripts to modify game window I can do this while playing my application in the editor. But it’s in the editor. I want to do it with a mac application. And I can’t because the capture single screen is no longer supported. I get a Black screen whatever I do.

The secret is the mysterious “Capture Single Screen” toggle.

What it means is “do not capture the other screens”.

It is incredibly buggy so you never know what will happen in different Unity versions.
