Different displayed results in different computers

Questions & Answers

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know why the images displayed in my stand-alone application are displayed with different qualities in different computers. Before every quality setting is set to the highest value the difference was ver big but now (after resetting them) I can still appreciate a difference in the quality. Notice that this happens not only on my application but also with Unity’s Splash Image (I’m working on the free version).

I’ve added some images for you to see what I’m speaking about. First is the case without any problem (best results) and last the worst results scenario.

Without the problem:

With the problem:

[11058-with+problem.png|11058]

You can see that the result in the images and also the letters are not the same. I hope you can help me solve this issue and to get the best result in every computer since I don’t think that displaying preloaded images o letters require specific hardware.

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys,

I finally was able to solve the problem. I thank you all for your help.

Three steps needed to be done, in order to have the same results in both computers. The first thing was to set the variable “Texture Type” of every image’s Import setting to “GUI”, and the “Format” variable to “Truecolor”. This minor change improved incredibly the way all images were displayed.

I also realized that the only font used in the GUI that was looking blurry was the Arial font (Unity’s default font, I presume). After that, I added the Arial’s source (.ttf) and replaced it on the GUI skin.

All the previous steps got me to the following result:

Great improvement but still not perfect (look at the cube). I then checked the second PC’s (the one that was showing differently) Graphic card’s information and it’s driver:
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 2000. Driver: Intel HD Graphics Family, from 26/6/2011, version 8.15.10.2430.
I replaced it with the version 9.17.10.2932 (12/12/2012. After doing this I got the following results:

Which was the result I was looking for. I thank you all for your input. They all made possible for me to solve this issue.

Best regards,
