Strange window pops up when running fullscreen Windows build

Unity Engine
1

We’re having issues with a few of our builds, where a strange screen will show up for a few seconds, between the config dialog window and the actual game (or before the actual game runs, if there’s no config dialog shown).

It’s not 100% reproducible, but it seems to happen when running fullscreen in Windows builds. It’s been happening on different projects, on different machines (all of which were running Windows) for maybe a couple months now, sporadically.

It shows a black screen, and a little white window with the project name in it (see attached screenshot)

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks

I’m seeing this too on both Windows and Linux but not on Mac. I also have the display dialog hidden.

We have narrowed it down somewhat:

  • Tried deleting objects within the scene, still occurred
  • Tried deleting assets from the project, still occurred
  • Tried changing some player settings, still occurred
  • Made an entirely new project and built an empty scene, still occurred
  • Tried building an entirely new project/scene from a computer running a different version of Unity (4.5.5f as opposed to our normal version 4.6.0b20), it did NOT occur anymore
  • Builds that were made with 4.6.0b20 only had the issue occur if they were run at full screen, AND on the primary display (not on the non-primary display if you’re using more than one monitor)

So it would appear that this issue was introduced somewhere in the 4.6 beta.

Not really. I experience the issue and I’m on 4.5.4f1. Haven’t installed 4.6 yet.

What about 4.5.5? @Manny_Calavera

I haven’t installed 4.5.5 yet.

But apparently the pop-up turns into a splash screen :smile:
