Wrong position of TextMeshPro in a 2D Game

[josericardojr]

Hi everyone,

I’m using the TextMeshPro for displaying the total points of a user. However, I’m getting some sort of error regarding its position.

When looking in the Game view tab, it looks correct, as the image below.

However, when looking in the Simulator window (which I believe is the correct one), it looks wrong.

By the way, the Game view represents the exact position I’ve used in the editor. Additionally, I’m using the Screen Space Overlay as the render mode for canvas.

Does anyone can help me to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!

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

Inconsistent game object placement/size between two people

It can be very fiddly but it is super-powerful once you reach comfort with the UI. Building upon Praetor’s great post above, let me suggest this approach: make a quick first draft of your UI. in the Unity game window change the shape / dimensions of your Game window (you can even make your own resolutions) see what happens to your UI in this new shape window iterate and fix your anchors and scalings and whatnot Make sure you do not overlook the Canvas Scaler settings. Personally I (almost) …

SOLVED: Game UI Button Size problem

That seems excessive… What is the text of the actual complaint from them? Make something like this with a fixed aspect ratio (in this case 2:1, maybe you need 3:1 or whatever suits your buttons), and ALL your buttons anchored inside it to never move within that box: [7337383--891847--fixed_aspect_ratio_box.png] then anchor that fixed against the bottom center (red dot below). On the ipad it looks like: [7337383--891850--ipad.png] on the iPhone it looks like: [7337383--891853--iphonex.pn…

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.

The 2D feature set does not include UI. I’ll move your post the UGUI/TextMeshPro forum. Please use that for this feature.

Thanks.
