I am creating a game (it's actually more of an application/useful software than a game) which needs to be run on multiple monitors, where all monitors are potentially different resolutions.
In the example below, you can see the primary monitor (far left) rendering a full screen camera view, just as it should. There are two other cameras set to render to monitor 2 and 3. These are activated with Display.displays [1].Activate (1600, 900, 50); (so as to set their resolutions to 1600x900).
The issue is that Unity appears to be offsetting the camera rendering so that it does not originate from the top left of the screen, but rather some way down the window. The grey area shows the area where the image is missing.
When running in the editor, the cameras render each window perfectly with no strange offsetting/cropping.
What do I need to do in order to get the standalone output to render the correct, uncropped/offset image in each of the windows, please?
If I make the resolution of all monitors the same, it renders exactly as it should do:
Annoyingly, this seems to be a bug with Unity version 5.3.x. It seems to be fixed in 5.4.x [See Bug Report Here] (I have downloaded the beta and tested it - I can confirm this to be true!). However, 5.4.x is currently in beta and you can only access it if you have Unity Pro.

Here is my issue, the way my game works is that you click on the edges of the screen to navigate. This is done through an Overlay Canvas using OnPointerClick. I colored the navigation areas, and scale the canvas according to screen size and the navigation areas appear on their screen as they should. Yet they CANNOT click any of the elements for some reason. They have another monitor that works without issue. They've noted that their larger monitor is AMD. I've also confirmed that the ability to navigate in game has not been hindered. I have never had this issue (or any other testers) on 1920x1080 monitors.
I have completely exhausted what the issue can be, they cannot even navigate on a bare bones tutorial. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
Here is an image of their screen and the respective clickable navigation areas.

Put a Image component without sprite, because without that, you will not detect any click. You can set the alpha to 0 after you see that working.
Also check the anchors of the navigation areas.
Im trying to build a replica of the game 'Breakout'.
when i build and run the game in unity it looks good and everything id the correct scale but when i build and run the project on my laptop all the elements change size and some of the elements dont change size and i am not sure if i have done anything wrong or if i have forgotten to do something to stop it from changing.
This is what the game looks like in the unity editor when playing the game:
And this is what it looks like once i build and run the project on my computer:
My resolution is set to stand alone.
is there a way to get it to look like it does in the unity editor when i build and run it on my computer because that is what its supposed to look like.
These days, there are many different screen sizes, and resolutions.
My favorite solution is to use a reference resolution that can expand but never shrink. This allows you to have a safe zone that stays consistent across different screen sizes. For a generic case, you would use 16:9 aspect ratio, with the resolution of either 1280x720 or 1920x1080.
In Unity, on your canvas, modify the Canvas Scaler such that UI Scale Mode is set to Scale with Screen Size. Add your reference resolution, and set the Screen Match Mode to Expand.
In the Game tab you can preview what 16:9 looks like. You can try out other aspect ratios or resolutions.
For example, the iPhone 11 has a much wider resolution, so it expands horizontally. It's up to you to design your UI in a way that makes sense. You can either keep everything in the safe zone or align elements to the corners of the screen.
I'm a newbie to Unity and am learning. I've made my first game which is a simple platformer, along with a main menu. The game also has some text GUI elements. When I run it in Unity's built-in player, the GUI looks fine, but when I build the project and run the game using the .exe, the UI is scaled down.
I'm attaching some screenshots below to clarify this.
(As seen in Unity player)
(As seen in game)
Also, the game UI also looks scaled down:

I want the in-game UI to be exactly like the one seen in the Unity player.
How do I fix this?
The Canvas can be set to scale with different settings if you want it to be accurate you should choose:
-Scale With Screen Size
Using the Scale With Screen Size mode, positions and sizes can be specified according to the pixels of a specified reference resolution. If the current screen resolution is larger than the reference resolution, the Canvas will keep having only the resolution of the reference resolution, but will scale up in order to fit the screen. If the current screen resolution is smaller than the reference resolution, the Canvas will similarly be scaled down to fit.
1- Go to your Canvas and select the Scale With Screen Size option
2- After that, make sure that the Reference Resolution is the same as the Game Window resolution in your Unity layout, I leave here an example:
As you can see, the resolution set on my Game window is (1024x768) and the reference resolution of the Canvas too.
Currently I am working on a Unity project. I started it on version 2018.3.6f1. The other day I installed version 2019.3.0a2 and this changed the screen size so now I have a white background at each side.
If I try going back to the size I had using the scale tool, it does not work so what do you recommend to change my screen size correctly or change it to its original one?
Here is a representation of my problem:

This is related to a setting you can change from the top bar of the Game window, it effectively sets the screen size emulation within the editor to different values, it looks like you want to have 'Free' mode, but you can also check behaviours in any other resolution
I am using the ViewportHandler script for Unity(https://github.com/dfsp-spirit/way2close/blob/master/Way2Close/Assets/Scripts/ViewportHandler.cs), to allow for my UI to appear the same in different resolutions. I am pretty sure that it was looking just fine and pretty much the same in all resolutions(with different quality graphics due to stretching, but that is fine).
I have opened up my project after a while and I am now noticing that while the game scene looks fine inside the editor, the UI elements change position for all resolutions when building the game.
I am attaching two screenshots to show the difference. The Editor one is the proper one where elements are aligned properly. The other one is when I am building the game and running it full screen.
The weird thing is that when building the game, every resolution displays the wrong way (as in picture 1). So the elements are actually resizing properly, but they are just in the wrong place for some reason and I really can't see why. Any ideas ?
(My Canvas is Screen Space - Overlay, Scale with Screen Size, Ref resolution is 2560/1440, Match width and height and ref pixels 100).
You don't need 3rd party scripts to achieve a constant size on different resolutions. Use the Canvas Scaler component on your canvas and set it to 'Constant Physical Size'. Unity should handle all the rest.
If images/sprites change position, try to change the anchor point to fit your needs.
