Game view appears extremely pixelated but scene view is fine

Question

This is a problem that just started today. I have been going through the Unity tutorials with no issues, but today when I opened a new blank project, any game object I place in the scene looks as expected in scene view but completely pixelated in game view*. I have seen other posts mention anti-aliasing, but I haven't changed any of the default settings for a new project, which include 2x Multi Sampling for the Anti-Aliasing property in quality settings.

Does anyone have any other ideas about what could be causing this? Many thanks in advance!

tried to upload a screenshot but the upload feature is being wonky. Will try again later.

Click on Free Aspect in the game menu bar and uncheck the box "Low Resolution Aspect Ratios". This should fix your problem.

"Low res aspect ratio" is checked but disabled for me, so I can't uncheck it...

The other solution (also for newer version where you cannot disable "Low res aspect") is to set a display by pixels and no ratios. For example, configure a display of 1920x1080 ins$$anonymous$$d of 16:9. It will immediately fix the resolution for both Game and Scene view

Sorry for the delay. Did you find where to set it? There's a select list on the top left of each panel (Game and Editor)

Thanks for the feedback, @zblase ! I ended up finding that my pixelation was caused by the Game Tab Scale slider being set to 2X instead of 1X! It made all the difference and my camera made sense after setting it back to 1X.

If you have a Retina screen, make sure to uncheck the "Low Resolution Aspect Ratios" checkbox. Watch this: https://youtu.be/4SFf3oXw9$$anonymous$$U

the low res thing is grayed out and I've googled the hell out of it and it seem you can't uncheck it. plus your link is dead.

If your main camera is very far away from your models, game mode will scale up your scene. Try setting up a camera closer to your scene and slide the scaler in game mode down to one.

In my case, my sprites were blurry. Make sure anti-aliasing is off on the camera. alt text
