Question by dama_kawa · Oct 06, 2016 at 05:39 PM · game viewpixelation

Game view appears extremely pixelated but scene view is fine

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.

Is your game view zoomed in? As of Unity 5.4, you can use the scrollwheel to scale the game view, which may be your problem. We'll see what the screenshot is like when it's up.

Unfortunately my work firewall is preventing me from uploading the image. However, I think you are absolutely right about the zoom-in thing. I was zoomed in so the object was the same size in game view that it was in build view. Maybe the scale in build view is different?

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...

please help, why is this option greyed out?

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 instead of 16:9. It will immediately fix the resolution for both Game and Scene view

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 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.
