Why doesn't Standalone Build Resolution settings affect the standalone size

Question

I try to make a Mac standalone size of 512x384. So I go to Player Settings for PC, Mac & Linux Standalone. And Under Resolution I set Default Screen Width / Height to 512 and 384 respectively.

I build the app. But when I run it it is the same big size that it was when I previously built it with Default Screen Width / Height set to 1024 and 768 respectively. Why?

It seems that these setting don't have any effect. (And I do NOT want to use the Display Resolution Dialog)

P.S. I asked this is the forums but I never seem to get any help there anymore.

What solved the problem for me was:

 [MenuItem("Edit/Reset Playerprefs")]
 public static void DeletePlayerPrefs()
 {
     PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll();
 }

Then, in the Unity Editor, go to Edit -> Reset PlayerPrefs.

Done =D

You can do it without the game/app running.

I saw this same issue when setting 'Use Native Resolution' - it ended up being stuck at 1024x768. Using your snippet solved the issue for me. Gracias!

Write that code in a script in a folder called Editor. I think that is it.

 using UnityEditor;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class AddMenu : EditorWindow {
 
     [MenuItem("Edit/Reset Playerprefs")]
 
     public static void DeletePlayerPrefs()
     {
         PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll();
     }
 
 }

Here's the full code - This script goes in the editor window

Im working on a mac and am having trouble finding the exact place to write this code. Could anyone give a specific location? (I'm still pretty new to all this so I'm probably missing something really obvious)

Note: I got help from someone in the Unity Community on Google+.

This is the answer I got and It fixed my problem:

"Is it possible that it's picking up preferences from a previous build of the app that was run with the resolution dialog enabled and 1024x768 was selected ? Preferences file lives in ~/Library/Preferences/unity...plist, maybe try deleting it ?"

I'm currently having the same problem. However, I can't find the preferences file. I've done a search for it and also have windows showing all hidden files and folders. I'm using version 4.3.0f4, so maybe things have changed. Or is this maybe a pro thing (I'm not using pro)?

Nevermind. The location in the above post is for Mac. For Windows, preferences are stored in the registry. Here's a link explaining where: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html

I found the prefs folder and deleted it but that didn't fix the problem.

Add these lines to the start of your program Playerprefs.deleteall(); application.quit

Then remove those line and run again. I am currently trying a to find a way to automate the process but this does work.
