Player crashing on launch, something to do with screen size and windowing

I just re-worked a project and made a new standalone build. I had set the build to be full-screen by default, with no splash screen. This was working with 2.6., and I have a working player installed in a kiosk. I've been working on a dual-screen configuration, with no glitches...until installing the 3.0 update.

Now, in 3.0, a build with the exact same settings crashes on launch. I changed the settings to have the splash screen, but if I turn off "windowed," the player crashes upon clicking "Play." If I allow it to window, it does not crash (but I need it to be full-screen).

Here's the console printout when it crashes:
11/14/10 10:43:15 AM SkidScape[609] unknown error code: invalid display
11/14/10 10:43:15 AM SkidScape[609] kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.

Here's the console when it works (setting to "windowed"):
11/14/10 10:40:20 AM SkidScape[609] Could not find image named 'ScreenSelector'.
11/14/10 10:40:20 AM SkidScape[609] *** WARNING: Method selectRow:byExtendingSelection: in class ScreenSelectorTableView is deprecated. It will be removed in a future release and should no longer be used.

 

I am now having a similar problem...anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?

 

I have also problem with U3.1 in editor mode with dual-screens.

• Maximizing Unity main window to fullcreen takes more >10sec. (and sometimes don't refresh the screen).
• Dragging the Game Window to the secondary screen freezes my Mac.
• Trying to play the game, with "Maximize on Play" enabled, freezes my Mac if the Unity main window fits the screen.

U3.0.0f1 (50273) seems to be more stable on my Mac (not perfectly stable).

I love Unity and my config is :
UnityPro 3 - Imac 20' with secondary monitor - Mac OS X 10.6.5.

PS : I didn't see nothing strange in "CrashReporter/Unity.crash.log"

 

I can't find anything in the bug database for these problems. Please can you each file a bug report (menu: Help > Report A Problem). It's quite possible that the two faults are related but this will be established by the QA team.

 

Ok Andeee,

Thumb 1 shows Unity focusing on the Game Window => 2514.6 fps (on main monitor).
Thumb 2 shows Unity focusing on the application MAIN Window => 1072.9 fps (on main monitor).
Thumb 3 shows Unity focusing on the Game Window => 1512.1 fps (on secondary monitor).

test done with an empty Scene in an empty Project on my imac 20' Unity 3.1pro with an additional monitor and Mac OS X 10.6.5.



If some people could try this out and report back basically what their setup is and what FPS they're getting, that'd be great. THx.

 

Hi,

I did the same test (see above) with Unity 2.6.1f3 :

• no problem here ; the fps of the game window (on-focus window) = the fps of the game window when off-focus !
• the fps of the game window displayed on the second monitor = the fps of the game window if displayed on the main monitor !

Seems that this problem is U3 specific ?

Still loving Unity !

 

Hello all,

I've just got a bug report from a user mentionng this exact bug on his MAC. His message is this one:

Can anyone guess what this could be?

 

I am now getting this same problem on my Mac Pro. If I set my app to play fullscreen it crashes straight away, if I set it to start in windowed mode then change it to full screen it crashes with this in the console log (for both crashes)

The game doesn't create plist for the settings, so users are unable to launch the game at all. However, we can supply them a custom plist to start the game in windowed mode, and it works fine as long as they don't go fullscreen.

I submitted a bug about it (445660).
