How to know the Screen Orientation on start

Hello,

We ran into this weird situation, so maybe someone can help.

We need to know the Screen Orientation (landscape left, landscape right, portrait or portrait upside down) when the game starts. The problem is that we allow both landscape left and landscape right, so before the screen changes orientation, Screen.orientation reports AutoRotation (whenever the orientation changes, it starts reporting the specific orientation, but we need to know it BEFORE the orientation changes). Input.deviceOrientation also doesn't fully help, because it has FaceUp, FaceDown, etc., so if a device is lying on a table, we can't know what the screen orientation actually is.

So, does anyone know a way in Unity (without using native plugins) to know for sure what Screen Orientation is before any orientation changes happen?

 

Yes, Necro. But a well stated problem I'm also running into. Does anyone have the solution?

BTW, I tried Screen.orientation with no luck either. It reports "Portrait" even when starting in landscape.
