    I am developing my application on a double screen system with two 1280x1024 monitors on Windows.
    I am trying to set a windowed resolution of 1920x1080 by doing:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. void Awake() {
    3.     Screen.SetResolution(1920, 1080, false);
    4. }
    When I run the application in DirectX mode I get:
    But if I run the application with the -force-opengl option it works properly. I.e. opens a window with 1920x1080 resolution.

    Any ideas how to solve this?

    If I set the player to use 1920x1080 resolution it works.

    But if I then use Screen.SetResolution(1920, 1080, false) to set the resolution, the program reports the same error as above.

    Worth noting is that I use the low-level-native plugin, so I suspect that some event in the UnitySetGraphicsDevice() function is not done correctly...

    I found a workaround, by making my application wait for short while after setting the new resolution I got rid of the error.
    Code (csharp):
    1. IEnumerator Start () {
    2.     Screen.SetResolution(1920, 1080, false);
    3.     // Wait for new screen resolution to take effect
    4.     yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
    5. }

    Be sure to submit a bug report, that way UT can take a look at this.
