Game view appears extremely pixelated but scene view is fine

Question

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!

*I 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.

I have the same issue, but it worked when i did this: Click to a dropdown Free Aspect, then check the "V-Sync ( Game View Only )" and uncheck the "Low Resolution Aspect Ratios"! Happy if i could help you!

Answer 1

Thanks for the feedback, @Hysteroid ! 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 you have a Retina screen, make sure to uncheck the "Low Resolution Aspect Ratios" checkbox. Watch this: https://youtu.be/4SFf3oXw9MU

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.

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?

– Ed

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

I spent hours on this, I tried different versions and different projects, then I deleted all unity and projects and this was the error?

In my case, my sprites were blurry. Make sure anti-aliasing is off on the camera.

Try render scale inside your pipeline setting. For that:

1. Find what pipeline you use (simply go to the “Edit” - “Settings” - “Qaulity” and find the “Render Pipeline asset”
2. Then click it and it will show up your current quality asset.
3. In the inspector of this asset you will find the “Render Scale” option.
4. Set a value (approx to 1) you will see the changes in your game window.

If you zoom in with slider, it will look pixelated.

Move and position camera closer and it looks good.
