Half screen size in Mac builds

I'm having a strange problem. My Oculus Rift game runs perfectly in Windows. But when I move the project to Mac and have a build, the built app game covers only a quarter of screen (half width, half height). What could possibly be wrong? I tried Tuscany demo, it worked fullscreen without any problems.

I use Unity Pro 4.6.2, OSX Yosomite, 0.4.3.1 of Oculus Rift.

I believe this can happen when the wrong resolution or refresh rate is selected.

Make sure you are running at 1920x1080 and at 75Hz refresh.

I resolved the problem by creating a new Unity project and copying assets to it. I couldn't understand what made the game unplayable in my previous settings.

Apparently it is not a problem about monitor resolution or frequency. This new project (and other OR demos) runned successfully in the same monitor settings.

You probably adjusted the "virtual texture scale" by accident (on OVRCameraRig on the OVRManager component).

Unity also sometimes does some weird things with caching your resolution settings even if you change them in the Inspector. I had trouble with this a while ago, and to fix it I made a simple function to set the application to display on the Rift's native resolution if it isn't already.


private void CorrectResolution()
{
    Resolution nativeResolution = Screen.resolutions[Screen.resolutions.Length - 1];
    if(Screen.width != nativeResolution.width || Screen.height != nativeResolution.height)
    {
        Screen.SetResolution(nativeResolution.width, nativeResolution.height, true);
    }
}

Keep in mind that this sets the screen to its highest normal display resolution instead of 1920x1080, so on a screen that's not the DK2 it will still resize to fit the bounds. Hope this helps.

I'm seeing something similar. Is this what it looked like?

My situation is:
The app is running fine on the PC.
Compiling via Unity 4.6 running on a PC. Testing on mac. Other Rift Mac Apps work fine.
SDK 0.4.4, DK-2
virtual texture scale = 1, Mac Resolution 1920x1080

I'll try the solutions listed in this thread.
