Problem scaling my game's window on differents screens

DarkLeksis

For my first project, i've made a game where the camera doesn't follow the player. Instead it change when the player is offscreen on the y axis. The problem is that i've tried my game on two different screen and the visual is'nt the same on both (problematic for a platformer) My first screen was 16:9 1920 by 1080 : My second was 16:9 1536 by 864 : To solve the problem i first thougth to apply a scaling based on my screen's heigth. Here's the code:

    var screen_size_y : float = OS.get_screen_size().y
    func ready():
    	set_zoom(Vector2(1080/screen_size_y, 1080/screen_size_y))

The visual still is'nt the same and i'm not sure why. Thanks you in advance for helping me.

I'm not sure if this is the cause or could be contributing, but what are your project settings? If you have the expand mode set to 2d or viewport in the window settings of the project, it could be that the game view in pixels is different than the screen size it is being played on, which could perhaps potentially lead to the difference.

You could maybe get around it by using the root viewport size, but I'm not totally sure:

var screen_size_y : float = get_tree().root.size.y
func _ready():
	set_zoom(Vector2(1080/screen_size_y, 1080/screen_size_y))

I've an error with float = get_tree().root.size.y, i'm not used to get_tree, get_node, ... Here's my window setting to help.

You should use the 2d or viewport stretch mode with the keep or expand stretch aspect. This will handle multiple resolutions for you automatically, as long as your UI nodes' anchors are configured to support multiple aspect ratios.

The disabled stretch mode should only be used for non-game applications.

Sorry for not responding, i still have the same problem and the game look still different on different screen. I disabled my function 'set_zoom' and set the mode to '2D4 and 'Viewport'
