Mask is skewed on iPhone6 Plus

Hi all,

Any idea why my mask is being skewed on iPhone6 Plus? (device only. Simulator displays fine) My mask is a dark gray rectangle, but is skewed diagonally.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

There are a number of possibilities here, and and a proper answer would require that you show us these items:

  • Your config.lua file (or the part [you are certain] is used for the iPhone 6).
  • The code used to draw the image, including creating the mask and any scaling you may do of the mask or the image.
  • The mask image (so we can examine it).

However it is most likely that you are not following the mask image size and layout rules.

I’d double check.  If you don’t follow the rules for making masks you’ll see arbitrary strange behavior on some devices.  i.e. It won’t consistently fail, and when it does the failure signature will vary.

Hi roaringgamer,

I have made sure the mask image’s width and height are both divisible by 4. However, this image is also nested in its own container. Does the container it’s in have to be divisible by 4 as well?

Here are the contents of config.lua. Nothing special, really.

application ={ content = {                 width = 320,                 height = 480,                 scale = "letterbox",                 -- If no suffix file is found, the base image is used imageSuffix = { ["-x15"] = 1.5, -- A good scale for Droid, Nexus One, etc. ["-x2"] = 2, -- A good scale for iPhone 4 and iPad }, audioPlayFrequency = 22050 } } application.animation\_duration  = 250

Thanks
