@Pawel is this happening to you as well when your resize the window?

That’s right. When I resize it, I can roughly see how much the window size has to be reduced to see the background. But if I adjust the size beyond that, it goes back to the black one again…

OMG 😂 I think I found the perfect solution! But it’s a bit of a hassle… I tried to change the display resolution of my computer much lower.(cuz my game was built well on my second computer which is very old) The original recommended resolution was 1920_1080, but I changed it to 1366_768. Now all the games are built up perfectly. It is questionable why this method works. It is cumbersome to change the resolution every time a game is built. But I think I put a lot of effort into getting here! I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped me in the meantime.

Yet another interesting clue. I’m still not sure why this is the case, I’m sure many others have used that size of the screen before 🤔

As a workaround maybe you can use the DefOS extension to resize the window on startup?

Defold should work on any resolution. But apparently in your case there is a bug preventing you from running Defold with certain resolutions.
