Android game initial scene not centered on app launch. Possible bug!

App_Maker

I have a Android game that was made with Gamesalad Stable Version 0.12.20. I am running into a issue when starting the game. Its a landscape orientation game and what I notice is that if I launch the app while the tablet is in landscape position and then switch it while its booting up to portrait position it cuts off about a third of the game "black space on top third of screen" when it finally loads.

Weird part is if I launch app when the tablet is in portrait position and then switch it to landscape as its first loading, the game appears fine and there is no cut off. Also if I launch the app and keep tablet in one position the whole time until game loads either portrait or landscape, there is no cut off of game when its finally loaded.

App is published in stretch mode.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? This seems to be a bug.

Thanks

Its an old bug - you need to go back in to each scene and change the camera rotation to landscape. I can't remember what the cause of this way but its happened to me.

How can I change the camera rotation to landscape?

Open GS and then to the right of the word inspector, you will see GAME/SCENE

Select Scene
Then go to Autorotate. Here is where you will find the problem. Just change it to what you require.

You may need to do this for every scene in your game. Its a pain in the arse

All of my scenes are set to landscape left only. Should I also have landscape right as well?

Thanks

Odd. Does your game have a start up advert? Have you checked its not portrait? Putting scenes to Landscape right isnt necessary.

I would look at your rules just incase theres something hidden on that scene. Check your camera settings to on GAME level.

No ads in game. I think this is a bug as I created a new app with just a single image and tried it and the same results happened. Need to switch tablet faster since it loads quicker with only one image but still same issue.
