Player settings for the Facebook platform

This page details the Player settings specific to the Facebook platform. For a description of the general Player settings, see Player.

You can find documentation for the properties in the following sections:

• Icon
• Other Settings
• Publishing Settings

Note: Although the Resolution and Presentation panel appears on the Facebook platform’s Player settings, there are no settings on the panel. Also, the only settings on the Splash Image panel are the common Splash Screen settings.

Since the Facebook build target uses the existing WebGL and Windows Standalone build targets, the Player settings for those targets also apply.

Icon

Enable the Override for Facebook setting to assign a custom icon for your standalone game. You can upload different sizes of the icon to fit each of the squares provided.

Other Settings

This section allows you to customize a range of options organized into the following groups:

• Rendering
• Configuration
• Optimization
• Logging
• Legacy

Rendering

Use these settings to customize how Unity renders your game for the Facebook platform.

Property	Function
Auto Graphics API	Disable this option to manually pick and reorder the graphics APIs. By default this option is enabled, and Unity includes Direct3D11.
Static Batching	Enable this option to use Static batching.
Dynamic Batching	Enable this option to use Dynamic Batching (activated by default).
Graphics Jobs (Experimental)	Enable this option to instruct Unity to offload graphics tasks (render loops) to worker threads running on other CPU cores. This is intended to reduce the time spent in Camera.Render on the main thread, which is often a bottleneck. Note: This feature is experimental. It may not deliver a performance improvement for your project, and may introduce instability. Unity currently only supports Graphics Jobs when using Vulkan and this setting has no effect when using OpenGL ES.
Lightmap Streaming Enabled	Enable this option to load only the lightmap mip maps as needed to render the current game Cameras. This value applies to the lightmap textures as they are generated. Note: To use this setting, you must enable the Texture Streaming Quality setting.
Streaming Priority	Set the lightmap mip map streaming priority to resolve resource conflicts. These values are applied to the light map textures as they are generated. Positive numbers give higher priority. Valid values range from –128 to 127.

Configuration

Setting		Function
Scripting Runtime Version		Choose which .NET runtime to use in your project. For more details, see Microsoft’s .NET documentation.
	.NET 3.5 Equivalent (Deprecated)	A .NET runtime which implements the .NET 3.5 API. This functionality is deprecated, and should no longer be used. Please use .NET 4.
	.NET 4.x Equivalent	A .NET runtime which implements the .NET 4 API. This API is newer than .NET 3.5, and as such, it offers access to more APIs, is compatible with more external libraries, and supports C# 6. This is the default scripting runtime.
Scripting Backend		This option is not available for WebGL.
API Compatibility Level		There are two options for API compatibility level: .NET 4.0, or .NET Standard 2.0. Tip: If you are having problems with a third-party assembly, you can try the suggestion in the API Compatibility Level section below.
Disable HW Statistics		Enable this option to instruct the application not to send information about the hardware to Unity. By default, Unity Android applications send anonymous HW statistics to Unity. This provides you with aggregated information to help you make decisions as a developer.
Scripting Define Symbols		Set custom compilation flags. For more details, see Platform dependent compilation.
Allow ‘unsafe’ Code		Enable support for compiling ‘unsafe’ C# code in a pre-defined assembly (for example, Assembly-CSharp.dll). For Assembly Definition Files (.asmdef), click on one of your .asmdef files and enable the option in the Inspector window that appears.
Active Input Handling		Choose how you want to handle input from users.
	Input Manager	Use the traditional Input settings.
	Input System (Preview)	Use the newer Input system. The Input System is under development. To try an early preview of the Input System, install the InputSystem package. If you select the Input System (Preview) option without having that package installed, nothing happens except for some extra processing.
	Both	Use both systems side by side.

API Compatibility Level

You can choose your mono API compatibility level for all targets. Sometimes a 3rd-party .NET library uses functionality that is outside of your .NET compatibility level. In order to understand what is going on in such cases, and how to best fix it, try following these suggestions:

1. Install Reflector for Windows.
2. Drag the .NET assemblies for the API compatilibity level you are having issues with into Reflector. You can find these under Frameworks/Mono/lib/mono/YOURSUBSET/.
3. Drag in your 3rd-party assembly.
4. Right-click your 3rd-party assembly and select Analyze.
5. In the analysis report, inspect the Depends on section. The report highlights anything that the 3rd-party assembly depends on, but that is not available in the .NET compatibility level of your choice in red.

Optimization

Setting	Function
Prebake Collision Meshes	Enable this option to add collision data to Meshes at build time.
Keep Loaded Shaders Alive	Enable this option to prevent shaders from being unloaded.
Preloaded Assets	Set an array of Assets for the player to load on startup. To add new Assets, increase the value of the Size property and then set a reference to the Asset to load in the new Element box that appears.
Vertex Compression	Set vertex compression per channel. For example, you can enable compression for everything except positions and lightmap UVs. Whole Mesh compression set per imported object overrides where vertex compression is set on objects. Everything else obeys these vertex compression settings.
Optimize Mesh Data	Enable this option to remove any data from Meshes that is not required by the Material applied to them (such as tangents, normals, colors, and UVs).

Logging

Select what type of logging to allow in specific contexts.

Check one box that corresponds to each Log Type (Error, Assert, Warning, Log, and Exception) when running scripts (ScriptOnly) , all the time (Full), or never (None).

Legacy

Enable the Clamp BlendShapes (Deprecated) option to clamp the range of Blend Shape weights in SkinnedMeshRenderers.

Publishing settings

Property	Function
Facebook SDK Version	Choose the version of the Facebook SDK you want use for your Project. As Facebook publishes new versions compatible with your version of Unity, they will appear in this menu.
AppID	Enter your AppID, used by Facebook to identify your app. See Getting Started Facebook for Unity for help with setting up an AppID.
Upload access token	Enter your upload access token. Facebook requires this token to authorize the Unity Editor to upload builds of your app to Facebook. You can get this from Facebook, on your app configuration page, under the Web Hosting tab.
Show Windows Player Settings	Click this button to switch to the Standalone Player settings, which affect any Facebook builds for Gameroom.
FB.Init() Parameters	Some parameters affecting how the Facebook SDK is initialized on the facebook.com web page. For more information, see the Facebook Developers FB.Init reference page.
Show WebGL Player Settings	Click this button to switch to the WebGL Player settings, which affect any Facebook builds for WebGL.
