Unity 5 UI Mask issues Android

I am having issues with Unity 5 / Android and masking. In version 4.6 the mask works as expected. However, I can not get it to work at all in Unity 5.

I have attached two images of what it should look like and what it does look like if anyone could shed any light onto the matter please; do I need specific settings for Android etc??? I am currently working on a blank project to try and get this sorted, so there is no code at present, just the scene.

This is how it SHOULD look This is how it DOES look

It's a late answer. However, To answer what OP asked, I would say using RectMask2D instead of the regular Mask could be a good workaround.

I've also provided another answer to a similar question with some images showing more details.

RectMask2D Control:

A common use of a RectMask2D is to show small sections of a larger area and to somehow frame this area.

The limitations of RectMask2D control are:

  • It only works in 2D space
  • It will not properly mask elements that are not coplanar

The advantages of RectMask2D are:

  • It does not use the stencil buffer
  • No extra draw calls
  • No material changes
  • Fast performance

I searched a long time for the answer to this but I fixed this problem in Unity 5 by unchecking the "Disable Depth and Stencil*" Box.

Build Settings -> Player Settings -> Resolution and Presentation -> Disable Depth and Stencil

After that you need to re-launch unity (you will not see working mask if you dont)

Works Perfectly Fine for me.

Try to do this on a blank Scene.

Add UI Image. -> Will automatically make a Canvas.

On the Image-> Add Component. "Mask".

Now on the Image <- GameObject that you make, Add another Image. Name it Image2.

So you have something like.

Canvas->Image-> Image2.

Now go to Image with Mask component. And on the Mask Component TURN OFF "SHOW MASK GRAPHIC" <- Important.

Now for Image 2. Try to Change the BackGround them Move the Object around while looking in the GAME Window.
