Large Image Resolution Drop

[Colcoction]

I just started a project to make a game that involves moving horizontally through a long hallway. The room (and background image) size is 5120 x 720 pixels, with the view only showing 1280 x 720. I made a quick background to test with, but when I ran the game, the resolution of the background dropped to noticeably lower quality.

What it should look like:

What it looks like when running: (The red square is just a test object. Notice how it's resolution is perfectly fine.)

I tried making the image a sprite on an object, but that had no effect. I tried using a different background image to see if it was just a problem with the image file, but what I found was that any image worked, as long as it didn't stretch past the view of 1280 x 720. The resolution only dropped when I tried to use a background wider than that.

Any ideas on what could be causing this, or possible solutions?

view and port might need to be same if there not, but i would guess its to do with the size, if you have an image that size then it needs to be on a texture page size bigger than the image.

This is due to the texture page limit, which by default is 2048x2048. Any picture/background larger than that will be scaled down to fit.

Ah, I did not know this. Thank you. Splitting up my background image into four backgrounds makes it work fine.
