[0.7.5] Case 1153426 - Sprites in Atlas won't load after Release+Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets()

[chanon81]

Just wanted to notify that I used Unity’s Report a Bug tool to report this bug (Case 1153426)

The problem is that for Windows Platform, using Packed Play Mode, if a prefab that contains a Sprite that is in an Atlas is loaded with Addressables, then Released and Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets() called, there is a chance that on next load of that prefab, the Sprite will not show up.

Took 9 hours to figure out what the problem was and create minimal reproduction. Took another hour just to upload it.

(I believe this is a different bug than:

[0.8.4] Case 1153590 - Everything turns pink if texture in prefab is LoadAssetAsynced

Hello, I have this problem where I am using LoadAsset to load a prefab for a level. Then when I am done (eg. the level ends), I Release it. (I Instantiate a GameObject from the loaded prefab and then Destroy it before releasing the prefab) It works fine the first time. However, the next time I load the same level, the prefab loads fine, no errors, but all textures are pink?? I am currently trying to create a minimal reproduction, but does anyone have an idea what I may be doing wrong or if…

which I will need to continue finding the cause of. In that case everything turns pink not just Sprites that were in Atlases)

Rant: Can’t understand why bug report uploads are so slow. What are you taking from my harddrive?? The assets folder is just 4.5 MBs, the whole project folder is 400MBs. I am on 200/100 connection. What a painful experience overall.
