[0.8.4] Case 1153671 - Prefab with no sprite kept loaded causes other prefab to be pink

This one actually might be the same thing as Case 1153590 ( [0.8.4] Case 1153590 - Everything turns pink if texture in prefab is LoadAssetAsynced )

It may just be another way to reproduce the same thing, but this one is so easy to reproduce it surprised me.

Using Addressables.InstantiateAsync / Addressables.ReleaseInstance

  • MyPrefab2 which is just an empty gameobject is instantiated
  • MyPrefab1 which contains a spriterenderer is instantiated, all is still fine
  • The instance of MyPrefab1 is released
  • MyPrefab1 is instantiated again. This time it will be pink.
  • MyPrefab2 instance is released
  • MyPrefab1 instance is released and instantiated again. This time it will be normal.

After working around for previous bugs, I still have some pink objects in my game upon 2nd load of the game level. After reproducing this one and seeing how basic it is though, I can’t continue as this one is so basic. My game might be surfacing other bugs though, so will need to wait until this is fixed.

While finding these bugs, I also found bugs in my own code too, so at least it was productive.

BTW the same thing happens for this case and 1153590 if Addressables.LoadAsset/Release are used to load prefabs and then instantiate from the prefabs (which is how my game actually does it).

Thanks for the repro. we’ll look into it.
