Android Black Screen - apart from gui -SOLVED

Unity Engine
1

Hello, and i am not sure what is going on so hence the post here.

So when i build my project for Android i cant seem the anything apart from the UI overlay and the bullet hit particle effect. Otherwise it is black.

So i have tried 2017.1,2017.3 and 2018 beta.

All the same result.

I have found this thread with the same issue, but no solution.

https://answers.unity.com/questions/1414299/black-screen-on-android-build-2.html?page=1&pageSize=5&sort=votes

This is a screen shot of my issue: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

I am also using SRDebugger and this is showing no errors in the console.

So the setup of the project uses Cinemachine and not sure if this is the issue.

If anyone knows what this might be would be great.

Thanks

Daniel

@djgriff I’ve run into the exact same issue on Unity 2019.4.12 on Android. How did you fix it?

If anyone else happens to run into the issue:

  • black screen on Android device

  • no issues in Editor

  • UI still visible over black screen

this is what solved it for me:

Basically, upgraded Universal Render Pipeline package from 7.3.1 to 7.5.1 using the Package Manager.

Note: I’m running a custom Scriptable Render Pipeline in Unity 2019.4.12.

EDIT: After a bit more investigation I determined it wasn’t the URP package update that fixed it.

In the end it was an update to Render Pipeline Core from 7.3.1 to 7.5.1 and I ticked ON the “Use 32-bit Display Buffer” setting. I was trying out a lot of stuff.

So final set of related settings is this:

  • Blit Type: Never (didn’t matter if it was set to any other setting)

  • Use 32-bit Display Buffer: ON

  • Color Space: Gamma

  • Auto Graphics API ON

  • Multithreaded Rendering: ON

  • Static Batching: ON

  • Render Pipeline Core package updated to 7.5.1

I’m not using PostProcess Stack package like OP.

@vladimir-fs Hi , for me back then was post processing stack, but looks like it was related to different things in your case. Glad you managed to resolve it!
