Editor keeps crashing constantly

RaventurnPatrick · May 31, 2023, 6:10am

I can confirm the latest 2021LTS crashes constantly even after wiping the Library folder. It seems to be related with showing an inspector, but we are not using Odin.

greg-harding · May 31, 2023, 6:50am

As mentioned in another crash thread, @sandbaydev had a possible fix for some errors/eventual crashes by removing [Range()] attributes. See if trying this helps you or not: https://forum.unity.com/threads/calling-endwrite-before-beginwrite.1427973/#post-9047230

Dude same problem, happens like 3 times a day for me. Not looking forward to uploading my 5gb project.

Since it seems DirectX related, I’m going to switch to Vulkan for a bit to see if it stops.

Gnietschow · June 1, 2023, 11:44am

I’m encountering the same problem, even the newest 2022.3.0f1 did not fixed the issue. I’m still working with 2022.2.5f1, which is stable for me. It happens randomly but will crash eventually after some minutes, e.g. on opening a prefab, just focus the window, selecting something. And also the error d3d11: EndWrite on null buffer in the Editor.log. I’m not using any editor plugins like Odin, just raw Unity.

RaventurnPatrick · June 1, 2023, 2:03pm

It’s crazy that a major bug like this can make it in an LTS Release so late in the release cycle.
Also the fact that unity wants a bug report with repro-steps even though it’s a bug that basically everyone is encountering on Windows.

nehvaleem · June 1, 2023, 2:15pm

yeah, but I am afraid it isn’t easily reproducible. I wasn’t able to reproduce it on an empty or sample project.

arachnidLeo · June 1, 2023, 2:25pm

Yep same thing here. Ever since upgrading my project to 2022, it crashes all the time - probably about 10 times a day. It will even crash when I’m not doing anything.
I wonder if Unity even has a QA team anymore or if they are just releasing untested software.

HunterAhlquist · June 2, 2023, 7:51pm

looks like Vulkan doesn’t seem to make a difference.

I have the same crash. For me it started with 2021.3.25f I believe (± one minor) so I bumped up to 2022.3.0f but that made no difference. I’m using Odin.

Edit: also getting absolutely spammed with error “EditorCoroutine handle is null.” since upgrading to 2022

Same problem here. Unity 2022.3.0f1

Unity Issue Tracker - Editor crashes on BufferD3D11::EndWrite when Hierarchy filter gives zero results on a scene with a custom UI Prefab (unity3d.com)

Everyone login and go vote for this to be fixed…

c0nd3v · June 5, 2023, 1:11am

Doing this fixed it for me. Haven’t crash yet all day. Although I would still like to see a fix for this in DX11, as per my post above.

LightYarn · June 5, 2023, 4:20am

Yes, using DX12 is currently my only workaround to be able to finish light baking. Unfortunately switching to DX12 completely brakes my game-mode.

thecoch · June 9, 2023, 4:16am

my unity editor keeps crashing every day…every hour! 2021.3.26f1 2022.3.0f1 2023.1.0b17
it has been like this for month, very crash report is the same.

Today Unity crashed 7 times for me. It crashes about once every half hour or an hour. I’m sure it would have crashed more times if I hadn’t done other things in between apart from developing.

I updated to 2022.3 LTS from 2022.2 thinking it would be fixed, but no.

I noticed it crashes predominantly when working with the hierarchy, but don’t take my word on that.

It’s maddening. Such a big problem has been around for quite some time, and in an LTS. I’m thinking of stopping making this crap game for a couple of months until they deign to fix the crashes.

AcidArrow · June 12, 2023, 8:10am

I like the optimism.

richardkettlewell · June 12, 2023, 10:50am

Just letting you all know that we are working on this… sorry for the trouble it’s causing.

sandbaydev · June 12, 2023, 10:52am

No, I’m not using Odin.

richardkettlewell · June 12, 2023, 1:57pm

Is anyone here experiencing this crash on the newly released 2022.3.1f1 ?
Based on testing, there is some feeling internally that a bugfix in that version also fixed this issue… but it’s early to say for sure, so if anyone has any info on that, it would be super helpful.
