Hi folks. I have a mysterious bug on my text material that’s harmless but just annoying.
Basically, when I enter Play Mode in my project, I get the following errors (Both in editor as well as on build):
Material 'NunitoHeavy-Regular SDF[GreenOutline-DropShadow]' with Shader 'TextMeshPro/Distance Field' doesn't have a float or range property '_CullMode'

As you can gather from the material and name, this is a font material preset for a TMP_Text component. Unfortunately this error is not linked to a specific instance, so I don’t actually know which text is causing it, but I’m getting 7 identical errors like this when I enter the relevant scene.
Some further notes regarding this:
- I’m using a modern version of the TMP package
- Not all
TMP_Texts using this material get this error. In my scene I have about 50 and most of them trigger no error - I’ve tried re-creating this specific material preset from scratch, but the issue remains
- My project is using both asset bundles and addressables, so it’s not out-of-the-question that the material instance that’s causing the error is not from the project itself
My end-goal is to get rid of this error simply because it’s cluttering the logs.
I figure the most correct way to do this would be to resolve the issue, but if anybody has a solution that simply makes this error not appear I’d be cool with that too.
In general, I would be happy to hear if anyone ever ran across something like this. I’ve tried Googling for it but no dice so far.
Thanks in advance!
