HDRP - 5.2.3 null exception

Unity Engine

I’m trying to start a new project with Unity 2019.1.a12 and installed Core RP and HDRP package with package manager. Latest version available is 5.2.3. I don’t get this error the first time I set up the HDRP profiles, but only after I close the editor and restart unity.

You only need HDRP itself, not the core or anything else unless you’re developing a SRP. Because HDRP pulls in any dependencies it needs.

Still getting the same error without Core with a fresh new project

Resolved this issue by installing just HDRP 5.2.3 and restarting the editor. Setting up the project to support HDRP pipeline and restarting editor again. then I installed the VFXgraph package and repeated the process.
Somehow installing HDRP and VFXgraph at the same time caused a lot of issues

Is it all set up with the correct asset in the Graphics Settings etc?

6

yes

After installing a SRP I usually have to restart or even reimport for it to work.
