HDRP 7.1.6 UpdateVolumetricLightingPerCameraData Error

[Elliott-Mitchell]

Hey! When updating a project from 7.1.5 to 7.1.6 I get this error! I tried in 2019.3.0f1 and earlier. Anyone else seeing this in their projects, or have suggestions?

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition.HDRenderPipeline.UpdateVolumetricLightingPerCameraData (UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition.HDCamera hdCamera) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@7.1.6/Runtime/Lighting/VolumetricLighting/VolumetricLighting.cs:342)

Hello,

I read your thread. I encountered the same bug with my game running in the latest beta version of Unity.
Already made a post here:

HDRP, Scene is not visible with Fog in preview window

Hello, I encountered a bug with the lastest Beta version and HDRP. My scene uses volumetric fog and PBR sky. When I toggle the Fog in the Scene preview window, my whole scene disappears and I only get a grey background. Also in the console the following messages appear: Error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object (Line 342 in “\Library\PackageCache\com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@7.1.6\Runtime\Lighting\VolumetricLighting\VolumetricLighting.c…

Seems that they break some of their own code in the HDRP package. They should add code to catch that null reference and also fix whatever cause vbufferparams to be null.
