I have wanted to compile a DOTS/ECS standalone for about 6 months.I need it now to release.Any help?

Unity Engine

The only help I saw from this forum was linking this site: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/EntityComponentSystemSamples/tree/master/ECSSamples/Assets/BuildConfigurations

This does me no good when I am working with this interface: https://crystalfighter.com/pix/build.png

My game compiles and the GameObject portions run, but the Entities never render.

I think I need to add a component to my buildconfiguration:
Unity.Build.DotsRuntime

When I add all three components, it gives me 2 warning error triangles. I don’t know where to go from here. Please look at this. I’m pretty sure it is easy to someone like changing the clock on your new car: https://crystalfighter.com/pix/build.png

Thanks for any help dudes and sistas,
Jim

Have you followed all the steps here: DOTS Project Setup | Entities | 0.17.0-preview.42?

I have successfully built a standalone MacOS build with entities following those steps.

Yes. I did that already and saw that page several times.

More information & Clues. This should be easy for someone:

In my standalone: Entities are in game, just not rendering. I use HDRP if that is any consideration. Collisions happen. Rendering does not. Again, can someone please check: Starfighter General Standalone problems->No rendering of entities It is a very short video, just under 2 minutes.

Have you checked player.log? When I encountered issues with entities not rendering, there would be messages about shaders not being compatible with Hybrid Renderer. (Yes, sometimes they’d work in editor but not show up in builds. In my case, upgrading Unity and HDRP solved these issues)

Have you made a basic project with just a cube (or the samples) and compiled that until you got it to work?

But yeah, what apkdev said. What’s your log say.

Mr.K from discord analyzed my log file.

Two things going on:

  1. A scene isn’t loading.

  2. Even if scene isn’t requested to load, entities not rendering. I get collisions, I count em, but they ain’t showing up visually.
