iOS OpenGL Crash

Target Platforms Mobile
1

Hi Everyone,

My iOS build crashes randomly and I’m running out of ideas where the problem might be. From the stack trace, it seems to be related to OpenGL. I’m using a native plugin to render models in some scenes, so I disable the ‘Automatic’ option in graphics API and set OpenGL2 as default. And the game crashes at random point. If ‘Metal’ is set as default, the game works fine (only that my plugin won’t work, since when GL.IssuePluginEvent calls my render function, it is not passing a OpenGL context (null), but that is another problem entirely).

The game either crashes at ‘Drawbuffers()’ or ‘PresentGLES()’ function. I’ve searched through the forum for similar problems, but to no avail. The closest I could find is the one below:

I’ve also attached a screenshot of the crash stack trace in the picture. I’m relatively new to game development. Anyone could shed light on this? Thanks much!
P.S: It’s only reproducible with iphone 5s and above. I suspect it has something to do with A7 chipset and higher, but I don’t know where to start looking.

Similar problem here with 2017.2.x and OpenGLES 2 or 3 on any device. With Metal problem disappears.

Hey did you ever find the solution for this?
