Maximum shader keywords exceeded

[Elecman]

After converting my project to the LP, I get this error:

Maximum number (256) of shader keywords exceeded

I never had this error in my project before. How do I fix it?

Keyword Reporting and Removal tools [FREE]

Okay, so I saw a need in the community for shader keyword Reporting and Removal tools, so here they are. They’re kinda barebones, but ideally you won’t have to use them more than once: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yavnugc6plt43gj/KeywordTools.unitypackage?dl=0 Let me know if these helped or not. Thanks. Update 6: Changed “Reporter” to add a section for shaders that list their associated materials. Update 5: Fixed an issue where the Obliterater was having argument out of range exceptions. Upd…

[SOLVED] 64 Keyword Limit questions

So I found out that we are limited to 64 keywords via Unity's shader documentation, and naturally had a few questions: How does the system count the number of keywords? Does it include ones that are only ever defined within a shader and not used outside it? Is it limited to those defined as part of #multi_compile directives? The documentation says it applies to all shaders in a given project. So does that mean I can reduce the count by removing shaders I am not using? Is there any way that I …

This issue related to SRP (I assume you say convert to lightweight project) should be fixed in b4 + latest github master (so not in Template or a tagged release). We were using ToggleOff in .shader a bit everywhere which where creating unecessary keyword. This have been replace in b4 by ToggleUI that don’t generate keyword. You will need to be patient to get the fix in a Template but this shouldn’t hurt you case of LW.

Ok, thanks.

The issue is still present in b6.

You still need a new LW pipeline for it from github.

I have that one. I think the problem is that the git SRP comes with too many examples with too many shader variants. The problem goes away when I delete all examples.

Have this problem as well and not even using SRP yet.
This problem completely kills projects using several asset store shader products.
Happening for me in b7

try getting it from the hub instead, worked for me

Indeed, probably because its beta. its not meant to work with anything asset store yet.
