(2024-02-17) Asynchronous object instantiation

Asynchronous object instantiation

I have been using Unity professionally since 2011 and in every project, I encounter the problem that Unity's async functionality is not fully asynchronous. I raised this issue many years ago without any resolution and today I would like to bring it up again, hoping that you will consider my feedback this time. In every project I have worked on, it is necessary that at some point during the gameplay, the game needs to load and instantiate new content. There are many cases where you can't create…

(2023-12-26) Hub: Add setting for “Connect to Unity Cloud”

Please allow us to change the default setting for cloud etc.

[9508462--1339783--upload_2023-12-3_10-51-30.png] Is it possible to choose different default settings for the hub? I don't want to use the cloud and I would love my organization to be selected by default. It's just one annoying step I have to remember when spinning up a new quick test project. Thank you for listening.

How to sample shadow-map? (ShaderGraph, URP)

I can't find a Node to sample the shadow-map. How can I sample the shadow-map in ShaderGraph?

(2023-12-23) How to specify “LightMode” tag? (ShaderGraph, URP)

How to specify "LightMode" tag? (ShaderGraph, URP)

I'm working on a shader that must render using a custom LightMode tag. In ShaderLab I can simply specify: Tags { "LightMode"="MyCustomLightModeTag" } How can you I specify a LightMode tag in ShaderGraph? I'm currently using Unity 2022.3 with URP Forward+.

(2023-12-23) How to implement multiple shader passes? (ShaderGraph, URP)

How to implement multiple shader passes? (ShaderGraph, URP)

I'm trying to convert some VFX shaders to ShaderGraph, but I can't find how I can implement multiple passes in ShaderGraph. I need ShaderGraph to generate the usual UniversalForward pass, but then also one or multiple custom passes. How would I do that?

(2023-12-17) How to disable Fog in Lit material? (ShaderGraph, URP)

How to disable Fog in Lit material? (ShaderGraph, URP)

I have a Lit Shadergraph that I don't want to be affected by fog. I don't want to switch to Unlit because I still need the other lit properties. In the built-in rendering pipeline, I could add "#pragma nofog". How can I achieve this in URP and Shadergraph? I'm currently using Unity 2022.3 with URP Forward+.

(2023-12-19) ShaderGraph: “Store variable” node

Plans for a "store variable" node?

In my experience with shader graph the addition that would bring the most benefit relative to the effort of implementing it would be the ability to store values into variables and reuse these variables across the graph. Simple things like transforming some direction from world space to object space currently have to be repeated where needed, which is an unnecessary hit on performance. To work around this, one can connect the same node to multiple places, but then the graph ends up looking like…

(2023-12-14) Improve “Assertion failed on expression: ‘particles.array_size() == count’” error message

Improve "Assertion failed on expression: 'particles.array_size() == count'" error message

Sometimes the editor crashes with the following errors: Assertion failed on expression: 'particles.array_size() == count' Assertion failed on expression: 'count >= toIndex' It would be enormously helpful if the name of the ParticleSystem/GameObject is also included in the error message. @karl_jones @richardkettlewell

(2023-07-29) Improve “Destroy may not be called from edit mode” error

Improve "Destroy may not be called from edit mode" error

Sometimes my game outputs the following error: Destroy may not be called from edit mode! Use DestroyImmediate instead. Destroying an object in edit mode destroys it permanently. It would be very helpful when the error message contains the name of the object on which Destroy was called.

(2023-04-27) Unify your Services C# API’s

Unify your Services C# API's

Can you possibly unify the Services C# APIs? See, some of them have "Instance" while others don't. I'd prefer if you could standardize it, preferably by using only a static class without "Instance". UnityServices.InitializeAsync(); AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync(); LeaderboardsService.Instance.AddPlayerScoreAsync();

(2023-04-27) My Feedback on the Leaderboard Service

My Feedback on the Leaderboard Service

Today, I checked out the Leaderboard Service and integrated it into a test project. Setting up leaderboards was a breeze. The dashboard and online documentation made it super easy. Honestly, it couldn't be simpler. Integrating the code was also straightforward. The C# API for the leaderboards was easy to use too. I wanted to commend you for creating such a great product. I did notice a few things during my testing, though. Firstly, the GetPlayerRangeAsync function throws a "HttpExcepti…

(2023-04-19) Fail BuildPlayer when Addressables content build failed

Fail BuildPlayer when Addressables content build failed

Actual behavior with Unity 2022.2.11: When the Addressables content build fails, Unity still continues to build the player and acts like the build process succeeded, where in reality, the Player throws all sorts of load errors. [8958978--1230675--upload_2023-4-19_10-53-58.png] Expected behavior: When the Addressables content build fails, the "Build Player" process should fail as well.

(2023-04-05) Option to limit “Unity Shader Compiler” processes

Option to limit "Unity Shader Compiler" processes

Unity spawns a lot of Unity Shader Compiler processes when building a Player. Unity spawns so many of these processes, that the PC is pretty much unusable, while the build process is running. This is not a problem on a dedicated build machine. It's however a problem when one would like to continue to work on the same machine, which is my typical work-scenario. When I trigger a build in Unity, I want to do other work on the same PC, while Unity is building the player. However, since so many U…

(2023-02-15) Bug-fix for ArgumentOutOfRangeException in PlayerInput

Bug-fix for ArgumentOutOfRangeException in PlayerInput

@Rene-Damm @James-McGill PlayerInput randomly causes ArgumentOutOfRangeException's in our game when switching scenes. I made the following changes to PlayerInput.cs to fix them: [8808925--1198168--upload_2023-2-15_16-20-39.png] Can you please integrate these changes in the Input System code?

(2022-12-11) Improve “Error assigning CUBE texture to 2D texture” error message

Improve "Error assigning CUBE texture to 2D texture" error message

Sometimes Unity outputs the following error with my project: Error assigning CUBE texture to 2D texture property '_MainTex': Dimensions must match UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&) It would be very useful when the error message contains the name of the asset that is causing the problem. Furthermore it would be very useful when the asset is pinged when I select the error message.

(2022-05-24) Addressables: Make “SimplifyAddresses” API public

Make "SimplifyAddresses" API public

In order to get Play Asset Delivery to work, we need to run “Simply Addressable Names” on AssetGroups, otherwise the build fails, because paths are too long. Now we don’t want to do this every time by hand when we add a new group. We want to automate this process instead. For this reason I ask you to provide the functionality found in UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.GUI.AddressableAssetEntryTreeView.SimplifyAddresses to be used via public API. Something like: public static void SimplifyAddressa…

(2022-03-24) Unity Hub: Implement option to turn off auto-updates

Implement option to turn off auto-updates

The Hub downloads and installs updates automatically: [7989741--1026621--upload_2022-3-24_7-21-43.png] Can you please add an option to toggle this behavior? I would like to disable auto-updates and decide when to update. Not being able to turn off auto-updates has a bitter taste after the node-ipc incident which is the main reason why I want this toggle to happen. I assume chances are reduced to be affected by such incidents when turning auto-updates off.

2021.2 regression: Unable to focus Unity editor with single click from Windows taskbar

I've worked the past two years with Unity 2019.3/.4 and just recently switched to Unity 2021.2 to start a new project. One major annoyance for me in 2021.2 is that every time I change a Script and want to switch back to Unity by clicking the Unity icon in the Windows taskbar, it not only shows the editor there, but also the "Reload Script Assemblies" progress-bar. This is very annoying, because I'm no longer able to switch back to Unity with one click. I have to click the Unity taskbar item,…

Unfortunately, this message doesn’t specify what shader is causing the error. Please add the shader name to the error message.

Build "assets search index" on project import

When opening an existing project without Library folder (when pulled from version control) causes Unity to import/load all assets. Once the project has been opened and then using the new Search, causes Unity to load all assets again to build the assets search index. During this time, the editor turns pretty much unusable, because of freezes that occur when loading assets. I wonder if you can build the search index during project import already, to avoid the double-waiting-time and hide the f…

Editor Performance Feedback

I compared performance of Unity 2019.3 and Unity 4.6, because one of the most painful things for me is how slow the Editor became over the years. I tried to express it in a bit more detail in this thread .

(2020-04-13) Do not randomly change Move Tool position after Duplicate command

Hi @Peter77 could you enter a bug for this one please ?

[Peter77]

@neil_devine

could you enter a bug for this one please ?

(Case 1251440) Move Tool position changes after duplicating GameObject selection

The bug-report has a pretty weak quality weighting, so I’m not sure if it makes it through QA, unless you pick it yourself.

[neil_devine]

thanks ! will keep an eye out for it to make sure it follows through

@Peter77

(Case 1251440) Move Tool position changes after duplicating GameObject selection

Why was this bug closed with “won’t fix” and this note:

@Issue Tracker

Will probably be addressed by future work, for now we can simply suggest a workaround which is to hold SHIFT and left-clicking a selected object.

If it gets addressed by future work, why not leaving it open and set it to “Fixed” once that future work is done? Since this is now officially out of your system, I actually doubt that it gets addressed at all.
