random Editor Crash on entering play mode

Unity Engine

this seems to happen at random, hard to replicate intentionally, but it happens multiple times a day.
here’s some snippets from the Editor.log file afterwards

If you’re able to sometimes reproduce the issue, I think it would help if you submit a bug-report as described in this document:

It’s important that you report these issues together with a reproduction project if you want them to get fixed. If you don’t do it, it might be a long time until someone else reports them or until Unity Technologies find them.

After you submitted the bug-report, you receive a confirmation email with a bug-report Case number. Please post the Case number (number only, not the link) in this forum thread for Unity staff to pick up.

I would do so if it was easily reproducible. However, it’s not, so there’s not a project I can put together. It’s probably something rarely specific to my project, so I gave them a stack trace here. Hopefully the trace makes it obvious what is actually causing the crash.

i have kind of the same crash (RenderPlayModeViewCamerasInternal_Injected)

Thanks for raising this. We are trying to track down the cause.

My Editor crashed while editing the particle system. I have send allready the Crash Bug Report.

Thank you! Do you know your case number? It will help me find it faster.

8

it constantly happens with Point Lights that are in viewport of camera (URP)

9

Any chance of a bug report? It would definitely help us fix it faster.

10

yea, Case 1207828

thanks

2019.3.0f3 crashes all the time, several times a day. Mostly during play mode, but nothing specific that I can reproduce reliably.

12

turns out my issue is well known and not so new

i guess wont be fixed anytime soon

13

It’s being looked at - keep the faith :slight_smile:

I stopped getting this crash with the previous Unity update, but I updated to latest again today and I’m crashing constantly after moments in Play mode, impossible to debug like this.

15

I’ve just had another look at the bug report, to see where we are at regarding a fix.

It looks like we made a fix for it in URP 7.2.0, but the most recent info on the bug suggests that our fix hasn’t fully resolved the issue. So it’s still ongoing :frowning:

16

2019.3.3f1 has same crashing issues

17

If anything it seems to happen even more frequently on latest. I often can’t get more than a couple minutes of work done before crashing. I’ve already sent several crash reports. Unfortunately, I am not doing anything specific when I crash, so I can’t really give any further details. For example, sometimes it just happens right away after loading the project, before I even have a chance to do anything at all. I have even tried deleting my project and redownloading it from the cloud just in case it has cached anything broken, and same for the editor itself, but no dice.

18

We’re still trying to narrow down the cause. It is being worked on and it is a high priority to fix this.

Unfortunately still happens in 4f1. However, I replaced the Point Lights in my scene with Spotlights and it doesn’t seem to crash any more.

20

After getting a chance to actually dig into it, I’m thinking that original crash (from exiting play mode) is because I de-allocate a render texture which an async GetData is waiting on, which causes Unity to crash. I submitted a bug report about it, and for now just made sure the async request is completed before de-allocating the resource.
