Hi there!
I’m experiencing a crash on my game launch. It happened on one unlucky day on my HTC Incredible S and I have no idea how to deal with it so far. Previously the game started and working on this phone just fine (on Android 2.3.5). After unknown circumstances it started to block the phone completely to full system hang and subsequent device reboot. After installing previous versions of the game which definitely were working nothing changed. I decided to make a factory reset - no effect again! Then I updated to Android 4.0.4 and the game still crashes. However, on a latter Android I’m able to view a crash report and observe there this fatal error:
java.lang.Error: FATAL EXCEPTION [UnityMain]

Any ideas what can cause the problem? Shader.WarmupAllShaders is required to abort a jittery game start.
Update: if I comment out Shader.WarmupAllShaders() call then the game starts and works fine. But I need to mention here that I did not change shaders for a long time before the bug came out. The only thing I did is updated Unity. But another interesting thing here is that I’ve tried to install and run APK files build with older Unity versions. As I said, these game versions were 100% working before on the same Android version which were used originally to run these APKs. What I did with my test phone is just installed/removed some apps from Google Play. And my phone is not rooted, it had a stock Android version.
Update 2: it seems that the crash happens on a wide range of Adreno GPU family:
- HTC Desire X (Adreno 203)
- HTC Incredible S (Adreno 205)
- HTC One S (Adreno 225)
