Text Mesh Pro Issue

[AWildCoconut]

I have a big issue with my Text Mesh Pro text, basically it seems to not be working (completely invisible) when i build my game to Intel on Mac, but it does work when I build it to Intel+Silicon on Mac. Nothing in console is out of the ordinary. Additionally, some of the text appears to be unaffected, mostly text that is instantiated at runtime.

Sure its not off camera due to malaligned achors?

[AWildCoconut]

No, it works in the Intel+Silicon build just fine. Then I build it to Intel only, and its gone.

Is your canvas in overlay mode?

[AWildCoconut]

Yeah, screen space overlay, it has scale with screen size on.

So you’re likely affected but the bug many people have, where TextMeshPro UI components disappear when displayed on Canvas with Overlay mode. See these:

Textmesh Pro disappear during gameplay

Hello all, In our game, suddenly all Text Mesh Pro UGUI components became transparent. That happens in editor, android and iOS, but is way more common in iOS, principally in iPhone X. During one time that happen in editor, was notice that the text is only transparent in game view, staying normal in scene. The component went back to normal if the font/material was replaced and nothing changes when a different scene is loaded. That error happens more frequently when all the scenes are unloaded…

TextMeshPro GUI text disappear after build

For some people, it’s caused by mixture of TMPro and TMProUGUI sharing the same material.
Not my case, though, I don’t use TMPro and users still report invisible texts…
