Any functionnal docs or course about the new Unity.Networking system ? The GitHub documentation is deprecated and not really useful.

“With this release, we’re reintroducing the ability to edit Prefab Assets in the Inspector once you’ve selected the Prefab in the Project view.”

Will this be part of 2018.4 too?

I’m not seeing ARFoundation (ARCore/ARKit) in 2019.1.0f2. Anyone else experiencing this?

7

You need to enable the show preview packages checkbox in the package manager to see them as they are still in preview

Most likely not.

Great job :(,
starting project → crash → crashreport…
Is there something like a “safe mode”?

10

Why not?

I’m totally baffled by the amount of improvements and new features in this release. When did you work on all this stuff?

All these new packages seem to come out of the nowhere :hushed:

Entering into play mode without domain reload seems very interesting and really big feature that’s barely mentioned.

I’m getting lost between all these versions. :stuck_out_tongue:

Just for clarification - if I hide something with the new visibility tools it shouldn’t be clickable anymore, right? I can still click on a hidden Canvas and it still gets in the way. I was hoping for this to be the solution, so I don’t have to go into the layer menu every single time.

I upgraded a VR LWRP project from 2018.3.11 to 2019.1.0f1 to 2019.1.0f2 and the header still says “[PREVIEW PACKAGES IN USE]”

Here is a screenshot of the Package Manager:

Any ideas as to why it still says this?

Camera Stacking doesn’t seem to be supported in the legacy rendering pipeline. Is this meant to be the case?
Also, I’m getting very slow scene saving speeds, where saving a few scenes used to take 4 seconds now takes 2 minutes.

I just encountered this same problem. I hope this is just a bug, I NEED camera stacking to work, my team is in the middle of a crunch and we were waiting for 2019 to come out of beta to get some unity bugs fixed that affected our game. Now I have to choose which bug is worse :frowning:

To explain a bit further: Camera clear flags is set to depth only but the background is black and I can’t see the other camera that is behind the first camera. I’m not using any new rendering pipeline, I’m sticking to the legacy one.

I just worked around that bug by changing either the W or the H of the main camera (the one at the bottom without clear flags depth only). To make it similar to the normal size I put W = 0,9999 instead of W = 1. I will try to report this bug through Unity right now.

I have the same problem, even not using any preview package

As far as I know, Camera Stacking should continue to work in the built-in render pipeline. It’s not supported in LWRP though, explanation here.

Could you please submit bug-reports for the issues you found, 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.
