Unity terrain with Planar Reflection probe crashes in HDRP

Is this a known bug ?

I use Unity 2019.2.9f1 and HDRP 6.9.2

Thanks

Not sure which forum to post it on, so guess will keep the one that gets an answer and delete the rest

Hi nasos_333,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We are working on the fix of the issue.

Here’s an issuetracker link to check the status of the issue: Unity Issue Tracker - [SRP] Two or more cameras/reflection probes rendering Terrain crashes with 'QuadTreeNodeRenderer::AddAsRenderNode'

Hi, thanks a lot, i am stuck in my HDRP water demo because cannot use the terrain with the planar reflect probe due to crashes. I use mesh terrain now but would prefer use unity one for final demo and be sure users will not have crashes if use unity terrain.

I have sent a bug report as well today, for better reference

I checked the issue tracking, is the votes needed to fix this one ? I mean will be fixed even if not upvoted, or may be fixed much later ?

I am about to release a new water system and this bug prevents any further action, as i cannot tell which version of unity will play in and where will crash, also is not clear how to prevent this without users upgrading, because most users will simply use the unity version they have, which means instant one star reviews if the asset is released without the planar probe working for everyone, even those that wont upgrade to a new version.

Is there a script i can add to prevent this crash for example in general case ?

Thanks

Hi,

I have another update on this matter, i have made a custom depth renderer and when i use it with meshes is fine, but when in insert a Unity terrain it crashes, so seems like any other camera trying to render the terrain causes a crash.

This happened in LWRP, so i think is a global issue and not just in HDRP

Hi,

Is there any update on this issue ?

This renders Unity completely unusable, it should be priority #1 as nothing works now, any system that uses an extra camera cannot be in the Asset Store for any pipeline, as is going to crash when user enters a terrain in the scene.

This is holding back now two new assets i planned to release, is an extremely unfortunate situation.

Hi,
thanks for having report this issue.
we have fix the issue but it will be only available in unity binary 2019.3b13.

(It is because intermediate renderer (i.e terrain) are never freeing per frame with custom SRP camera (i.e planar reflection). The cleanup have been move to camera culling instead.)

Hi,

This is great news :slight_smile:

So would you suggest i target my new HDRP asset and LWRP asset to Unity 2019.3b13 as first version ?

Is there a way to overcome this issue for previous versions (as in both new assets i use a 2ond camera, one for planar probe and one for top down rendering of terrain) so i can cover more Unity versions currently in use for the upcoming assets ?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there any update on this issue ? Should all our work on SRPs be moved to Unity 2019.3 beta ? Also the suggested beta with the fix is not released yet.

It makes no sense that all SRPs so far are unusable because of this issue, it should be patched to all versions so far and not only some future version (where btw nothing currently in development will work as it is so much different than previous SRP versions and is still Beta even)

Should we make an announcement to all customers that Unity will 100% crash if another camera is used or that they cannot use the Unity terrain ? This renders everything unusable and is a disaster for assets that use such camera.

Please consider doing a patch for this for all versions so far so we can work, it is not enough to fix in some future version that may release next year.

Hi!

The fix should come with the release of Unity 2019.3, there’s also a backport for 2019.2, but unfortunately, there’s no estimated date when the backport will be available.

Can you share editor logs and repro steps on how you reproduced this in LWRP? The cases I’ve checked were all tied to HDRP.

Hi

I can do a minimal project to reproduce and send tomorrow, generally i call a camera render from a top down camera and repeat it, then when terrain is used crashes. My guess is that is very similar to hdrp crash, both use 2ond camera rendering the terrain

Hi,

I sent the crashing project, it is bug Case 1201152, i hope it helps

16

Hey,

Thanks for the report! I’ve checked the project and the crash is identical to the one in HDRP. This is already addressed with 2019.3 upcoming release and will be backported to 2019.2 as well.

17

That is great :), thanks.

Hi,

Is there any time frame for the backporting to 2019.2, so can be used in pre 2019.3 versions as well ?

Thanks

Hey,

A fix for 2019.2 comes with 2019.2.16f1 version of Unity, it should be out in about 3 weeks.
