I created materials with shadergraph.
Materials previewing has errors in Inspector (If I disabled OpaqueTexture in pipeline settings, nothing goes wrong):

I notice that theres the same errors if my cursor hovering over some labels in Inspector:

btw my Materials is fine in the scene.

i also have a report for this problem still found in the latest a18
case number IN-9379

adamgolden · August 6, 2022, 5:38am

Thanks for this tip - the same error (Blitter.cs line 238) has been spamming my console in 2022.2 and 2023.1 along with flickering in the Scene window, transparent things seemingly drawing over themselves random numbers of times and other weirdness - even in brand new projects with nothing but simple assets imported.

However, with Opaque texture disabled, I can select objects in the scene that have transparent materials without getting the errors (“Assertion Failed” in GUIUtility:ProcessEvent and the Blitter.cs one).

I’m doing this now to enable it for Play Mode/builds and disable it for Edit Mode… added to a GameObject in the Hierarchy:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal;
[ExecuteAlways]
public class URPOpaqueTextureToggler : MonoBehaviour
{
  private void Start()
  {
    UniversalRenderPipelineAsset urp = (UniversalRenderPipelineAsset)GraphicsSettings.currentRenderPipeline;
    urp.supportsCameraOpaqueTexture = Application.isPlaying;
    // Debug.Log(urp.name + " Opaque Texture " + (urp.supportsCameraOpaqueTexture ? "Enabled" : "Disabled"));
  }
}

Also having this issue on 2022.2.0b3

rhys_vdw · March 14, 2023, 5:48am

Having this issue in 2022.2.10f, coming this call in a render pass:

Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, _cameraColorTarget, _cameraColorTarget, _material, 0);

I’ve checked and no arguments being passed are null.

rhys_vdw · March 14, 2023, 6:52am

We do not have opaque texture enabled.

ChebanovDD · April 6, 2023, 8:05am

Hi. Did you manage to solve the problem?

rhys_vdw · April 8, 2023, 8:29am

Yes, for context our issue is that we’re using BlitCameraTexture with a material that has no source input, so the confusion arose from what to pass to the “source” argument. If we were to pass null there would also be an error, so we can’t do that. We were passing in the same handle for both source and dest, which was fine on older versions of URP. So our tech artist’s solution was to create a dummy texture that we can use instead:

    public override void Create() {
      _renderPass = new OutlinePass();
      _dummyHandle = RTHandles.Alloc(1, 1);
    }

// ...

      _renderPass.Setup(renderer.cameraColorTargetHandle, _dummyHandle, _material, PassSettings.RenderPassEvent);

// ...

      public override void Execute(ScriptableRenderContext context, ref RenderingData renderingData) {
        if (_material == null || _cameraColorTarget == null) {
          return;
        }

        CommandBuffer cmd = CommandBufferPool.Get();
        using (new ProfilingScope(cmd, m_ProfilingSampler)) {
          // TODO: ideally, blit with source texture null. (This causes an error.)
          // Instead, use a dummy RTHandle.
          Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(cmd, _dummySourceHandle, _cameraColorTarget, _material, 0);
        }
        context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd);

My custom render feature was throwing that same error (on Blitter.BlitCamreaTexture) any time the editor tried to draw a preview - so it wasn’t a problem in builds or on full screen play mode, but it was pretty annoying to have to toggle off the render feature when working in edit mode.

Adding this to the start of the render feature’s Execute function fixed the issue for me:
if (renderingData.cameraData.isPreviewCamera) return;

StuwuStudio · June 22, 2023, 11:59pm

How is this still an issue.

omichi_kento · June 23, 2023, 3:13am

There are 2 Different issues going on this thread.

The issue oretakemitsu has reported(ArgumentNullException error appears when you search object on hierarchy and refresh GameView with your render pipeline has OpaqueTexture on.)
The issue with Blitter.BlitCamreaTexture usage.

2nd issue could be solved with what CaptainJP said above.
But the 1st issue is still a problem and not solved.

StuwuStudio · June 23, 2023, 11:22pm

I wasn’t satisfied with CaptainJP’s solution. It’s weird to have to manage an empty UAV for no reason. I wish we had CoreUtils.emptyUAV but as a handle instead, and already provided for us.

MuYiii · June 30, 2023, 8:27am

Has this bug been resolved?

lx38 · July 3, 2023, 7:17am

Why hasn’t this stupid bug been fixed ！！！

omichi_kento · July 3, 2023, 9:53am

this is the issue tracker.
All we can is waiting…

SuperDuck2024 · September 13, 2023, 3:38pm

It’s the same issue; whenever I input anything into the search bar, it triggers this error. Report on Unity 2022.3.3f1 lts

yunzhencai · October 9, 2023, 7:00am

Same issue here, I’m using 2022.3.8f1 urp render pipeline.

Errors are like:
ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Assertion failed
UnityEngine.Rendering.Blitter:BlitTexture (UnityEngine.Rendering.CommandBuffer,UnityEngine.Rendering.RTHandle,UnityEngine.Vector4,UnityEngine.Material,int)
KeepFrameFeature/DrawOldFramePass:Execute (UnityEngine.Rendering.ScriptableRenderContext,UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.RenderingData&) (at Assets/Samples/Universal RP/14.0.8/URP Package Samples/RendererFeatures/KeepFrame/KeepFrameFeature.cs:63)
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

It happend when running a new project, with just simple blocks with gravity, these errors evoked and usually caused Unity to crash.

firdiar · November 22, 2023, 7:52am

any update?
putting this still giving me the error

        context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd);

this was works for me, so after i learn, it’s only happen when you targeting the pass before transparent.
from there reference FullScreenPassRendererFeature.cs it was using cameraData.renderer.GetCameraColorBackBuffer(cmd). but since GetCameraColorBackBuffer is internal only, so using this should works RTHandles.Alloc(1, 1)
