What version of URP am I supposed to be using?

Seriously confused by which version of URP is current / suggested.

My project uses the 2D Renderer. I’m using the current Unity LTS version 2019.4.6f1. In Package Manager, the newest version of URP that is available is 7.4.1.

I found a bug with 7.4.1, and reported it, and was told that it was fixed in version 8.0.1. According to the URP documentation, the only way to update URP is through Package Manager.

I’ve seen in several places that you can update to a specific version by editing the manifest.json file. Is it normal to do that? Is that how everyone else is updating?

And what version should I even be updating to? Version 9 and 10 say “preview” on them on this website: Upgrading to version 8.2.x of the Universal Render Pipeline | Universal RP | 10.0.0-preview.26 so should I be using version 8? What is the current version number for 8?

I feel like I’m missing some information, or a website or something. Would really appreciate some help.

Hey,
For Unity 2019.x you should be using URP from the 7 major version.
URP 8.0.1 is for Unity 2020.1.

Can you give me the ID of the bug you reported so I can check if it’s possible to backport it to our 7 branch?

Hey Elvar, thanks for the reply! The person that responded to my bug report also messaged me back last night correcting themselves that I would need Unity version 2020.1.

The bug report was Case #1268201.

Thanks for taking a look at it!

Hey @Elvar_Orn - I just updated to 2020.1.1f1, which updated me to URP 8.2.0. The bug still appears to exist. I made a fresh project repro with the new versions here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ded4nxHOC9koAm-h2oEc6cmUKDCdwVDJ/view?usp=sharing

Steps to reproduce: Create a fresh project using 2D Template. Use Package Manager to install URP 8.2.0. Create the pipeline / 2D renderer assets, and apply them to the project. Add a Point Light 2D to the scene, and select the “Use Normal Map” box on it. Build and Run the game with Developer mode to see the log output. Results in that “color and depth textures dont match” error (not the exact wording)

I also emailed back the person on that Bug Report Case #1268201 with a link to that updated repro project.

Thanks for any help!

Thank you!
I will poke the 2D team to take a look at this. This is a weird one.

I can confirm this bug is present in URP 8.2.0. We’ll backport the fix to as many old versions as possible when we resolve the case.

@yuanxing_cai Thanks a lot!!
