Yet another Black screen issue

Unity Engine

Info:
Galaxy S3 (and possible other devices) render black screens 100% of the time on cameras with Image Effects attached, on Unity 4.6.1 (including patch releases 1-3). This issue was not present with Unity 4.5.5.
My player settings include 32-bit Display buffer, 24-bit Depth buffer, and Force OpenGL ES 2.0.
My test S3 is running Android 4.4.2.

This is a separate issue from this black screen which freezes the game entirely, while this bug only affects rendering.

Full repro steps:

  • Make new project in Unity 4.6.1
  • Import Image Effects package
  • Add one of Fisheye, Bloom, Blur, Noise, etc to the main camera
  • Build the APK
  • Run the APK on the Galaxy S3

I’ve already filed a bug report but I have an urgent deadline looming and was wondering if anyone had any workarounds.

Why start a new thread, cant you just paste this under the existing Black Screen thread.

Always post the case number in case someone from Unity spots the thread.

@MrEsquire : This is an entirely separate issue. This is purely a rendering issue due to image effects that doesn’t affect code execution at all, while the other issue is an immediate app freeze on start. I felt that since the only thing they share is the color on the screen, it warranted a separate thread to discuss affected devices, workarounds, etc.

@Dantus : Good call, the case number is 661748. I’ve been in contact with a Unity developer and will keep the thread updated if I hear of any progress.
