    We are having quite some troubles switching from 2022.1 to 2022.2.21

    It seems that the depth is still broken
    In a new unity project the depth is also broken, but similar to how it was in 2022.1

    You see the depth repeating, which breaks depth based effects such as DOF and more

    Rendering debugger - material - gbuffer - depth

    This representation is only used when using debug visualization and is expected. The goal of the repeating pattern is to make things more readable when most of the time the regular depth gradient would be too slow to change to make things easy to spot.
    It does not represent the actual state of the depth buffer (a quick capture with renderdoc will show the proper depth for example).

    Ah really? Ok then I can't really explain why DOF does sometimes affect the top of our character when standing at a certain height on the screen, this looked exactly like that, and its somehow not shader related

    Are you using orthographic projection? As stated in the documentation (here: HD Camera), it is currently not supported by HDRP for exactly the reason you are observing.

    Hey, its using normal perspective, I think around 40°, not even close to parallel perspective

    Alright we will investigate what is going on there if this debug view is intentional
