Bug 2023.1.0f1 Prefab Mode Throws a load of Errors on MacOS

Hi there,

On MacOS (Apple Silicon) (not sure on other OS's) when I enter prefab mode from the scene view (in place prefab editor) I'm getting the errors listed below. I have also created a bug report (CASE IN-44904) with an attached project.

Thanks, Justin

To give more information, this error happens all the time when you access the prefab mode from a game object in the scene to view the in-place editor in the scene view.

Have checked the latest version (2023.1.1f1) as well and the problem still persists. As you can see in the attached image the scene view also goes a bit screwy.

 

This is also happening for me on mac, unity 2022.3.3

 

I'm using Unity 2023.1.2f1 on Windows 11. I can confirm that it is happening only when I enter to prefab editing via hierarchy arrow. Editing prefabs from project menu doesnt trigger any problems.

I also have a second error:

Code (CSharp):

1. Assertion failed
2. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

 

I'm facing a problem that leads to the same error and very similar stack trace in Unity 2022.3.5f1. The windows editor does not seem to be affected, but the Linux build of our game is currently broken because of this (stack trace below).
I have checked on SteamOS (steam deck) and Ubuntu 23.04.

I have tried to workarround this error, by deactivating the opaque texture in our URP rendering settings. This lead to a similar error occuring during post processing, so I deactivated this as-well. Now there is no more error, but instead of seeing the 3D scene it's just gray. The canvas elements work fine.

I have tried Forward and Deferred rendering - both don't work.

Took me a lot of trial and error, but I found out, that at least for my situation it is related to the "Allow Dynamic Resolution" feature of the camera. Deactivating it on Linux makes the whole thing work for me. Maybe this helps to identify the problem or is a suitable workaround for others.

 

Facing the same issue on 2022.3.2f1 using URP, no luck finding a solution yet.
Only way around it for me is restarting the editor, super annoying

EDIT: same as what @Machmet mentioned, it happens if you enter prefab mode from the game object in the scene hierarchy, but not from the project window

 

Unfortunately I ran into the same crash on Xbox One (haven't tested Series yet). There I could not work arround, by deactivating "Allow Dynamic Resolution", so I'm currently stuck and have to wait until this is fixed.

I found out that it's easily reproducable on linux by creating a URP 3D sample project, setting the 3d engine to Vulkan and enabling "Allow Dynamic Resolution" for the camera. I have submitted a bug report on this (IN-51435).

 

We hit similar issues in 2022.3 LTS - dynamic resolution seems pretty broken in URP and is totally unusable for us. We filed bug reports a while ago (not fixed yet) and added to issues on the dynamic resolution reference/examples github (no reply).

 

There are just lots of these in various form with the present editor. I get null-ptr bugs having an object selected that's moved to DontDestroyOnLoad, other of the same when an object is select and the game run, and general inconsistent faults where the editor seems to be wanting to draw the inspector interface for something when it enters runtime. Sometimes the log records a couple of errors, and sometimes it's flooded until I select a different object.

There are clearly underlying Editor bugs.

 

Yes, something is really broken here. Not sure if there is any other channel we can use to point unity devs to this. For us it's a very severe problem.
