2D point lights create a thin dark line [BUG]

2D Point lights using LWRP 2019.2 have a very small line where light is not projected, pointing straight down (When rotation is 0). This is due to the inner and outer angle of the light. In my test case, both of these angles have been set to 360, however changing these values increases the size of the black line. This black line is small to the point of almost being unnoticable and you need to zoom right in to see the line, however it can occassionally be seen in the game view.

I know that this issue is due to the 2D lights, and I have been able to reproduce this problem in an empty project.

How can I remove this small black line? The problem seems to only be for point lights, so is there another light with the same function and flexibility of a point light that will do the same thing?

The first image shows the line in the editor, in a otherwise blank project, and the right screenshot shows a game view of the light, with a few darkened pixels not affected by the light. If I turned up the quality even further, then this would be a very thin line. If global lighting is used instead of point lighting, this problem goes away.

 

Hello! I do have a pretty similar problem as you.

The line is not visible all the time. All depend the position of the camera from the 2D light.

Mind if I add these:

This is there at all times in my game and scene view, you just need to zoom in or increase the resolution far enough to see it.

 

Yes, but if the Camera mouves and zoom the line will be present even when builded.

 

Have same problem :/ Have anyone a solution or some tricky way to avoid it?

 

Well you could use a Parametric light and set its side count to a high number.

 

Yes is there an issue report for this yet?

 

Same here.

I found that you can configure the Parametric light to work almost the same as a Point light. Set the "Sides" to 10+ depending on your need, then the "Radius" and "Falloff" fields will be equivalent to the "Inner Radius" and "Outer Radius" of the Point light.

 

I feel like this is the same bug I am still getting currently I am using Unity 2019.2.15f1 as well. It appears at the bottom of my sprite and even adding more point lights do not fix it so I know it isn't a shadow. The object the line is attached to spins in a 360 direction which causes the line to spin as well exactly from the bottom. It did not appear until I swapped to the lightweight render pipeline. I changed all the rendering properties in the RPL asset and it did not solve the problem. The more you zoom in the more you see the line/the bigger it is. But it is ALWAYS visible. This is what it looks like: https://gyazo.com/520d0e73b07f85ab12c49c58df388841

Edit: I did not see it was fixed for unity 2019.3, I just saw the post was in sep and figured it was fixed already.

 

You can fix this by using "Parametric" light with 48 Sides.
It is work like "Point" light, but without this strange bug.

 

i am using unity 2023 and i have this bug

 

same, blinking.
2023.
