[5.3] Crash when Application.LoadLevel is called on Awake()

repro steps:

• Have two (empty) scenes added to the scene list in build settings
• On the first scene, have this script running:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class FirstScene : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     void Awake()
4.     {
5.         DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
6.         Application.LoadLevel("SecondScene");
7.     }
8.  
9.  
10.     void OnGUI()
11.     {
12.         if (GUILayout.Button("Button that will generate the crash"))
13.         {
14.             var obj = new GameObject("IWillNeverSeeTheLight");      
15.         }
16.     }
17. }
18.  

as soon as you hit the button the ide crashes

nice
thank you

 

@ekt as a temporary fix I found moving SceneManager.LoadScene/Application.LoadLevel into Start worked for me.

 

Still a problem for us, p4

 

Confirmed, crashes in Unity 5.3.1f1 in the Editor in Windows 8 with the above mentioned code. Sometimes it doesn't crash from the first attempt, but when stopping project in the Editor and pressing Play a few more times, it crashes.

I also got it crash with as simple code as this, just with quickly pressing Play and Stop around 20-50 times.

1. void Awake()
2. {
3. Application.LoadLevel("SecondScene");
4. }

It also crashes when using instead
SceneManager.LoadScene("SecondScene", LoadSceneMode.Single);

The workaround that seems to work, is to start coroutine, skip one frame, and load the scene from there.

 

Was there ever a solution to this? This looks exactly like an issue we're seeing in the Unity 5.4.0B21 beta. :/

 

Application.LoadLevel is deprecated: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application.LoadLevel.html

 

The correct answer is that multithreaded rendering breaks and crashes unity in beta21 builds using canvas. Thanks!

 

same crash nowadays when changing scene on awake with Unity 2020.3.2f1
