5.4 to 5.5 Upgrade = Pink Screen?

Has anyone got similar issues?

After upgrading project from 5.4 to 5.5 to take advantages of the long list of bug fixes, all seems fine apart from the whole game, there many bits just all pink. Example, background animation on the main menu, yet can see some of the GUI menu is fine.

I get no warning messages about specific errors, but I do feel now it could be related to shaders as this is always causing problems on upgrades especially older ones.

Anyone else have experience please comment below, thanks..

 

Same troubles here with ALL shaders with

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #pragma only_renderers d3d9
3.  

 

I do. I have same project and compiled for Windows Store, Android, & WebGL I get this error message:

Code (CSharp):

1. Shader error in 'Hidden/ScreenSpaceReflection': invalid subscript 'ndotl' at line 297 (on gles3)
2.  
3. Compiling Vertex program
4. Platform defines: UNITY_NO_LINEAR_COLORSPACE UNITY_ENABLE_REFLECTION_BUFFERS UNITY_PBS_USE_BRDF1 UNITY_SPECCUBE_BOX_PROJECTION UNITY_SPECCUBE_BLENDING SHADER_API_DESKTOP

 

You get that shader to compile and show reflections by commenting out the line
light.ndotl = 0;
in that shader.. Fixed it for me, but I'm not sure yet if this doesn't break anything!

 

OK, my scene still runs but I haven't looked yet for visual problems in the scene everywhere. I'll try what you say & re-bake the realtime GI lighting is all I use.

 

Yes my scene works, but not getting any warning messages about specific error.
Does one need click on the shader itself?

 

No, the error message show up when you compile if you are using that shader.

 

Seeing a lot of those same errors related to 'invalid subscript 'ndotl', especially those shaders that were created using ShaderForge. Was ndotl removed from the UnityLight struct in UnityLightingCommong.cginc?

Side question - how do we get our hands on the built-in shaders for this beta?

 

Look for "Additional Resources" on the download page: https://unity3d.com/unity/beta

 

I can only find built in shaders for 5.4.. Anyone had any luck? The release notes states they renamed some vars in other cginc files, and I guess the same is the case with this..

 

Here: http://beta.unity3d.com/download/c9541e71da7e/builtin_shaders-5.5.0b1.zip

 

Commenting out ndotl doesn't appear to be the only change that was needed to fix those shaders.
Looks like there was also a few changes to UnityGIInput and Unity_GlossyEnvironmentData whereby a lot of the variables needed to be reassigned.
Also, roughness is now perceptualRoughness?

 

Any ShaderForge created shaders including all of its own examples. Unfortunately there are also assets from the Asset Store which use ShaderForge and those also have the same issues. (e.g., AQUAS) Who knows how many others...
However, the changes are minor to make on these shaders and I haven't noticed any ill effects from them "yet".

 

Also UNITY_GI macro has been removed.
So I had to replace

Code (CSharp):

1.   UNITY_GI(gi, s, data);

with

Code (CSharp):

1. #if defined(UNITY_PASS_DEFERRED) && UNITY_ENABLE_REFLECTION_BUFFERS
2.     gi = UnityGlobalIllumination(data, s.Occlusion, s.Normal);
3. #else
4.     Unity_GlossyEnvironmentData g = UnityGlossyEnvironmentSetup(s.Smoothness, data.worldViewDir, s.Normal, s.Specular);
5.     gi = UnityGlobalIllumination(data, s.Occlusion, s.Normal, g);
6. #endif

 

Yeah, the removal of ndotl broke nearly all of my shaders, too. Patiently waiting for the fix.

 

Was this ndotl workaround added in beta2? It's not explicitly mentioned in the release notes as far as I can tell, and I'd rather avoid another large download, since there isn't anything else critical for me.

 

I also had the issues, had to remove a bunch of shaders and switch to the Standard ones temporarily.

 

is the workaround in beta 3?

 

Anyone know if this made it into B4? I can't spot anything about it in the release notes but I might just be being blind.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

Did this make it into b5? I couldn't spot it in the release notes but again, I may have just missed it

 

Very curious about the status of this now that 5b is out.

 

Well, all my shaders created with shader forge are still pink in b5, also time of day sky.

 

Seems beta 5 didnt have any UI changes, small list - we need some fixed mentioned in these threads and the 5.4x changes

 

Can't see anything in the b6 release notes about it. Did the change go in?

 

bump... still nothing on the release notes...

 

must still be in QA in that case

 

It's b9 already, does someone know if that was fixed?

 

Lots of pink still in b9. If I right click on some of them, and do a reimport, it seems to fix some of them though.

The quickest way to do this, is to go to your Project search entry, and just type in:
t:Shader

Select all of them, right click and press Reimport.

 

good tip, i'll def. try it out.

 

Works great!

 

Is this fixed yet?

 

Just upgraded from b1 to b9 and it does seem like those changes referenced earlier in this thread were reverted. I just had to go through all those same shaders and undo my changes back to their original state.

 

The first time I opened it showed some pink objects but after switching scenes everything fixed, also, shader forge shaders seems to be working.
