A multisampled texture being bound to a non-multisampled sampler. Disabling in order to avoid undefi

Unity 2021.2.4 URP api 10.1.1

Error

Code (CSharp):

1. A multisampled texture being bound to a non-multisampled sampler. Disabling in order to avoid undefined behavior. Please use Texture2DMS in the shader.
2. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

Bug report (Case 1385425)

Reproduce
-- open new scene (unity default)
-- select main camera in Hierarchy
-- error spams 999+++ in Console

after filing report i found that the error happens when RenderPipelinePostProcessData.asset it set in render path "Deferred"

Forward seams ok

 

I get this error on Unity 2021.2.6f URP ver 12.1.2
It only occurs if:
- Rendering path: DEFERRED
- Decals are added as a rendering feature
- Decal Technique is Auto or Dbuffer

Error is not occurring if I set Decal Technique as screen space.

 

follow up now opened in issue tracking

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...rs-appear-when-render-path-is-set-to-deferred

 

also getting this error after upgrading project to 2020.3.22
im not even using Deferred im using forward renderin....
and don't know what textures\decals are the culprit

 

unity sent me an email that they reproduced the error and opened
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...rs-appear-when-render-path-is-set-to-deferred

after a few days they sent this and closed it
"A multisampled texture being bound to a non-multisampled sampler errors" is already telling you what the error is. The deferred renderer does have MSAA disabled, so any user created textures need to be created with only 1 sample when deferred mode is enabled. If trying to use MSAA'd textures in the deferred pipeline will give this error. To fix it, make sure your textures are created with MSAA = 1 (it should ignore the URP asset MSAA setting).


at no time did I ever create a texture
the error can be reproduced in a blank new Unity project with no 3rd party assets added

the reason for closing is false and i have no idea what texture they are talking about
any texture create is create by unity on open new project

i sent a reply to Unity QA who closed the issue tracker asking them to help explain what they are talking about in closure justification statement, and i still have no reply.

 

I was able to stop seeing this error after changing "Lit shader mode" to "BOTH" in my HDRP asset
was trying to avoid this because apparently it is not needed.
