Bug Addressables, URP Shaders and WebGL

I have encountered a problem with Addressables and URP shaders in WebGL.

When I load an asset, it loads successfully (geometry, materials, shaders and all), BUT it is invisible.
In the Unity Editor, I can re-select the shader again from the dropdown in the material inspector, and suddenly the object is visible again.

This happens on no other platform.

Unity 2022.2.21f1
Addressables 1.21.12
URP 14.0.7

Does anyone have an idea what's causing this?

 

Same problem here. Have you found a fix?

 

if someone is facing this same issue, I had to make an awful workaround:
Just start this coroutine right after you load your addressable scene.

Code (CSharp):

1.     public IEnumerator RefreshMaterials()
2.     {
3.         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
4.         Debug.Log("Refreshing materials");
5.         var renderers = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<MeshRenderer>();
6.        
7.         foreach (var meshRenderer in renderers)
8.         {
9.             foreach (var material in meshRenderer.materials)
10.             {
11.                 material.shader = Shader.Find(material.shader.name);
12.             }
13.         }
14.     }

 

2022.3.5 WebGL + forward render + addressables

There is also this issue.
