After updating to the latest version, the scene window flickers.

The problem appeared in version 2022.2.4 or 2022.2.5. This was not the case in previous versions.

 

Try resetting window layout. This sort of thing sometimes happens when camera somehow gets borked.

 

Tried, didn't help. Could this be due to some third-party asset?

 

Yes. I would try disabling scene objects one by one and see if that fixes the flickering. Also I'd attemt to check if this thing happens with a blank project.

It seems to be some form of z-fighting, but I'm unsure why the heck it happens in scene view.

Spoiler

Also you could try creating a small object and focusing on it with F key.

 

Somewhere I remember to have read to recreate your camera object (like from scratch but copy the settings over).

 

Nothing helps, even in a completely empty scene with no objects.
But in other projects (both new and old) there is no such problem. This is the first time I've encountered something like this.

 

Thanks, deleting ProjectSettings.asset helped.

 

I’m increasingly seeing the suggestion to delete project settings when something breaks in the editor. While the old go to of deleting the Library folder was fine since Unity could easily regenerate it, deleting project settings would require re-applying them all by hand. This is a terrible user experience and whilst there are various strategies to reduce the amount of pain it just seems like it shouldn’t be necessary.

Presumably if a setting is corrupt, Unity should be asking for example projects as bug reports to fix the source of the problem, but it never comes up. It’s getting to be a concern to me at least that deleting project settings is becoming a catch all fix for these problems, with no apparent effort to track down and fix the cause.

 

Do you use some source code management?
A diff between the old settings file and the new one would be very interesting.

 

No, unfortunately I don't use source code management.

 

You should learn it. People lost their projects more than once.

 

I always make backups, but thanks for the advice, I think it's worth learning.

 

I found the reason. The flicker appears when I add OpenGLES3 and put it first in the list for the Windows platform. If you remove it or move it down, the flickering stops.

 

Doing this also helped me. Win10, 2022.2.12

 

This isn't sufficient when developing software. Specially when you are member of the Unity community since 2014.

You should stop anything you doing with software and jump on learning principles and how to use version control like for example github. You will appreciate spending a day or so on it and will be wondering, how you could develop before without VC.
Then move on with your software deving.

 

you saved me! thanks~

 

Thanks it worked
