Bug Android Builds Crash on Startup on Android 13

Hi there,

Four of our developers upgraded to Android 13 a few weeks ago and since the upgrade, three of them have android builds crash on startup and the last one can play but gets absolutely abysmal frame rates (previously was getting 50+ FPS and now gets 10).

As an experiment, I tried disabling Vulkan (leaving only OpenGLES3) and the 3/4 that previously crashed could now load the app, but the screen stayed black permanently (gameplay and audio seemed to be working, but no visuals rendered) and the last dev's frames dropped to an even more abysmal 4.

After doing a lot of searching through Unity Answers and the Unity Issue Tracker, it seems like URP and Vulkan have often not played nice together, specifically in the XR realm (which our app does not utilize). We have tried builds with Depth Textures and HDR off and the results were the same.

We are currently using Unity 2021.2.17f1, but I have tried building on 2021.3.10f1 (LTS) and the results were identical.

One of the devs grabbed me these logs, but I didn't see much useful within them. I can get more if needed:

Hi there,

I started to submit a bug report, but realized I should have a stripped down project I can send. Since our project is quite massive, this has been no easy feat.

While stripping the project down though, we found what appears to be the cause: one particular shader that crashes when it loads in (maybe once we solve this, there will be a second shader as well, that remains to be seen). Once we figure out what in that shader is causing the problem, I will follow up (and possibly make a small project with that shader in it for a bug report).

The devices affected were Pixel 5 (low framerate) and Pixel 6 (crashes)

 

What's the problem with that shader?

 

Im using unity 2020.3.42 on old devices its working, on others its crashing i have 34,000 crashes in ONE DAY, since I updated it before its just 400 a day. I see that people complaning has android 13 version phone
