Bug Change to ProMotion and to 60fps = Play Mode Problems

After changing device frame rate, entering play mode gets stuck.

Unity becomes unresponsive, but can exit play mode.

The editor needs to be restarted.

This shouldn't happen. The Editor should be able to cope with OS changes to frame rates, resolution and rendering schemes.

 

No errors in any of the usual logs: editor, build, etc.?

 

Nothing to do with builds. Though it probably impacts them, too.

Don't know about the logs etc. Not interested in checking. Not my problems.

I just restart Unity Editor each time.

 

Those two are equally effective from a pragmatic point of view, one just takes way less time.

Personally, I prefer going to the balcony and screaming into the dark void, it's as effective as a bug report in getting Unity issues fixed, but a lot more cathartic.

 

You can ask. but if you can't intuit one of the many reasons why someone might do this, in this manner, then I don't think the answers (there are many more than one) are going to help you understand the predicaments (there are more than one) of Unity users under the systems (there are more than one) of its democratised management of users.

If you'd like to contend with any of the possible answers, you're more than welcome to steel man your argument.

I'll give you one counter view. The best and brightest of Unity's current systems heads (you) has read this post. And he's thinking that the best way for something to do be done about it is the reliance on a free, external source of pissed off labour to find ways to find time on his own dime to chime in through the myriad of systems in the vain hope it will get something done for all users, when there's been no evidence of this for QA issues like this.

See the problem?

Find a manager with some power and let them know that they should have a team working on isolating systemic problems, of which the bug reporting system is one.

Another is the expectation that folks must vote for the bugs they'd like fixed, so that it gets enough mojo to get some of the energy of the workers, via the management's filter.

Yet another is the expectation that others suffering this bug will advocate and trump for votes for their favourite bug.

Want another... that they'll need report back their bug ID to this forum.

There's more... an expectation that users will watch the thread where the bug ID is posted in the vain hope that they'll hear about progress reports.

And on and on it goes.

Not much different to gaslighting of vaccine victims, at this point.

Systemic issues of deliberate obfuscation and democracy. Just like democracies.

 

That sounds like a Unity problem though and you are part of Unity. Whether you personally are several steps removed from decisions regarding those systems, is an internal Unity thing and should be of no concern of the users, even though Unity tries its hardest to make us all unpaid QA testers and therefore part of their terrible system (and therefore part of the problem).

So don’t play the “well this is the way things work” card, when you are part of the organization that designed how things work.

Yes, venting on the forums gives no results, but so does bug reporting.

Lastly, the last engine you worked on was so much cooler than Unity.

 

They should and if things continue with their current trajectory, they will.
