Crashes inside UnityGfxDeviceWorker

I've got a High Frontier (build made with Unity 5.5.0f3) player on OS X (10.10.5, build 14F2315) who's had a couple of random crashes. He sent in the crash logs, and both of them crashed in Thread 6, UnityGfxDeviceWorker, with this traceback:

Any ideas what might be causing this, and what I can do about it?

 

@JoeStrout Same problem, did you solved it ?

 

Similar problem here. Built with Unity 5.4.5 and stable AFAIK except for one Mac customer reporting a crash in UnityGfxDeviceWorker.

Can anyone shed some light on this...?

I never solved this. Still hoping somebody else has a clue.

 

One clue: the crash might be one that occurs only on an OS X setup with multiple-monitors connected, resulting in startup crash with black screen.

There are numerous issues with OS X standalone builds related to monitors, even in Unity 2017.1.1 (which I am using). I could not even reproduce the particular crash, but it was noticed by Mac OS App review which provided an error log. I assume they had a multi-monitor setup (not confirmed).

I did a number of changes to the next build, some of which seem to have solved the crash:

* Disable "Metal", use only OpenGLCore on Mac
* Disable Universal build, only do x86_64 (main reason was problems with videos)
* Set standalone relolution/fullscreen/aspect ratio settings to:
- Default is Full Screen => true
- Default is Native resolution => true
- Capture Single Screen => false
- Display Resolution Dialog => Hidden by default ("Enabled" might also help solve issues)
- Resizable window => true
- Mac fullscreen mode => Fullscreen Window with menu bar and dock
- Visible in background => true
- Allow full screen switch => true
- Force single instance => false
- Supported aspect ratios => allow all, including others

 

On OSX I had a similar problem. The only way I could get it fixed was to go into player settings and go under Other Settings>Mac App Store Options> and change the bundle identifier from com.Company.ProductName to something else like com.Company.ProductName2 . Not sure what is causing the issue, but that was a workaround.

 

Hello,
I was running my app on iPad and I got the similar error: i.e.
ios unity UnityGfxDeviceWorker (31): EXC_RESOURCE RESOURCE_TYPE_MEMORY (limit=700 MB, unused=0x0)
More Info: I am using GAF files in my app, and my iPad's config are:
Software version:12.2, RAM:1GB, Capacity:16Gb.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

same problem...any solution?

 

You need to change your texture sizes. Drop them down to lower sizes and try again.

 

I am facing crash in iOS device with following stack trace. Any solution?
