Default VFX Graph is not appearing/rendering

Sorry for the new post with same problem. I just realized that there is a visual effects section. I am using 2019.3.0f6 (was the same result in 2019.3.0f5). I create a default visual graph, and i drag into scene then nothing happens. I started the new projects with the HDRP option.(I remember trying to import to a built-in renderer, wasn't working either). If i download VFX samples, they are working, but i can't make my own VFX Graphs. I tried to assign rendering asset, zoom in/out, decompile tons of time, changing the default textures, tweak the size options, update the graphic card driver (GeForce GT840m). I couln't find a list or somethings that can block the VFX. What can be the problem ?

 

Thank you for the return.

There are no console errors. For the VFX samples, bonfire, flames and smokes are working. (I compiled and result is the same.) I am not sure about sparkles because it looks like it is working at the start, but it becomes kind of buggy and big, then disappears. Lightning is not working, same with the default visual effect graph. They are not appearing in their asset previews in the inspector as well. I tried these in Unity 2019.3.1f1 with HDRP 7.2.1.
I also tried 7.2.0 yesterday as you said, and the result was the same.

I am really curious how people is not having this issue. I tried VFX Graph with an another laptop, thinking that my laptop has a problem, but it was the same on that laptop, too. Can this be a laptop issue or what could you suggest more ? Thanks in advance again.

 

I will try, but if you don't have this problem, won't it work in your pcs since i am just creating a new HDRP project ? Can this be any difference amonst different pcs while creating new projects ?

 

Hi mate I think we have a same problem.In my unity when I disable lifetime component vfx starts to spawning particles however when I enable lifetime component it stops spawning.Could you try to disable lifetime component on your vfx which you created by yourself.

 

Nice catch. It is interesting that it works only if it is disabled. Removing is useless. At least, we know the problem now, but we need them to have a lifetime to keep it creating. I hope Mr. Vlad can help us.

 

A few days ago I sent my repro project to unity report system from editor and they turned me.They said we looked your project project but unfortunately a bug didnt occur on your project.They wanted steps from me so yesterday I made took this video for them

.I hope they will found a solution as soon as possible =).

 

I had got really excited for VFX as i was for shader graph. I also hope it can be fixed very soon.

 

Good morning Mr Vlad
Here is my pc specs
Cpu:Intel® Coffee Lake Core™ i7-9750H
Gpu:6GB GDDR6 nVIDIA® GeForce® GTX1660 Ti 192-Bit DX12

In addition I am using kaspersky anti virus program can this bug occuring because of antivirus?Meanwhile I closed the antivirus but it is still same =/
Have a good day Mr Vlad.

 

Hi,
Intel Core i3 4100m
NVIDIA GEFORCE Gt840m
4 gb ram
Windows 10 Single Language

@Batuhan13 Are you using a laptop ? I still suspect about laptops.

 

Yes I am using laptop but I think it is not about laptop I guess

 

Wow thanks Mr.Vlad it works great =) but could I ask one more question.As you write it is a gpu sorting bug should I do somethink for fix this bug or should I wait for next upgrades Thanks again =).

 

Good morning Mr Vlad I hope you well =) .Today I checked my gpu driver update but my gpu driver had already update to latest version. So I changed my graphic api to vulkan but unfortunately same error occured again after that I changed my graphic api to dx12 but my unity crashed perpetually so I had not a chance to try that with DX12 .In addition I found one more bug .If I decrease spawn rate lower than ~5 when lifetime component enabled ,the particles become invisible and visible between short times like hearthbeat .Here I took a video =)

Have a good day =)

 

I could get it playing with the sort off, too. Also, i have that under 5 particle problem.

 

i have same problem. My gpu is gtx 2070 and my computer also monster.

 

Good morning mate =) It is a gpu sorting problem .I hope unity will fix this problem in a short time =) .You could track the problem from here https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/1222819/ .Have a great day =)

 

I wonder if there is anyone that can make it work normally with the NVIDIA laptop graphic card ? I am still suspicous Mr Vlad. (Also, the other laptop's graphic card was GTX 1050, which i tried)

 

I have a similar issue with v8 in 2020 beta, debug logs:

Code (CSharp):

1. [System 1]Update Particle.compute: Kernel at index (0) is invalid
2. [System 1]CameraSort.compute: Kernel at index (0) is invalid
3. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)

Spamming the console... GTX 1060 with latest drivers.

 

Well I returned to the latest Unity 2019.3 version, and with your answer upgraded it back to 2020 and the error disappeared... I would have loved to help find the correct repros

I can answer some of the questions:
- Yes only in 8.0.1 / 2020.1
- Did not try to sort on / off
- The error appeared upon creating the asset in the editor. Either by selecting the asset (and seeing nothing in the preview window) or by dragging it into the scene. Both produced the errors

 

I'm having a similar issue. I added several VFX graphs in my scene and then I added the UPR. The particles all show until the UniversalPipelineAsset is set in project settings. The particles disappear. I can see an outline shape around the vfx graph objects but no particles.

no errors
Sort off did not have an effect.



GeForce GTX 1060

 

you wont know it was a stupid mistake, I finally fix it after two days……
go to your hierarchy-rendering setting-volume-weight, set the weight less than 1
just too light to see it ……

 

Ok I think i find solution for me i updated HDRP and vfxGraph to 7.3.1 then started testing in empty project. I found genereted computeshaders has some parameters like _POSİTİON_ with capital i. Then I changed my regionformat to English (United States). Problem seems to solved for me.

 

@VladVNeykov Good morning Mr Vlad as @fikriemre said it is looks like a system language I had a friend who had a same issue and after he changed its system language vfx worked. Currently I cant change my system language because my windows licence doesnt give a permission. I am planning to update my windows license to english in next times but when do you think this problem will be solved for every system language? Thanks again =). ps("@fikriemre and my friend was using Turkish system language before changing and I am also using Turkish system language")

 

This solution worked on my system too. Thanks!!

 

Not the first time i have seen it that conversion of the decimal point on code / shader generation has issues based on system languages where the host system decimal point character is not in fact a point but a "," like in german.
(Shadergraph with gradients and the timeline playables asserstore package by unity for setting the color of timeline tracks)

 

This solution also solved my problem thanks. It is a issue about generated files have codes with Turkish capital "i" letter like #define _POSİTİON_ ....

Thanks!

 

Hi @VladVNeykov, sorry I didn't look at all the replies in this thread, so maybe this question hae already been asked. My particles can only be seen during runtime when the VFX graph is opened in the editor. When I close it during runtime, the particles dissapear. Reopening it make them appear again. Is this a known issue?

 

Hi @MlleBun is it working well in play mode or build ?

 

Hello @Batuhan13, I did not test in build yet, but it is working well in play mode at the condition that the vfx graph window is opened.

 

Uh I see but unfortunately we didnt have a same problem maybe @VladVNeykov could help you =). Have a great day

 

hi guys
i have the other problem
when camera focus at center of Vfx , the Vfx not render....

see this:

Hi, I am having an issue with URP and VFX both on version 10.2.2 with unity 2020.2.
My VFX Graph was working fine prior to moving to URP (I was using the Standard one).
The Particle doesnt render, even for the a default VFX created from scratch as shown below.
I have an RTX 3080 GPU with latest drivers installed, running on Windows 10 x64.

Does someone know what may be causing this issue?
Thanks

 

Yes, I am using URP 2D Renderer. No errors in the console. And yes, I changed the renderer pipeline in the project settings.

Thanks!

 

Thanks, I moved to the default URP Forward Renderer and it seemed to work with everything I needed (VFX, 2D Shaders Graphs, etc). Many thanks!

 

I just upgraded from unity 2020.1.5f1 to 2020.2.3f1 which gives me the same errors. I dont use the URP package, or have any render pipeline assets set under the player/graphics settings.

Edit: Its the switch from VFX Graph package 8.2 to 10.2.2
