    Hi @p3tr0m ,

    The VFX Graph needs either URP or HDRP to work. If you don't have any render pipeline asset assigned in the Graphics Settings, the errors are expected.

    Try assigning a URP or HDRP asset and recompile the visual effects, this should make it work.

    Hey @VladVNeykov,

    thanks for your help, this was indeed the case it was not working. After upgrading to the URP the issues were solved.

    I'm having a similar problem, the VFX Graph doesn't show anything but the outline of a box in the inspector and shows nothing in the project. upload_2021-2-19_15-54-9.png upload_2021-2-19_15-54-23.png

    I also get errors saying "Graphics.DrawProceduralIndirect with invalid buffer" leading to the Universal Render Pipeline.cs file and the VFX Asset Editor File

    it seems because I use inherit block before set source propery in Spawn context.

    Just remember VFX won't work if you are in WEB GL platform. Doesn't support Compute Shaders.

    Hello everyone!

    I got the same problem. There is nothing showing. No particles, no console errors or outputs - nothing.
    I did the following steps to install.
    1. In package manager install URP, then VFX
    2. Create an URP Renderer
    3. Change Graphics settings to the URP Renderer
    4. Changed Color Space in Player Settings > Other Settings to linear
    5. Create VFX Graph
    6. Pull it into the scene
    I even did the same with a new project and it is working there. Also pulled the renderer (URP-High-Fidelity-Renderer) out of the project, when you create a new project using 3D (URP) Template. Using the template it is working.

    But I need to add this to an existing project.

    I am using Unity version 2021.3.8.f1

    I would be really grateful if someone can help or point me in a direction, because I have nearly read every forum entry about VFX now and can not fixed this problem...

    Commenting in case this helps someone else, I could not get any VFX to appear at all, tried everything I found online, no particles would spawn from any VFX graph.

    I went into ProjectSettings->VFX, changes the fixed timestep slightly then changed it back and suddenly all VFX were working again.

    Hope this helps someone with the same problem!
