HDRP out of preview with package 7.2.0

Which date next week?

 

Any update on release date?

 

Awesome, lovely work thank you

 

Friday is over, so I guess you will releasing it on Monday.

 

Tuesday release?

 

Or Wednesday Or Thursday Or Friday Or Back to Monday.

 

Not sure if its the same but this was posted in the URP section - Hey! 7.2.0 is in promotion process and it's going to be available very soon.

 

Ok, HDRP 7.2.0 is now in the package manager!

 

Indeed! And it solved my decal issues. Awesome!

 

Yes, the decal fix is in that version, but the upgrading procress crashes for my projects. Why Unity. Why.

 

In my package manager it's not available yet. Am I in the wrong timezone?

 

I think you need Unity 2019.3.0f6.

 

Hmm, that's the very version I am using. Still not there...

 

The package manager takes some seconds to refresh the list of updates. And sometimes it display the "tick" icon despite there is a new version ready to be downloaded. Just expand "All versions" underneath a package and you will see it.

 

It works! Thanks alot

 

Finally updated to help with performance and can now no longer open the project. Instant crash when i try to load my scene.. Nice. Good thing i made a backup

 

Crash after load any scene

 

Any reason why all lights (such as point lights) other than the Directional are turned off in play mode when using XR in both HDRP 7.1.8 and 7.2.0? I thought it was supposed to be XR ready now?

 

There's a thread about this here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/upgrading-from-hdrp-7-1-8-to-7-2-0-crashes-editor.826335/

Basically once you've setup HDRP to use DX12 and try to open previously made scene, it's going to crash the editor. If you wipe the library and open the editor and start editing new scene with DX12 enabled, it will work just fine.

 

Almost a total fail but I ensure I was using DX11 and Edit>Render Pipeline >Upgrade all materials to newer version and it finally worked.
DX12 just doesn't work for. I will probably try it again another time.

 

HDRP 7.2.0 with 2019.3.1 feels solid so far. I waited 2 years for this. Thanks to you and your team for hard work.

 

I'm just surprised the HDRP team took on this task AND added raytracing. It's so much work to get right so soon, these things require constant ground truth testing, hardware testing, performance etc, I would simply give up

+1 Good job you guys

 

If DirectX12 and Raytracing would work in a build. But the time is no there, yet.

 

Soon™

 

Also my case. Why can't i get a new update?? I need to get these procedural sky mem leaks fixed, otherwise i wont be able to work on my game

 

Package Manager doesn't show the update icon if there is verified package installed but newer version isn't verified for that Unity version. You should still see the update button on the bottom right and also if you click on the arrow next to the package name, it should give you list which also has 7.2.0.

 

Using the PBS and Ambient Mode set to Dynamic still seems to be broken, atleast in play-mode (light from the sky is way too dark, so shadowed areas are almost black, it works fine in static mode though).
Any info on that?
I really need that to accomplish dynamic day/night cycles.

Edit:
Ok with 7.2.1 it seems to work, but only if I change some settings once I'm in play mode that effect the PBS (light direction etc. which is done by the day/night system). Without changing those settings, all shadowed areas stay pitch black in play mode, whether the ambient mode is dynamic or static.

Edit2:
There seems to be some randomness if it works or not, sometimes the skylight works as expected, sometimes it's too dark and sometimes it's pitch-black. No Idea whats going on here, and it's been a problem for ages.

Edit3:
Just to demonstrate the behavior, the first image displays the expected sky light in edit mode, the second one is after entering play mode with way too dark or no sky light.

 

I am having an issue using HDRP 7.2.0 in a built player during startup when there are more than 1 display. Single display works fine and 7.2.0 fixed my problems with the render probes (Which is very important) but I cannot use as we need this to run over two screens.

In the player Log it says this for some reason...

WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'HDRP/Lit' - All passes removed
WARNING: Shader Did you use #pragma only_renderers and omit this platform?

In the error Log it says...

UnityPlayer.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module UnityPlayer.dll at 0033:f0eccd35.

I attached it to visual studio and it crashed here...

protected override renderpipeline createpipeline() => new hdrenderpipeline(this, hdrenderpipeline.defaultasset);

Is this a known issue or have I done something wrong/missed a step in upgrading from 7.1.8?

Thanks

 

I did but, it didn't work as expected. Shaders were broken and errors of the shader not support on this GPU was being thrown. So, I purge the library (which didn't work), switch to DX 11 and re-initiate the upgrading of materials to newer version.

 

Upgrade from HDRP 7.1..etc to 7.2 (7.21 too) cause tons of errors and just unusable. I had to create new clean project with HDRP and copy all my files there, it's the the only way to make it work.

 

Have you tried delete the Library folder?

 

Of course, but all I have it's error like dx11 render not support and no render at all in the windows.

 

What does out of preview even mean?

When LWRP went out of preview, we were told this meant the shaders wouldn't change much and we could reliably write shaders for the system, and the project was immediately abandoned and renamed URP and started changing again breaking custom shaders on every change. So can I assume that HDRP being out of preview means it will continue to break custom shaders every patch and its basically no different than being in beta?

Still no real documentation on the internals of your shaders, and how you expect this to be manageable for custom shaders.

 

Everyone in this thread is making me wary of trying out the new package....

Finally feeling like things are approaching stability with my current setup but want some of the newer features

 

Wise. Unity seems to be moving away from the idea of making things "just work" or easy in their engine, instead focusing on requiring a team of developers to upgrade their code every time they make a change. Combine that with things being in rapid development and it just feels like someone dumping a bucket of sludge on you every day.

 

I can try moving to DX12 again and see if I run into problems again.

 

The upgrade on DirectX12 is broken. They said you will need a new Unity version, which will be released this week at a date we don't know yet. So stay tuned for this.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was literally now about to try.

 

Don't try. It is a waste of time.

 

I did write a post about this, but I am going to add it in here again.

I am on 19.3.f1 7.2.1

When I make changes to my code via VS and switch back to editor, it often crashes the Editor and all the changes made (regardless of saving) get lost. I've had this since upgrading to 7.2.0 (I think)

Can someone confirm if they are also experiencing frequent editor crashes?

 

I did not have any crash with Unity 2019.3.1f1 and HDRP 7.2.1 on DirectX11.
And I used it since release.

 

I have frequent crashes working in URP and HDRP, as well as issues with editor syncing. It seems to be more than one issue though - for instance, sometimes when I double click on a file the editor won't open and Unity will hang waiting for it. Sometimes it opens, but doesn't open the project. Sometimes it opens the project but doesn't open the file. Sometimes when recompiling code, the editor just crashes. I'm not sure if it's an SRP thing or newer Unity versions though, and the other issue for isolating it is I'm often working between 4-5 unity versions because I have to upgrade things differently for LWRP in 2018.3, 2019.1, 2019.2, and URP in 2019.3 and HDRP 2019.3 - so I'm working in all those versions in a day and each seem to have their own special flavors of these kind of issues.

 

Sucks as an asset author on this count. URP has so many fixes hitting constantly, plus some are tied to newer releases, that for a game to be using URP and not be on the latest release, and in some cases even the beta, really doesn't make sense. Stability here is sort of upside down from the normal.
