Hybrid Renderer not batching?

    I have 4 game objects in my scene, using Quad and Default-Material. In editor mode, and in play mode when I don't convert them to entities, I get 1 batch, and 3 saved by batching. If I attach the convert to entities script (convert and destroy) I get 4 batches, 0 saved.

    I originally noticed because I was spawning a bunch of prefab entities that had the same sprite-default material on quads and had a batch per spawned prefab. After doing some googling, I'm not actually sure the sprite material can be batched, but the default material at least should be.

    Additional bug: the Frame Debugger didn't have any message why it wasn't able to batch.

    Have you enabled gpu instancing on your materials.

    Default material doesn't have GPU instancing. So use another material and enable it.

    Checked enable gpu instancing on my Sprite/Default material. The stats look fine (correct number of batches I was expecting) but I don't see them on screen at all.
