Bug Localized Texture on Material gets Lost

I have tried several different implementations of changing the main texture on an material using the localization package 1.3.2 in Unity 2020.3.22f1 (I have not upgraded to 1.4.2 because this crashed my build). My approaches all work because the right texture is set for the material, this is not the issue I am facing.

The issue that occurs is when I change locale/language, the material somehow loses track of the assigned texture. This also happens when I only set the texture through code when the gameobject is loaded, the texture/material should not change afterwards. When I code it so the texture actually changes when I change locale, the material still loses the texture during the time I changed locale and the time it takes Unity to load the new texture. This issue only occurs in my android builds (tested on multiple device) but not in the editor.

Spoiler: With Texture

Spoiler: Without Texture

The following is only called on start and should not change the material/texture afterwards.

Spoiler: Change on Start

Code (CSharp):

1.         [SerializeField] private LocalizedAsset<Texture> localizedTexture;
2.         [SerializeField] private MeshRenderer renderer;
3.         [SerializeField] private int matIndex;
4.  
5.         private void Start()
6.         {
7.             renderer.materials[matIndex].mainTexture = localizedTexture.LoadAsset();
8.         }

I just call the following method using the Localize Texture Event component. This changes the texture each time locale is changed.

Spoiler: Change on Locale Change

Code (CSharp):

1.         public void SetTexture(Texture tex)
2.         {
3.             renderer.materials[matIndex].mainTexture = tex;
4.         }

 

Yes, I am preloading the tables.

I am not sure what cause my build not work. I use a "master" UI scene which stays loaded the entire game and is also responsible for loading/unloading scenes. This UI scene contains localized events for text and such. This is the first scene that gets loaded, but with 1.4.2 it won't load and the game remains stuck on the splash screen. I will make a bug report for this also.

 

Should I report the bug via a new thread or via the editor?
