Mac OS Big Sur Beta 10 (DTK) Unity 2020.2.0b6 - freezing screen

Had this a little on b6/7/8 & 9 but beta 10 will not let me switch scenes without locking up the screen.

At first I thought this was an Apple issue but looking at the Console logs it does seem to be some shenanigans going on.

Any one else getting similar issues ?

Submitted as 1285304, brand new empty project same result.

 

factory restored the DTK in DFU mode to MacOS 11 Beta 10 and a fresh install of Unity 2020.2.0b7 on an empty project is the same.

Another user on the DTK Forums has this same issue also.

3 errors all with the same message this time round:
[Package Manager Window] Error searching for packages.
UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions () (at /Users/bokken/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/EditorApplication.cs:327)

 

Thanks, any idea what caused it ?

 

Sad to say Big Sur 11.0.1 and 2020.2.0b8 has the Unity freezing too, had to switch to a Windows machine to continue my project with then moving the project back every so often to the Mac to build and run for Silicon.

 

Yes, same. Tried it on 2021 alpha as well and the same result. Hope there will be a solution to this freezing issue soon

 

We have a similar problem with our game (Crying Suns) on the DTK (since Big Sur Beta 10).
If we stop moving or clicking the mouse after the game is started, it will eventually freeze. But if we never stop moving the mouse or clicking, everything works fine.
I don't know if it can help you narrow down the issue.
I still have to test with the latest beta (11.0.1)

 

Hello! I just downloaded 2020.2.0b10 and found out that as suggested by @christopheAS, continuously moving the mouse does indeed prevent the screen freeze. Stopping the mouse movement leads to eventual screen freeze. I have also tried entering playmode both with and without VSync and there were no differences. Screen freeze continues to occur with or without Vsync. Hope this helps.

 

Ahh alright understood.

 

No, we don't. But we set Application.targetFrameRate to an explicit value. But I think we have encountered some problems even before setting the value, during the built-in splash screens.
We use 2018.4.28f1 at the time.

 

I am also using vSync but have tried off/on to no effect.

I've switched to Windows to build and will shift back to build on Apple Silicon in next week to test my final build.

Just hope Apple's little event does not ship new Mac's that day!

 

I've tested yesterday with the latest Big Sur Beta (11.0.1) and the problem still occurs. But I've discovered that only the rendering seems to freeze as when I move the mouse, sounds occuring on buttons when hovering them still play as well as the music of the game.

I hope you will find a solution and deploy a patch to the 2018 LTS branch

The problems occur with builds of the game. We did not test the editor directly on the platform. I can provide them if you want to check on your side.

 

Thanks for the link (and the fix). Does it apply to the player also?

 

Thanks for all the hard work on all the DTK and Silicon issue Tautvydas-Zilys, the Apple Silicon has been a journey alright.

 

Thank you thank you!

 

Looking forward to the fix, as our development schedule is literally blocked now.

 

Hey @thestringer! Now that 2021.1.0a7 is out, I was wondering if your DTK might have a better chance of not hanging on it?

 

Thank you very much. Tested a build of Crying Suns with 2018.4.30f1 and the game does not freeze anymore.

 

This issue reappears on Unity 2020.2.0f1 on Mac DTK Big Sur 11.1
Mac keeps freezing when I turn on Unity 2020.2.0f1. It did not happen in the Unity 2020.2.0.b14
Could you fix this, Unity? I need to build asap...

 

The recent update seems to fix the issue on DTK. Thanks!
