    Hi,
    I'm developing on mac and trying to make a windows build, the app works perfectly fine in the editor on mac but when I launch the standalone build on windows I get the error:

    RenderTexture.Create failed: format unsupported.

    The format I have set in the editor is RGB656 and no depth buffer.
    The size is 1920 x 1080

    Has anybody seen this before?

    Cheers

    Stefan

    Hi,

    you should be able to use SystemInfo.SupportsRenderTextureFormat() to find out whether render texture format is supported on a particular machine. If it's not, you should fallback to the default render texture format. In your case, you cannot render to RGB656 textures on DirectX.

    Thanks, for the heads up. I Did solve it at the time by changing the render texture format as you advice, went for ARGB32. Maybe a few notes in the docs would be helpful for others who venture into the same problem.

    How do you change render texture format?

    Hi, is it possible to find a list of supported format by machines?
    Thanks

    I had also faced this issue .I solved it by changing depth buffer to "depth buffer with no stencil" in render texture properties

    How do I do that? I don't find any property that say "depth buffer with no stencil". I'm using Unity 2022.1.20

    In the drop down menu you listed, the "D" stands for depth and the "S" stands for stencil. So for instance, "D32_UFLOAT_S8_UINT" means the format has both depth and stencil: depth is stored in 32-bit unsigned float whereas the stencil is stored in an unsigned 8-bit integer. "D32_UFLOAT", on the other hand, only has the depth component.
