Bug RenderSettings customReflection texture has invalid type, 2D given while only CUBE is supported. Cus

Hi

When i try to build and run my game i get the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. RenderSettings customReflection texture has invalid type, 2D given while only CUBE is supported. Custom reflection texture will not be used

And also:

Code (CSharp):

1. UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+BuildMethodException: 4 errors
2.   at UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+DefaultBuildMethods.BuildPlayer (UnityEditor.BuildPlayerOptions options) [0x002da] in <36f62d8e760b48f7af5d32916f997ce1>:0
3.   at UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow.CallBuildMethods (System.Boolean askForBuildLocation, UnityEditor.BuildOptions defaultBuildOptions) [0x00080] in <36f62d8e760b48f7af5d32916f997ce1>:0
4. UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow:BuildPlayerAndRun ()
5.  

I dont understand this error. where are the texture 2D? where can i change this to CUBE? is because of texture rendering?

 

Hello! I am having this issue myself and I cannot really find anywhere in the settings how to change it - I also searched through all the plugins I have installed and there's no script accessing RenderSettings.customReflection.

I tried setting this by code myself (when the game starts I apply a custom cubemap texture to RenderSettings.customReflection), but I still get the same error. Any idea will be welcome

 

Yep. nothing on google as well. unable to build at all now and no idea where to even look or what the error means exactly.

 

I was able to solve it. For me, an unintentional scene change was causing the issue.

1. Search in your Assets folder for

m_CustomReflection: 

[search in every type of file, not just script.]
2. Default value (no change in reflections setting) would be like so

m_CustomReflection: {fileID: 0}

3. If you have changed the setting however, you will find a specific value like this:

m_CustomReflection: {fileID: 2800000, guid: fc9b85bd29d524961b9016b0f358064d, type: 3} 

4. Copy the guid and search this id in your project, one of those assets will be the culprit.

For me, i didn't need custom reflection on that particular scene, so i just changed it to default value and the error was gone.

Check out the screenshot

Culprit image in my case ^
Hope this helps.

 

i searched my entire solution for m_CustomReflection but cannot find anything.
Only thing i see thats somewhat related is in the rendersettingsconverter

can find plenty of

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Reflection;

but that shouldn't be a problem.

Looking at your screenshot there looks like you're accessing SPLASH.unity? is that a default c# file? because i cant find that either

 

I see you are using visual studio, i am using Rider, in rider you can search in all file types, even scene files, searching only solution will not work. solution doesnt contain special files like .unity files. you have to search insider your project directory which has all .meta files, .unity files etc.

To answer your question, Splash.unity is a unity scene in my project.

Open any scene file from your windows explorer as a text file..search that file, you will see m_CustomReflection tag. it's a default property that every scene file has.
Alternatively, i am assuming you are using windows, you can search from command line a specific string like so:



hope this helps.

 

that fixed it . thanks so much.

I have a feeling its caused by reflection probes somehow.

 

This fixed my error too - thanks a lot @ashraf_unity505 !

 

Hello,
Found this thread with the same message and here is my solution:

• Went to Window > Rendering > Lighting > Environment tab
  
• Under Environment Reflexions, I had Skybox, but changing it to Custom revealed the Cubemap field, which in my case was refering the texture found by searching for m_CustomReflection in the scene file.
• I selected None for this texture and then restored the Skybox value of previous field.
• Error gone

 

Thanks Prossel! It really helped

 

No, guys.
Actually, this problem is caused by the characteristic of the texture that is used in the Skybox material. Just change the type of the HDRI you are using (.exr or .hdr) from 2D to Cube (on the Texture Shape Format in the inspector). Then, update the image in the Skybox/Cubemap material.

 

Thanks Prossel!

 

Just wanted to say thanks - this error happens 100% still in 2022.3.10f1 even after you swap back over to Skybox - Unity is still referencing an invalid Custom Reflection file and it has to be set to none just as referenced in the solution. Thanks again!
