RenderTexture.Create failed: width & height must be larger than 0

No chance to find anything related to this issue, so I am posting right now.

After I simply reboot my machine today i permanently receive this strange error spammed into my console.

RenderTexture.Create failed: width & height must be larger than 0

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

There is no real chance for me to track it down and I cant find anything in the docs nor in the forum.
There are several threads about "RenderTexture.Create failed: [...]" but nothing about the suffix of my error.
I even tried some of the suggested stuff of the sub-topics, but nothing works.

I already restarted multiple times, re-installed also, I reimported the whole project several times, I also re-imported the packages I have installed like TMP.
Strangely this error is spammed either in Editormode and Playmode.
I already disabled all objects, I already disabled all Editorscripts (from me) etc. to try to isolate the issue. At none level there was any change to the Error-flooding into the console.

And then i tried hard to find anything about some random object of type "RenderTexture" that might cause the isse.
To be said, I have nothing in place like that yet by myself. I have some plugins, but nothing special, only Tilemaps and TMP from Unity themselves anyways.

But then with

Code (CSharp):

1.         UnityEngine.Object obj = GameObject.FindObjectOfType(typeof(RenderTexture), true);
2.         Selection.activeObject = obj;

I was able to get the evil object selected in Editor mode and Playmode.



I have no clue what to do about it.
The InstanceID seems to be not persistent and every time i switch between Editor & Playmode the InstanceID changes, so I assume the object is generated every now and then.

Also I tried finding any object in hierachy in scene view and in assetview that could be related to this name "Editor Atlas Monitor RT". I also tried searching only for particular terms.
! NOTHING !

I rarely know what to try next, but this time i would make a simple call to a Unity bug.
My Unity version: 2022.1.0b16.3019

I actually regret that I tried first time other than LTS, but yeah, that hindsight it doesnt help me now, I cant really downgrade to 2021 (can I ?)

Any ideas ?

 

try upgrading to the latest 2022.1 version. you are still using a beta version.

 

thanks for the hint, just did it and same issue persists
now I am unity 2022.1.7f1

 

If I doubleclick the Error the inspector shows me such item


Sorry if exxagerating, but what the heck of a thing is this ?

Any idea is appreciated, I am completly lost.
It spits 30.000 Errors in a few seconds until I clear it or going higher and higher.
I have not even a remotely close idea of what to do about it ...

 

Is the error message just these two lines or is there more in the details pane when you select the message in the console? If so, post the full message.

One thing you could try (in a backup of the project) is to reset the window layouts to one of the default layouts. I can imagine the error coming from an editor window whose size somehow became 0,0.

Speaking of which, you can also go into package manager and disable any asset store packages (one by one) that have editor windows to check if the error comes from a package.

By re-importing the project you mean deleting the Library folder while Unity is closed? If not that‘s something you could try as well.

 

It is just the two lines, otherwise I would have reported more.

Now I downgraded to 2021 LTS and pay the cost if something breaks by redoing it.
The error disappeared.
I will keep in mind to reset the layout if I gonna test it on 2022 again. It sounds reasonable as a solution.

Thank you, I come back here if I face the issue again and/or tested some of your possible solutions.

whoa. This worked for me. Thank you!

 

worked for me ! THANK YOU

 

Reseting the layout worked for me in the 2022 full release version so THANKS!

 

I had the same issue and it seems that in my case error came from the Tile Palette which got stuck between layers of Unity Editor. Rearranging the layout helped!

 

its so Helpfull sir, lot of thanks for you!! godbless!

 

I tried turning debug mode on and off again. that worked for me. you can keep it on, but i prefer to turn it off afterwards since it increases performance. it also works on some other errors as well. (if you don't know how to turn it on, it's in the bottom right corner of the screen next to three other buttons)

 

Happened to me today. Solution was to restart editor.

 

In my case, it turned to be the switching of some mixed lights to baked, without removing Aura component.

 

Thanks! Reseting the layout solved it!

 

I got this today. I can replicate it every time by resizing my scene view really small, and switching the "subscene" by double-clicking a prefab in the hierarchy. Then, I can predictably trigger the messages by repeatedly dragging that window to tiny and bigger again.
