Resolved Sprites invisible when loaded via Addressables in Build

I'm working on loading sprites to a player object using Addressables and I'm running into a weird issue. When I start the game in editor everything works perfectly. But when I build and run the player becomes invisible after loading the sprite.

The handles are being managed through a Race handle class since I'm loading other data as well, but I tested the issue with this simplified code in the Start method:

Code (CSharp):

1. new AssetReference("Base Assets[Lycas]").LoadAssetAsync<Sprite>().Completed += sprite =>
2. {
3.        _spriteRenderer.sprite = sprite.Result;
4. };

And still get the same result.

What's interesting is that there are no errors, and it seems to be able to find the sprite. I validated this by logging the name of the Player's current sprite on every frame and it does change to "Lycas" after the call finishes.

Appreciate any help. This is my first time using Addressable, so forgive me if I'm missing something simple.

 

So, the solution was to add my Sprite Sheet to a Sprite Atlas and the problem disappeared.
