Stylized Water Shader - Desktop/Mobile/VR [Built-in RP]

I'm getting an error. Material doesn't have a texture property "_MainTex". All I did was apply the shader to a plane. It looks fine in the scene view, but keeps blinking in and out of existence. I get the error at runtime.

 

There has to be a script attached to the plane object that calls something like Material.mainTexture or Material.SetTexture("_MainTex", Texture2D).

The water shader doesn't contain a parameter called "_MainTex", hence the error is thrown.

 

I got black water on lower end iOS devices (6+ for example), can you help me out?

Here is screenshot

 

A black material is usually the graphics hardware's way of saying some part of the shading calculations failed. Unfortunately, without being specific to what.

It could be a wide range of things I'm afraid, and would require debugging on the device. The shader was last tested on an iPhone 6s, where it rendered correctly. You'd have to make sure OpenGLES 2.0 is not being used, since its too old for the shader to render with.

 

Since I knew the shader using ASE to create, can I change some properties to correct the problem?

 

if i tick the check box that turns on "tile reduction" on the "normals" module, and then save the file, it reverts back to NOT having tile reduction. why isn't it saving my settings? im on the latest update. i was on 2.1.6 and it wasnt working there either.

 

Any ideas?
