Bug Terrain Visibility Issue in Build Mode vs. Editor Mode - MapMagic2

Hello everyone,

I'm currently developing a game using Unity and I've run into a puzzling issue that I hope someone can help me with. In the Unity Editor, the terrain in my game displays correctly and everything looks as expected. However, when I build the game and run the executable, the terrain is completely invisible, although other elements are visible just fine.

Here are some specifics about my setup:

• Unity Version: 2023.2.4f1
• Rendering Pipeline: URP
• Platform: Windows

Screenshots in Editor and Build mode are attached for reference.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Any help or suggestions on what to check or try next would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

 

I've seen that before but can't remember what it was. I think it was a terrain material shader that was made for BiRP and didn't work in URP despite conversion. Try using a standard URP terrain shader / material perhaps.

You're missing out on 15 patch (bugfix) releases. Slight chance you may have a better experience with 2023.2.20f1 in case this is/was an actual engine bug (unlikely but still good practice to be on the latest patch).

 

I upgraded to 2023.2.20f1 and verified the terrain material uses URP Terrain Lit but the issue still persists

 

Tracked this to an asset named MapMagic2, it seems if the scene is generated from scratch, meaning at least not a single main or draft tile pregenerated and saved with the scene before the build, the terrain would still generate but it would be invisible.

I wasn't thinking this asset was the issue because I also tested it with a standalone terrain, but it somehow got affected by this asset.
