Bug Tons of Assets broke with minor Editor Release (2022.3.10f1)

between .3.9 and .3.10 hdrp was changed that most custom shaders from the asset store / my own shaders break. imo this shouldn't happen in a minor release.

Couldn't open include file 'Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition/Runtime/ShaderLibrary/ShaderGraphHeader.hlsl

the file in question was removed it seems

 

Same

 

When are we getting those unity versions in unity hub? Cant find them in download archive neither...

 

Sine most of us have to support multiple versions of Unity, unlike unity whcih freely breaks stuff and doesn't have to support previous versions, here's how you do a proper fix:

Code (CSharp):

1. #if UNITY_VERSION >= UNITY_2021_3_31
2.        #include "Packages/com.unity.shadergraph/ShaderGraphLibrary/Functions.hlsl" // Need to be here for Gradient struct definition
3. #else
4.         #include "Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition/Runtime/ShaderLibrary/ShaderGraphHeader.hlsl"
5. #endif    

Note that the documentation around UNITY_VERSION is incorrect, and tells you to use 2021331 as the unity version number, but this technique only works up to version x.x.9, so you have to figure out on your own that you can use UNITY_2021_3_31 as a version number.

 

Honorable mentions of Unity's lovely policy of making absolutely unnecessary changes to the most fine working features:

Deprecating:

Code (CSharp):

1. Resolution.refreshRate

In favor of:

Code (CSharp):

1. Resolution.refreshRateRatio.Value

Deprecating:

Code (CSharp):

1. RenderTargetHandle

In favor of:

Code (CSharp):

1. RTHandle

Just WHY?!
80% of the stuffs on your roadmap have been in-progress for 3+ years, it's not like you have nothing to do so you mess with simple stuffs like RefreshRate out of boredom.

 

Don't get me started on RenderTarget changes...

I'm working on a URP project in 2021 LTS that makes heavy use of custom RendererFeatures (including a TAA package that's not been updated to 2022, and an outline renderer from the asset store that's been modified to work with the TAA, so not just trivial features). Moving from 2021->2022 is *not* going to be fun.

(From my initial investigation, they didn't just change the way RT handles work, they changed the internals of blitting shaders, too. And I haven't dared look at 2023 yet after reading about even more severe breaking changes planned to the handling of render targets)

 

Oh yeah, I also have some volumetric effects as render feature in 2021 LTS and I just kissed them goodbyes when I moved to 2022 LTS, I couldn't figure out how the hell RTHandle works so I just gave up and used other techniques.
