Official Unity 2021.2 Is Now Available

For macOS users affected by the frame bug -> https://unity3d.com/beta/2021.2b

 

Volume editor is not working.

Version: 2021.2.0.f1
Operating System: Windows 11 x64
Project: HDRP Demo Scene

 

TEMPORARY FIX FOR Unity 2021.2.0f1 editor delay on Apple silicon Macs:

Go to Player Settings -> Windows/Mac/Linux tab and deselect auto graphics API. Then make sure you add OpenGLCore and remove Metal from the list. Means you won't be using Metal in editor (so no ability to see VFX graph stuff etc) but at least the delay is gone (FYI - the VFX will still be present in your builds for other platforms - eg iOS).

Still haven't worked out a fix for the inability for using mp4s in the project. This version was really not ready for tech release

 

I reverted back to 2021.2.0b16 until these things are fixed. But now Unity Hub doesn't install the Android NDK (at least on macOS).

@LeonhardP any chance someone can take a look at that?

 

Got latest version. When trying to close application (by [X]) - unity crashes (2021.2.0f). When trying to start Unity (by UHUB) - crashes on start. Found some issues on bugreports, where "was fixed on 2021.2.10b". Got same issues on 2021.2.16b... https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ndows-machines-when-tbb12-dot-dll-gets-loaded

 

All your wonderful unity updates are absolutely amazing but a few things that I am not happy about, I think we as humans need to set the record straight with unity and it would be great if unity team could isten to our requests once or twice in a lifetime, Here it goes : As a beginner I find that unity is not configured for an easy experience for beginners to work with. It's been more than two years than I am trying unity out and I was never able to get anything out of it. I keep on struggling and struggling. I update my unity versions everything thinking that it would get better but it didnt in many aspects. With every updates I have to manually spend weeks reconfiguring the editor to be able to use it.
You got to make our lives easier and for everyone of us. We do not have much time to waste to manually fix unity errors.

I have been struggling for years with unity, but unity always remain stuck with project reimporting loops, hold on messages...etc ...Is someone ever going to come up with a solution to resolve that S*** ?
Unity is not making it easier for anyone of us, I am wasting all my time searching for fixes on the internet when I could already be working on my project.
Come on you got to fix these project loops, freezes,hold on messages...etc Everytime I click in the interface I get a hold on message .. This is not even funny. Is this how it works at unity

 

Also I wanted to make a complaint about unity 2021 2.0 ugly interface....Oh how I prefered the old interface...Now everything I got to do is searching and searching for all the tools

 

I like the new look-n-feel of the scene view, but previous layout for local/global and pivot/center transformation modes as a buttons were much better. Now I have to pump up my left indexer muscle way too often to click through new context menu:



This is not cool, please change it back - you got plenty of space to make it all separate buttons.

* edit: minor corrections

 

Hello All.

I am also encountering this error. I submitted a ticket and tried many mind-blowing methods. This includes Clean Format. This bug has not been fixed since 2021.2.b14. It is meaningless for this problem to occur in some systems while working on different systems. This is no longer my problem and please find a solution to this before it goes into a flow to the detriment of our company. Also 2021.2.0f1 did not surprise me again and still the same error.

For ticket:
Issue ID: 1372327

 

It doesn't match. Should be pretty obvious that Rider + Editor isn't the same as Wifi and exported.

I'll enter a bug report when you prove to me it will be worth my time to enter it. You have a partnership with Rider, yes? I know you two have advertised for each other. Clearly this should be on someone's day-job to confirm a major version is compatible. I've told you it happens, now confirm it.

I've downgraded to 2021.1 to continue working on my game, which is a much better use of my time.

 

Your best bet is the Z and X shortcut.

 

This happened with me recently too and I asked about it on the Discord server and someone got really snappy with me when I couldn't figure out why this was happening instead of just trying to help me understand my misunderstanding.

Thanks,

[WebGL] [Addressables] single line

I created thread here https://forum.unity.com/threads/add...021-2-0f1-loadassetasync-doesnt-work.1191337/ you can fetch project and try yoursefl

 

Anyone else has problems with occlusion culling in the new version? It worked in 2021.1 but I don't get it to work in the new version:

 

Previously used 2020.3.20, but now it’s changed to 2021.2, this problem occurs, and it’s not a suggestion, it’s an error.
error:Exception: OBSOLETE - Providing Android resources in Assets/Plugins/Android/res was removed, please move your resources to an AAR or an Android Library. See "AAR plug-ins and Android Libraries" section of the Manual for more details.

 

Crash on startup in Windows 7, looks like the same error of the beta versions.

After a test port of our project, there's an issue with terrain rendering and orthographic cameras. The basemap shader is incorrectly getting selected for some terrain patches when they are nowhere near basemapDistance from the camera. Checking in frame debugger confirms this.

Minimal repro project (and video) posted in bug report 1377510. We'd be really grateful for a resolution because we can't move to 2021 until our minimap is working.

Thanks for all your hard work getting this release out so early.

 

Hello

I got an issue on including core.hlsl after upgrading to URP on 2021.2.0f1.
I created my new shader and tried to include core library but it's still can't open it.

I see Unity doesn't searched it at the right place as you can see here :


Trying to change the path to the right place cause more and more issues like that one.

Bug report N°1378157

 

Some great new stuff, and the complaints will always be louder than the congrats, but...

+1 for this being completely unusable on Mac.

Also much smaller +1 for the center/pivot and global/local buttons being a regression - used to take 1 click and now takes 2.

 

Can't upgrade materials to URP, the Edit > Render Pipeline > Universal Render Pipeline. menu is missing

what to do?

 

You're probably looking for this.

 

yes awesome. works great!

 

Installed 2020.2.1 and again same problems. It is hard to rename objects even in the new clean project. In the console logs not appear immediately. Please test it on macOS Monterrey on Macbook with M1 chip.

 

I second @Andevity. Laggy inputs and for me, it also completely crashes when navigating the project view on macOS Monterrey on Macbook Air with M1 chip 2020.2.1f1 didn't help!

 

I must say, the latest release of Unity is quite unstable, i have simple project, without any custom made assets and still manage to crash.
Its strange that Unity as engine introduce such instability , i expect and hope that newer fixes would be provide and we would have again a stable engine.

 

Well this is not a LTS release. If you use 2020.3 LTS it's relatively stable apart from some minor issues with MacOS related to the graphics API (Metal) lately.

From the next 2020.3 LTS it will be stable.

 

This line can cause problem
GetComponent<UnitMovementController> ().addPlayerUnit (playerUnitObj);

Case: a GameObject through script get component attached , then component have a reference to a non monobehavior object , then component receives a non mono behavior object at a run time and then uncaught exceptions happens and Unity engine crash happens .

 

It's neither alpha or beta but it behaves like this. Unity has a serious QA problem but let's not talk about this, because it's outside comfort zone.

 

Hello,
Was using 2020.3.12f1 LTS version on my project and everything is ok, when i hit any script in my project Visual Studio 2019 16.11.5 start and open all scripts in my project.
Yesterday i see Unity released version 2021.2 so i install it in Unity hub to, copy my project and everything works except Visual Studio, when i hit any script in my project VS open only that script and, can work in the Unity but there is bar in the background:



Things i done already:
1. Unninstalled Unity entirely along with Hub and Visual Studio 2019
2. Install clean Hub, both version of unity i mention above and Visual Studio 2019.
Problem remain.

3. Delete library in project i run using newest Unity version to rebuild that library.
Problem remain.....


Any suggestion can help, thx in advance.

 

I have been using this package: https://assetstore.unity.com/packag...sets-first-person-character-controller-196525
for first person movement with 2021.1, but now after going to 2021.2 suddenly the rotation with the mouse was kind of laggy. After a while I found a fix by changing update mode in input settings to "Process Events In Dynamic Update". But I am not sure what exactly has happened here. Has someone else seen this issue?
I think it only happens with this package. Even if you just install it in a new project. But I haven't done too much research. I only tried some of the Cinemachine samples and they were fine with fixed update mode. But they are all third person controllers.
Also, it just seems to impact rotation, not translation.

[Edit] Looks like I am not the only one: https://forum.unity.com/threads/say-hello-to-the-new-starter-asset-packages.1123051/page-4

 

the cloud layer overrride is redering in front of everything.
is this a bug or something i did wrong?

 

Several tool handling and gizmos are not swowing on editor in 2021.2.1f1, like Camera and Directional Lights, or Light Probes yellow gizmos. This was not an issue in 2021.2.0f1.

Edit: Related Bug Report

Known bug

 

If only unity had their pet project all this release problems would not happen.

 

Is the input lag in the editor a known issue? I'll be typing values into the inspector and it will lag 1-3 characters behind and even throw tantrums such as not wanting to register enter/return until the editor catches up to fill in the variables. M1 Mac 8 gigs. just running the editor and vs code

 

Yes it is. Should be solved in 2021.2.2f1

 

I'm having this issue since upgrading my project. The pink areas are all on the Unity Editor UI, i have no idea what caused it.

 

Hello,

I have other thoughts to express right now. How did Unity release such a buggy version for their main platform (Mac), or did I not get the memo that Mac is not the main platform anymore; it's mind-boggling? Sort of unrelated to this version but I reverted back to 2021.1 (the latest versions) after this (and other compatibility issues) and my WebGL project is taking TWICE AS LONG to build with absolutely no significant change to the project, how is this possible?

Thanks,
crafTDev

 

I'm also having this annoying issue as well with 2021.2.1f1

 

Hi Unity, @LeonhardP,
First off, thanks for your hard work. This new version is great!
I'm not sure if this is the right place. But I wanted to report that an issue marked as fixed is not or no longer fixed in 2021.2.0f1 and 2021.2.1f1

Using UnityWebRequest with forced gzip compression does not work in Editor (and presumably Windows builds), but does work on other platforms (WebGL). This makes testing requests in editor quite difficult.

Issue: 1343274
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/unitywebrequest-fails-on-windows-if-gzip-compression-is-used

Hope you guys are able to fix this, thanks!

 

ok in new 2022.2.1 all of the move tools got into problem and not showing properly.
I found out if we disable Gizmo Toggle in editor they will work fine.

Where is the update for these issues, I thought it would be released already?

Thanks,
crafTDev

 

Hi @LeonhardP , I have found another bug that is listed as fixed in 2021.2, but does not seem to be fixed in the current version 2021.2.1f1.

Issue: 1369085

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ored-in-release-build-after-emscripten-update
The jspre files are not added to builds.

Could you ask the team to look into this as well?

Kind regards,
Stefan
