Official Unity 2021.2 Is Now Available

Bold of you to assume it will be fixed because it's easy to reproduce

 

Thanks! Maybe the fix depends on other changes but I applied the patches in that PR on 2021.2.3f1/12.1.1 and it didn't solve the soft shadow issue for me.

 

I want to take a moment here to congratulate those at Unity who take their job seriously and never let a boat load of bugs slip through their fingers into the releases, which is proof of their respect for the users. My special thanks and salutations goes to them. It is my understanding of the modern world that they will become more and more scarce as time fly by.

For the others, on the opposite far side of the spectrum, well, it's between them, their professional conscience, god and the cofee machine I guess...

 

Instancing: 'unity_RenderingLayer' shares the same constant buffer offset with 'unity_LODFade - Unity Forum

 

I get 2 errors that cause the build to fail for Android (URP). I saw someone mention it for Webgl, also seems to happen on Android. I assume these are known?

Shader error in 'Hidden/Universal/CoreBlit': invalid subscript 'positionCS' at /Andromeda/AndromedaClient/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@12.1.1/Runtime/Utilities/Blit.hlsl(92) (on gles)

Shader error in 'Hidden/kMotion/CameraMotionVectors': SV_VertexID semantic is not supported on GLES 2.0 at line 11 (on gles)

Weirdly it doesn't fail to build if you try again, so it's not a super huge deal. The bug fixers will have to restart unity (And maybe clear existing build files) before building to confirm it's actually fixed when working on it though.

Just another separate thing I noticed, it doesn't seem to be building with the desktop icon or splash image even though they are definitely set in the project settings and were working on 2021.1 (Android).

 

Currently building (tried both faster runtime and faster builds options) went from 7 minutes (not-first-time-builds) to 30-60 minutes now. Not much changed except for upgrading from 2020.3 to 2021.2.3f1

edit:
Also just tested this in 2021.2.4f1, same problem.
The shader compile isn't too bad AFTER the first time, but then It seems to be taking a long time when it is stripping each shader, such as Stripping Vertex Programs, Stripping Fragment programs etc.

 

Even a brand new project (2021.2.x) seems to have a serious rendering performance regression. Here's an empty project that has consistent spikes in rendering. We're unable to upgrade until it's fixed.

Example Project

 

Is there a fix for this? I can't find the issue tracker link.

 

I get a severe issue with brand new version (2021.2.5), using HDRP. In Editing mode, after some time the scene view goes all grey, and lots of errors are being thrown (see below). The time it takes until this happens seems to depend on the scene complexity and HDRP features being used, the more, the faster (fastest was after 1 minute with the most ressource intensive settings I have), so seems some sort of memory leak maybe. Here is the stack trace:

This issue here seems related (marked as duplicate, but couldn't find the duplicate as it is not linked):
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...-longer-rendered-after-leaving-editor-running
Difference here is that it is not happening after play mode, just after some time leaving the editor open. In face, after play mode the scene comes back and the errors stop appearing for some time.

 

This is fixed already.

 

I just tried the 2021.2.5 and I still have the issue, in which version did it get fixed?

 

Upgraded from 2021.1.4 to 2021.2.5 (and also happens on 2021.2.4) and spent way too much time tracking down a weird obscure problem that was causing a ton of issues for our game. Where Windows IL2CPP builds had problems with the Newtonsoft JSON.NET deserializer no longer able to convert a decimal to a float and throws argument exceptions and/or reads garbage data. I submitted bug# 1385813 but I'd love to know if this is systemic of something wrong with IL2CPP in 2021.2 that we need to be aware of, but it only fails when IL2CPP is used (Editor/Mono works fine).

So I'm posting here for visibility/searchability and follow-up if needed or other people run into this very weird/obscure issue.

 

I'm only able to add the androidbridge.jar by renaming the ironSource.plugin to ironSource.androidlib. I'm guessing this is caused by the removal of adding assets through Plugins/Android/ in 2021.2, however many plugins edit AndroidManifest and add files without the android libraries or AARs.

 

Tested again with 2021.2.5f1/12.1.2 and soft shadows are still broken. Is that fix included in this build?

 

Any new project I create on my mac (Big Sur 11.6 - iMac Pro) has significant rendering performance issues.

I filed a bug, shared the repro project above with Unity, it was replicated on Unity's end, no bug has been created and I get a response once every few days with suggestions that ultimately don't help. I'd love to have someone take a look at the issue seriously. I'd really like to be able to upgrade to 2021.2 before we launch our game.

 

I am seeing a regression in 2021.2.2, that does not exist in 2021.2.1


Bug/Case #: 1386436

Shadows become "blocky" in HDRP when using a very large delta between near clip and far clip planes (space simulations). This issue was introduced in 2021.2.2, in version 2021.2.0 and 2021.2.1 this issue did not exist. This may be related to the "HDRP: Fixed performance on PrepareLightsForGPU by burstifying light loop" change in 2021.2.2, perhaps related to a loss of double precision when converting to jobs.

To reproduce:
Create a simple HDRP scene with a near clip of 0.1and a fearclip of 1e+07 or greater. Add a single sphere to the scene and then add a light source (in my test I used a high intensity point light). Shadows casted on the sphere will pixelate/boxify.

I have attached two images illustrating the issue, the "normal" looking one is from 2021.2.1 and the problematic one is from 2021.2.2

 

Lots of new and remarkable assets on sale have listed 2021.2 as the supported unity version.
Would it be advisable to delay purchase until this Unity version is more stable?
It appears that these assets will only work with 2021.2xxx
Thanks.

 

Depends on the asset, if in doubt best to check the support of the asset and see if older ones are supported

 

Randomly getting these errors while editing. Restarting the editor is the only way to fix. Seems to happen in builds to causing the 3d renderer to fail and only render UI but flip everything upside down...

This is on Unity 2021.2.5f1

 

See above, and there is also another thread on the HDRP sub forum. Seems fixed in master. Hope they'll manage to release this week, as this is really a severe bug.

 

Thanks! I missed it! I thought I was reading like a hawk!

 

Just to update, the rendering regression now has a bug to track in case anyone else is having the issue:

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ngfxthread-5-10ms-spikes-when-using-metal-api

 

Tried to upgrade 2 separate projects from 2021.2.5f1 (Which worked) to 2021.2.6f1 and both of them crashed either during the upgrade or after the upgrade completed and now both projects crash when launched...

 

That happens a lot in general in any version upgrade. I regularly delete the library because of that and then I have less problems.

I did not have issues moving to 2021.1.6f1, but I did delete the library.

 

Oh wait it's the crash from Nord VPN running...

 

I had similar problems with Unity and VPN. If you must use VPN you have to manually set the protocol. Can't remember which one works for me but try experimenting until you get the one that works...

 

Actually still seeing this issue, but on a fresh install of 2021.2.6, with only 2 light sources and one character with almost completely default HDRP pipeline settings

 

Error is HDRP dependent, and there seem to have been no new HDRP release yet. Also no word so far when this might happen.

 

If there's anyone else tracking the soft shadows issue, they are still broken in 2021.2.6f1.

 

For me big issue is a disable and enable of GameObject from script, currently i use DestroyImmediate and load menus from prefabs, kind of works....
I look into new Input Api , i am not sure that is really nice to read , bitshift and callback stuff not such big fun of it, good that old Input API works.
I almost forgotten to say that resolving packages kind of long on my machine up to 25 minutes.

 

Thank for that. I'll cease mouth dribbling over these "2021.XX only" assets in the store until maybe 2023 comes out!
(Can't be bothered spending time "fixing things" like you folk seem to.)
By then 2021 might be stable as 2017 0r even 2019/20 lts?"
Amazes me that Devs would offer assets that are ONLY compatible with a Unity version that appears to be so unstable?

 

I start unity 2021.2.* android build in jenkins command line with arguments:

%UNITY_DIR% -quit -batchmode -nographics -projectPath %PROJECT_PATH% -executeMethod %EXECUTION_METHOD% -buildTarget android -logFile -

After build finishing unity keep endless hanging with logs:

AcceleratorClientConnectionCallback - disconnected - :0.

Cleanup mono

While hanging I noticed "OpenJDK platform binary" process in Windows task manager. After killing process from task manager Unity finally quits with logs

debugger-agent: Unable to listen on 3900

[usbmuxd] Stop listen thread

[usbmuxd] Listen thread exiting

Exiting batchmode successfully now!

Exiting without the bug reporter. Application will terminate with return code 0

Maybe someone know how to fix that hanging on "cleanup mono"?

WIth Unity 2021.1.* everything works ok, the problem is only with 2021.2 (reproduced in 2021.2.5, 2021.2.6, 2021.2.7)

 

I rather prefer the 2020 interface, because the tool box (to move, rotate, etc) is outside the scene panel. It's the best way to use the upper side of the screen, and there is more available space in the scene view. Now, in this 2021 version, there is a lot of free space above that can't be used and many very similar icons in the scene view, which makes it visually confuse and not comfortable for the regular use. This details are important to me, so by now I'll keep as much time as possible the 2020 LTS version.

 

When 2021.2.8 will be released? And are macOS editor's drop fps problems going to be solved in the next version?

I like to hear it because our team is actively using 2021.2.7 with macbook m1, and we're so glad with this native version

 

Something strange on my side Unity the latest version of 2021.2 after some Prefabswork (nothing special prefab and customization of gameobjects) do after close following screen

Is this normal behavior of Unity or this a bug?

 

bug is possible, can be a 3rd party plugin not doing its work if you have one there
either attach debugger or see what's last log entry in the Editor log to see where it's stuck
a bugreport would make sense if it's reproducible (and not caused entirely by something else than Editor)

 

When are you giving this version LTS?

 

So how stable it is ?
I refrained for more than a month to download it, should I wait more ?

 

Surprisingly I have found 2021.2.3 to be extremely stable — so much so that I haven't had the need to upgrade past that version!
That being said, I am currently working on a 2D project so I can only speak from a 2D perspective.

 

We typically upgrade to the final tech release sometime around its .x.7 patch release. Historically, that's worked well for 2018, 2019 and 2020. Unfortunately, 2021 still seems some way from LTS.

Terrain in minimaps (or any other use of ortho cams with terrain) is broken as here:
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...etail-when-zoomed-in-with-orthographic-camera

The texture import pipeline is much faster, but crashes frequently when doing full imports (this is in a project with 190Gb of source assets, so sending a repro isn't practical and would in any case require client approval.)

And using synchronous addressables (i.e. WaitForCompletion) at all hangs the project. At least the terrain and addressables issues are considerable regressions from 2020 LTS that I'd expect to be caught by internal testing. In fairness, I doubt anyone using Addressables professionally goes anywhere near a non-LTS release because Addressables must be the lowest-confidence subsystem in Unity.

We'll look again when Unity declares LTS. This is the first time in 3 years we've evaluated an end-of-year tech release multiple times and said "stop investing time in that and come back later."

 

2021.2.6, 2021.2.7, 2021.2.8 --- Addressables are completely broken for me (I'm sort of cornered into '21.1.25 for the forseeable future):
Addressables are almost always building with corruptions that lead to crashes on play - in editor and in buildouts.

 

With the Android SDK included with 2021.2.8f1 adb keeps disconnecting and that makes the builds fail. The SDK included with 2021.2.3f1 works just fine on the same computer (Macbook Pro 14 M1 Max macOS 12.1).

In 2021.2.8, post processing Color Grading for standard render pipeline is not working.
I've tested the same project without changing any options in 2021.2.7 and it works correctly.

Case 1396234

 

Installed the Unity version "2021.2.8f1" and "2022.1.0b4" from UnityHub 3.0.0. Not one of them even started! At startup, an error window immediately appears.

I've been trying to run it today all day:
- reinstall all visual redistributable c++ (2005-2022)
- reinstall .NET 4, 5, 6
- remove the video drivers using "Display Driver Uninstaller" (on cleared) and installed the latest downloaded NVIDIA 472.12

Nothing helps!!! It's the first time in my life I've had this! What's wrong with this program?

What should I do to at least launch Unity?

 

As Ferretnt said just above, ""stop investing time in that and come back later."

 

This is still a problem that urgently need so be solved in a new patch:

Unity Version: 2021.2.10f1
There some issue with C# LinkedList interpretation by Unity.
I have simple test:
add 2 GameObjects (GameObject1 and GameObject2) to a LinkedList (adding by addLast C# method)
Then pull the first GameObject from the LinkedList by C# method instanceoflinkedlist.First.Value

Here what i get as output:
first test run: null
second test run: GameObject2 , so instead of GameObject1 i get the next Object in the LinkedList
Sometimes i get the right result , but i am not sure that it should work such way.
This is strange, because in previous version's this test did not fail, i assume this a error in Unity3D

 

I'm not seeing the apple silicon version of 2021.2.10f1 on Unity Hub.
