Unity 4.5 Max Serialization Depth Changed?

The maximum depth for serialized data structures seems to have changed in Unity 4.5. Is this working as intended?

This completely breaks our game and would take so much work to fix we probably won't be able to update to this version.

Thanks.

EDIT: Added some more info below, might as well put it up here so you don't have to read the whole thread

Here is the basic tree structure I'm using:

class Node
{
Node[] mChildren = {};
Data[] mData = {};
}

Pre 4.5 I am able to have a tree that was 7 levels deep, at the 7th level nodes can't have children, but I CAN add data to them.

Post 4.5 update I am still able to have a tree that is 7 levels deep, however these nodes CANNOT have any data as Unity blows it all away, making this level of the tree useless.

 

As far as I know they didn't change anything, they're just informing us about potential performance cliffs due to cycling class references. Before it would just silently stop serializing after a specific depth (7?), while also being a potential hog in performance.

 

It definitely has as I can clearly see that it is destroying my data. After I upgrade my project, I am getting all sorts of null refs because arrays that used to be populated have been destroyed. After I save my project I can clearly see all the data that's been wiped out if I diff my text based assets. Seem like this is a bug that was introduced when this warning was added?

 

Unity would previously silently destroy any serialized data at a depth greater than 7. They are now simply informing us of cycling class references. I don't believe this is the issue you're experiencing.

 

I see these warnings but they are for data that is was NOT previous destroying.

Some how with the addition of this warning it is destroying data that it wasn't before.

 

Here is the basic tree structure I'm using:

class Node
{
Node[] mChildren = {};
Data[] mData = {};
}

Pre 4.5 I am able to have a tree that was 7 levels deep, at the 7th level nodes can't have children, but I CAN add data to them.

Post 4.5 update I am still able to have a tree that is 7 levels deep, however these nodes CANNOT have any data as Unity blows it all away, making this level of the tree useless.

 

I would recommend creating a small project with minimal reproduction steps, then file a bug report by going up to Help -> Report a Bug.

Sounds like something might have been broken

 

We are also facing this issue (more than 3.000 events when running the game).
Thanks

 

I just created issue 616365, http://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?616365_74q8f58si3bnidol.

 

Here's screenshots of the issue from the sample project I supplied with my bug report.
