    Hi,

    Unity crashes when updating or installing a version of the PostProcessing package higher than 2.1.2 (2.1.3 and so on). When trying to open again the project, nothing happens because unity closes itself when loading the packages, and I am forced to remove post processing from the json file in order to access the project again. This seems to happen at a certain stage of the update, which I recall being Shaders\FinalPass.
    Instead, it works perfectly on version 2.1.2 or less.

    This is happening in unity version 2018.3.0 and all the successive ones. Target platform android.

    If anyone has a clue to what it could be, lemme know!

    Thank you

    Hi!
    Can you check the editor log? If it crashes, there should be a stack trace.

    Updating Packages/com.unity.postprocessing/PostProcessing/Shaders/Builtins/AutoExposure.compute - GUID: 34845e0ca016b7448842e965db5890a5...
    done. [Time: 6.607395 ms]
    Crash!!!
    A crash has been intercepted by the crash handler. For call stack and other details, see the latest crash report generated in:
    * C:/Users/Master/AppData/Local/Temp/Unity/Editor/Crashes

    But the folder is empty.
    From windows event viewer all I can see is the exception code : 0xc0000005 and event ID : 1000.

    Done, support suggested me to upgrade to LTS release...obviously no improvements. I also removed any trace of unity from the PC and done a fresh install, with same results. I am starting to wonder if it has to do with windows 7.
    I'll continue through support I guess...but something is surely wrong with the packages from 2.1.3 onward, as I have issues only on those.

    I am an idiot...updating NVIDIA drivers fixed the issue.
    I don't know why I didn't think of it as one of the first things to do.
