    Hello everyone,
    Like i've shown you below the unity editor window content texts are broken on Macos Ventura. Small squares appear in place of each letter. Has anyone encountered such a problem before?

    Unity version : 2020.3.31f1

    Is this with the project set to Metal, or not Metal?

    Probably found a solution.

    MacBook Pro 2019, MacOS Venture 13.0 - Unity 2020.3.41f1

    Go in Project Settings > Player and expand the Other Settings tab (Desktop tab). Check off the Auto Graphic API for MacOS and add the OpenGLCore.

    After the editor restart, every thing should be resolved.

    Hello, for some reason I don't have OpenGLCore. I tried to change Color Space - Linear and Gamma

    Thanks so much, definitely solved it for me.
    I was also having some performance issues after a few minutes with the editor open, will report back if that changes.

    Macbook Pro 2019 16" (Intel) here btw.

    Could be the switch from Metal to OpenGL. MacOS unfortunatelly has been optimized to use Metal.

    Just look at your screen. It doesn't work because you still toggle the wrong option.
    you HAVE to toggle AUTO GRAPHIC API FOR MAC (you change for Linux). Just put more attention and probably it start working again.

    if you not solve it, change the API list's order

    = metal
    =OpenGLCore

    to

    =OpenGLCore
    = metal

    so editor automatically restart and the problem will be solved
    (sorry, my English may be idiot)

    Thanks for the report. We are investigating.

    Please note that OpenGL Core will offer degraded performance compared to Metal, so remember to go back to Metal once the fix is available.

    Update: We were able to repro the issue (only on 2020.3) and are working on a fix.

    Yes, 2019.4 is also affected but since it's not supported anymore we won't be able to provide a fix. If you want to remain on 2019.4 you will need to rollback from Ventura to the previous version. If you can live with some degraded performance you can also use OpenGL Core instead of Metal as a workaround.

    OpenGL Core isn't available on mobile projects. You could try to start the editor with
    -force-glcore

    Click on plus button and add OpenGL 3, then slide up as first element instead of Metal

    Thanks! I completely missed that it needs to be in the "DESKTOP" tab, in case anyone is stuck with like me... the fix works!
