Bug Unity editor windows content texts are broken on MacOS

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

 

I was worried I am the only one. Follow this thread

 

Same problem

 

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

 

Happens for me in 2020.3.24 but not in 2021.3.11.

 

Happens to me on 2020.3.41f1 but only in the inspector, when selecting multiple gameobjects

 

yeah same for me. Tried to reinstall a new editor version but nothing change

 

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

 

You have to be in the desktop tab as i said in the previous post.

 

Still doesn't work. Editor and hub rebooted

 

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.

 

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!

 

Awesome thanks!

 

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)

 

Can confirm this also happens on 2019.4.40f1 on a 2019 Macbook with macOS 13.0.1

 

Thanks man, works perfectly after following your solution

 

THANK YOU!! Been having this issue since Ventura update day1 just now found this answer! Thanks a lot!

 

We require version 2019
But I can't find the OpenGL Core option
Only as shown in the picture, how to deal with it

 

This worked for me. Thank you!

 

Thank You So Much. Problem Solved!

 

Works for me. Many thanks. Got the same problem on the same hardware.

 

THANK YOU!!

 

Guys , is it normal when i change APi for OpenGL Editor keeps poping up messages like this !!
i mean it pops up every s3 seconds to tell me hold on !!

im trying to use OpenGL so i can show graphics on editors buttons instead of plain white boxes

Any solution for these popings ?

 

Hello, could anyone help?

This still happening on Unity 2022.3.7f1. I'm on Macbook pro 2015, Monterey and the option for openGL mentioned above turned to deprecated

 

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!

 

Hello, could anyone help?

This still happening on Unity 2022.3.18f1. I'm on Macbook pro 2014, Big Sur and the option for openGL mentioned above turned to deprecated.

Doesn't appear OpenGL 3.

 

Just a heads up, I have the same issue win Unity 2022.3.20f1 on Mac OS 12.7 Monterey (Intel). I applied the workaround of OpenGLCore but video cinematics are having awful performance issues, videos stutter like they're gonna explode. Was a bug created on the issue tracker? Otherwise I would be happy to help with screenshots/reporting. THANKS!!

 

I just reported the bug, thanks so much!

 

i had this same issue 2 months ago on windows 10.. it turns out textmeshpro was the culprit..
i don't remember if i updated it or unity did some sort of migration to new unity version changes.. what i remember is deleting some of it's left overs in the project and it is fixed.

 

The pink text started when updating Unity to the version that uses Metal graphics API by default on Intel Macs. I can confirm the version 2022.3.24f1 FIXES the issue (now I switched back from openGL to Metal and everything works perfect!) no pink text, no strange symbols and now video cinematics play smoothly again. Thanks for the support!
