    Hi Devs,
    I have a problem with the unity's Gui...
    sometimes when i update a text gameobject string i see a quick frame or two of white instead of all gui elements.

    Example when it is visible clearly:
    When a user scores 20, i take a time of 0.5s and deviding it by 20, and counting from 0 to 20 and waiting 0.5/20(s) between each count, to give the game over menu a feel of building your score. same with earning money in big chunks as in reward for watching an ad, it just shows white for a frame almost everytime the text changes (which happens quick in the score counting up).

    I'll be glad if someone can help me, or maybe someone already knows this issue.


    Unity 5.1.4f1
    Xcode 7.1.1

    Thanks,
    Tal Rumer

    I checked with our iOS team about this. There may have been a similar issue related to Metal rendering. Can you try this with GLES instead (if you've not done so already)?

    In the Player Settings for iOS, disable the "Auto Graphics API" option. Then you can remove the "Metal" option using the minus button.

    That is good to hear! I believe that this has been corrected in newer versions of Unity, you may be able to use Metal instead if/when you move to a newer version of Unity.
