Unpredictable Issues When Changing Texture Resolution in RunTime

Hello. I've posted about this previously, but got no responses. In my game, I have 5 quality settings that the player can change between, but I'm having an issue with changing between them in my game's build. When changing quality settings, there are almost always unpredictable texture issues: textures turning black and white, textures turning completely black, UI disappearing, textures darkening... I did some troubleshooting and narrowed down that the issue was occurring when changing the texture resolution from full res to any other resolution and vice versa. Everything also works perfectly fine in the editor. Does anybody know what's causing this?

Here's what the lighting and textures should about look like:



And here's what's been happening:

 

Just a shoot into dark; Could be a matter of the script execution order.

 

What do you mean by that?

 

Quite often when something works in editor, but not with the build, adding the script to the execution order helps. If your script should be run after some other script effects it, that should be defined by setting them in right order.

 

I just tried it out. Didn't fix anything. I'm really at a loss here.

 

I suppose you have different resolution of your textures? If so, and those are not anywhere in your scenes, they won't go to the compile. Compiling takes only what's active. If you want to include textures to your build which are driven by scripts, you MUST create invisible dummies having those materials/ textures.

However, I think you will only make your build bigger having different resolutions, as Unity makes the optimization for you anyway.

 

Treasureman, try send bugreport.

 

Hi, I think you used wrong format and compression on your selected platform. Here is options to choose format and compression textures on platform quality: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TextureImporterOverride.html.

 

I'm currently only editing texture resolution and shadow resolution at the moment.

 

Yeah, I'm just changing it under QualitySettings. Any idea what could be the issue?

 

Yes. I'm using 5 Quality Settings: "Highest," "High," "Medium," "Fast," and "Fastest." Highest and High both use Full Res Textures. The other settings decrease the texture size (1/2 res, 1/4 res, and 1/8 res respectively).

 

I'm sorry, but I'm running into another issue. I'm trying to compress my project in order to send a bug report, but it won't let me. I even tried compressing the folder into my own .zip file, but it won't let me. It says my disk space is full, but I have about a terabyte of free space.
EDIT: Nevermind. I think I've got it figured out
