URP 7.2.0

Heya, folks. Any ETA on 7.2.0 or any info regarding its arrival?

Thanks!

 

so it should be this week

 

Thank you, @xDenny8

 

Hello,

As i know there is no way to stack cameras for FPS games with 7.1.8, will it come with 7.2.0?

Regards

 

According to this thread, it will.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/camera-stacking-for-urp.736277/

 

damn.. its sad to hear that but it was expected

 

Is there any more detail on what the XR issue is? So far it has been things like Multi Pass being used instead of Multiview/Single pass due to a check failing. MSAA and Depth/Opaque texture issues on Oculus Quest/Go. Also Vulkan Multiview is in a very unstable state in 2020.1 alpha 21 using both Built-in and URP.

I have spent hours logging bugs for these issues.

 

Do you think with URP 7.2.0 there will be a fix with Multi-Pass (Both eyes to render)?

 

@phil_lira isnt it supposed to be released today?

 

Yes, but they still have time, if they mean Monday (before midnight in US time)?

 

Anything yet?

 

Awesome! Can't wait.

 

Looks like it's now available in the Package Manager, at least in 2019.3.0f6

 

Has AO been added in this release? It’s quite an essential PP effect.

Thanks for this major release!

 

@phil_lira We are experiencing a plethora of XR issues in this new release already, why is the right eye overlapped/split up on Android VR using Oculus Quest/Go? Spotted by @fherbst

 

Unfortunately that is not the only issue. It still has a problem with Oculus Quest. Multi-Pass is now rendering in both eyes but the camera jitter is still there. The jitter was not there when only one eye was rendering (Left Eye-MultiPass with URP 7.1.8). (Unity 2019.3.0f6)

 

Happy to see camera stacking made it into the URP. Any timeline for when the Camera Stacking system will work with the 2D Renderer?

 

@ThomasZeng thankyou for the response on this
The Depth/Opaque texture issue was causing UI and Depth/Opaque pass using Shader graphs to not show in builds- reported at Case 1188127 can you confirm this was fixed?
There was a test put in place for it using this PR here which you can use to check too but I assume this would catch it?
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline/pull/4803

The right eye overlapped was produced in a bug report from @fherbst from back in May 2019 which was ShaderGraphs that use texture arrays are broken, I will chase him for a case ID.
There is a repro here on github https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline/pull/5219#issuecomment-584649950
The issue is also mentioned here by @daves https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/xr-oculus-quest-vulkan-multiview-mode-fails

The following were reported prior to 7.2.0 however using the master branch a few days before release of 7.2.0, both are complete show-stoppers if not fixed anyway!
(Case 1215378) [XR][Vulkan][URP][Multiview] Left eye is rendered grey while the right eye is black
(Case 1215369) [XR][Vulkan][Multiview][Oculus Quest] Views for both eyes are rendered in the left eye and the right eye is black

Also, @phil_lira it would be great to have a response here regarding a Final Blit pass that breaks FFR (Fixed Foveated Rendering) on Android VR, it seems unfair to expect developers for mobile VR to have to create their own pipeline just to avoid the blit pass on UniversalRP when it isn't an issue on built-in render pipeline. Why does the new Universal RP Camera Stacking feature need a Final Blit when built in renderer doesn't need it? Link:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/fin...-killing-perf-on-android.737972/#post-5469459

We are so close to having Vulkan with Multiview running as expected on Quest/Go while using UniversalRP - keep up the great work and I will do my best to help squash all these nasty bugs before my release deadline so that I can use all these lovely new features.

 

You're asking me for URP / XR related case numbers?
The one you're referring to is (Case 1201706) and I recently followed up on that with (Case 1218714) because it's still broken.

I ordered the below ones by what their impact is on our work. @ThomasZeng @phil_lira I think that's a good summary of still-happening issues. It looks like a lot but I also have to say you slayed a bazillion bugs in the last months . Getting there!

URP and XR
Blockers:
(Case 1162526) [LWRP] Shadow map clears particles in Single Pass VR
Major:
(Case 1218714) [URP][XR][ShaderGraph] Shader using Texture Arrays does not compile when building, prevents build
(Case 1201706) [ShaderGraph] Compilation Errors on shader that uses IsFrontFacing and Texture Array

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline/pull/4788#issuecomment-545195183

URP in general:
Blockers:
(Case 1189556) [URP] Performance regression: Particle shader does not use PROCEDURAL_INSTANCING anymore
Major:
(Case 1217297) [URP][Vulkan][XR] Crash on pressing play when using Vulkan on Windows Desktop
Minor:
(Case 1201705) [ShaderGraph] Number of compiled Shader Variants is off by more than an order of magnitude


Built-in XR has also seen it's fair share of regressions in 2019.3, but that's probably more something for @daves:
(Case 1217594) [XR][Postprocessing] Bloom is affecting region behind Occlusion Mesh
(Case 1217591) [XR][Postprocessing] SSR is incorrect in VR
(Case 1217587) [XR] Deferred rendering is broken in Single-Pass Instanced
(Case 1217585) [XR][Postprocessing] Grey screen when using PostProcessing in Single-Pass Instanced
(Case 1217583) [XR][PostProcessing] PostProcessing misalignment when using Single Pass

 

Also as mentioned here as an issue with Oculus Quest/Go and URP - https://forum.unity.com/threads/quest-lwrp-urp-msaa-not-working.786026/#post-5472258

7.2 Does get rid of the KILL_ALPHA blit as mentioned by a dev on a different post and tested by me. The issue that is still remaining is that using MSAA enforces a blit and thus FFR is broken still when used in combination with MSAA.

 

Thanks Thomas, are there any plans for 2020.1 support too?

 

Updating to 7.2.0 from 7.1.8, killed rendering, on Android ( for us ). Still debugging this right now.
Nothing renders past the Unity Splash Screen. Just a heads up.

Slimming down our project as I type this.

 

Submitted a report. Happens on a bunch of devices, but not all. ES 3.0 was used. More details here.

Am mainly asking due to this response from the Graphics XR Lead, it made me wonder if I made a mistake sticking to 2020.1 for the latest tech alpha features as 2019.3 has Vulkan FFR working while 2020.1 doesn't yet (somehow). I always thought newest releases had the latest changes which are backported which doesn't seem to be the case this time somehow?

"please stick with 2019.3 for the time being. There are some architectural changes (specifically dealing with Vulkan render passes) in the engine in 2020.1 that have are currently affecting all the goodies you want: Vulkan, multiview, and FFR on Quest. Please hang with us for the moment, and I'll let you know when to start kicking the tires on 2020."

I am using a render feature for SSAO in URP, with 7.2.0 the render feature still works in the editor but has no effect in the build. I am building to iOS.

 

I've attached the SSAO render feature. Building with 7.1.8 works fine but not with 7.2.0. To reproduce, I am using Unity 2019.3.0f6. Add the render feature in a clean project. Create a blank scene with two objects that show off the SSAO effect in editor and build to device.

 

@fherbst has done a terrific job of investigating what it takes to get the URP Boat Attack demo rendering (albeit quite ugly looking) on the Oculus Quest.

His post also shows how the project demonstrates all the current major issues we have reported with URP in XR previously.

Package 7.2.0 is still not showing up in my package manager.. What should I do? I am using Unity 2019.3.0f3..

 

Upgrade to 2019.3.0f6.

 

Just upgraded to 2019.3.0f6 but still not showing up. I even tried Unity 2020.1a and not showing up even in that project

 

EDIT : After restarting the Unity, Trying to create a new project from scratch again! And then open the previous project and now 7.2.1 is showing in package manager. Thanks alot

 

That was the issue, thanks.

 

Just making sure we're talking about the same issue here:

I'm trying to get MSAA working on the quest as well without luck.

Unity 2019.3.1f1.

Tried both URP 7.2.1 and 7.1.8.

I'm using the "legacy" (aka the working) XR plugins from the asset store (OVR) and package manager.

Tried both Single Pass and Multi Pass stereo rendering with low overhead mode and V2 Signing.

On the URP asset;
-MSAA: 8x
-Render Scale: 1
-no depth or opaque texture

The OVR Manager;
use recommended MSAA Level: false

Using the CenterEyeAnchor camera;
Object Tagged MainCamera
Renderer set to 0: ForwardRenderer
Post Processing: false
Anti-Aliasing: none
Opaque Texture: Use Pipeline Settings
Depth Texture: Use Pipeline Settings
HDR: Use Pipeline Settings
MSAA: Use Pipeline Settings


I'm doing this in my gamemanager:

Code (CSharp):

1. /// <summary>
2.     /// Setting overrides that doesn't work correctly or is not available in the unity editor GUI.
3.     /// </summary>
4.     private void Start()
5.     {
6.         QualitySettings.vSyncCount = 0;
7.         Application.targetFrameRate = -1;
8.         StartCoroutine("MSAAFix");
9.         QualitySettings.antiAliasing = 4;
10.         UnityEngine.XR.XRDevice.UpdateEyeTextureMSAASetting();
11.         Debug.LogError(UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureDesc.msaaSamples);
12.     }
13.  
14.     /// <summary>
15.     /// Fixes MSAA not being applied in VR with URP. Taken from; https://forum.unity.com/threads/quest-lwrp-urp-msaa-not-working.786026/
16.     /// </summary>
17.     /// <returns></returns>
18.     IEnumerator MSAAFix()
19.     {
20.  
21.         UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale = 0.5f; // Any value, just to trigger the refresh
22.         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame(); // Needed to apply the changes
23.         UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale = 1f; // Use your target resolution here
24.         Debug.LogError("after: " + UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureDesc.msaaSamples);
25.         yield return null;
26.     }

Both logs of UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureDesc.msaaSamples shows 1.

Is this bug acknowledged / worked on? Is there a temporary fix I can apply?

P.S.
I noticed that in URP 7.2 when disabling Post Processing on the camera, the Anti-Aliasing option is not hidden, where in 7.1.8 it hides it.


EDIT:
For anyone with MSAA issues, go here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/quest-lwrp-urp-msaa-not-working.786026/page-2
Got it working today - together with FFR.
