URP material converter loading forever/stuck (Unity 2021.2 beta)

Hi everyone, just upgraded my Unity 2020 project to Unity 2021.2b.

Then installed URP (Universal Pipeline Renderer).

After that figured out how to Convert Materials from Built-in to URP, but...

First time I tried converting materials, I left the loading for 12 hours and it still didn't load, then I Ended the process through Task Manager.

Now tried again, and it's been loading for 40 minutes, and still nothing.

I don't see any errors on the console currently.

There aren't a ton of materials.

My computer is HP OMEN, graphics card is something like NVIDEA GTX 970.

Let me know what info you need, and I'll try to figure out how to get it.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:

 

Also tried:
Creating a new URP project (sample scene).
After that I dropped in an asset with materials, this time Initialize Converters did finish loading when I pressed it.
But then Convert Assets same thing happened, its just stuck on loading for 11 hours.

 

Having the same issues. Have you found a workaround?

 

Same issue here - long time, ok.

But this feels just stuck.

Should we downgrade the project? Can we invoke the old upgrader?

Did you solve the issue?

 

just happened to me where it got stuck on 4/5 and so i didn't try to initialize the read-only materials and it seems to work fine now.

 

Same here, did you figure it out eventually?

 

Still happening in Unity 2021.2.10

 

Happening to me in 2022.1
Is there some work around for this?

 

Stuck for over 2 hours on 2021.3 LTS...

 

Same

 

Having the same issue. Every time I try to convert my project to URP it inevitably gets stalled at some point.

 

Disabling the option "Readonly Material Converter" in the Render Pipeline Converter works like magic. The option creates temporary a .index file and that can take a long time.

 

But do we need it ? What is the goal of that ?

 

If someone have the answer one day.

 

upgraded 2 projects from unity 2019 lts to 2021.3.11f1

Post Proccesing stack v2 converter is stuck initializing for 40 minutes by now..

 

Same

 

2022.3 LTS:

 

This will be never fixe.

 

It started working for me when I selected all options available and initialized the converters. It instantly initialized all of them without me having to wait another 12 hours.

Thank you I had the exact same issue and now its working just fine! Thats so counter intuitive

 

I'm having the same problem with 2022.3.11f, but I don't get the opportunity to interact with the editor to make any changes, it immediately starts converting the materials. How are you bypassing this behaviour to make the URP changes?
