Bug URP Rendering bug - breaking full pipeline

Randomly getting this error that causes all rendering to stop.

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

11. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)
12.  

Edit: This will error every frame and crash unity after about 30 sec, I'm assuming due to a memory leak as it takes >30gb ram when it crashes.

 

If I toggle the camera on and off I get:

Code (CSharp):

1. AssertionException: Editor camera must resolve target upon finish rendering.
2. Assertion failure. Value was False
3. Expected: True

After some debugging it appears this only happens with an overlay camera on the stack, if I disable my overlay camera the bug stops. But so does my whole game

It also works fine in the player (android + windows)

Just toggling the game window when not in play mode gives:

I've tried rolling back to an older beta, same issue.
I've tried reimporting all.

If I upgrade to the alpha I dont get the error, but that isnt a real option.

EDIT: If I disable gizmoes the errors no longer appear.

 

The first error i think is fixed now, see https://forum.unity.com/threads/cas...rows-an-error-when-exiting-play-mode.1161944/

As for the others, I could not create a reproduction and its impossible to strip the project down. So I was just hoping someone else might have had it. Sorry I can't be much more help.
The only "fix" i have is to disable gizmos.

 

I get this on unity 2022.2.14 and URP 14.0.7

 

got this error on 2022.3.4 + URP 14.0.8

 

i am writting this in case someone have my problem that is related with URP in Unity 2022.3.
I just updated my project to 2022.3, then in console appered a bunch of errors NullReferenceException.
I solved the problem going to the main camera > rendering > renderer, there was 2 options: was on "Default Renderer (URP-Balanced_Renderer)" and swap to "0:URP-Balanced-Renderer" as you can see in the image. Problem solved


I hope this help you. Good luck in your projects!
