Bug Very high contrast and saturation on android build (LWRP)

Case 1219635

 

Just link all files screen shots and everything you have to Unity bug report

 

thanks.

 

hello, this bug is fixed on which version??

 

They didn't fix it yet

 

if u want easily see this bug, use app player like bluestack
with linear colorspace

 

Hi, in case you can't reproduce it, I created a bug ticket and also attached the unitypackage.
This is the link to the ticket: https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?1222779_lprdud4rrlm1i83a

 

I opened a ticket, too. Basically linear color space results in dark UI colors (3D is fine) on old-ish devices. Simply switching to gamma resolves it.
Galaxy Tab 2 and Nexus 4 have the issue. Pixel 2 and everything in the editor don't.

In short, URP/LWRP + linear is not usable for production.

 

When would the fix be released ?

 

Could you please give us release time of Unity 2019.3.9f1. ?

 

I mean i need to know that will you release Unity 2019.3.8f1 than Unity 2019.3.9f1 or next release will be Unity 2019.3.9f1 ?

 

we tested 2019.3.8f and now all 3d space/object and ui much darker now. is it normal ?? Because we are afraid that everything will get worse!!!

 

Hello sir,
We are using unity 2019.3.3f1 and URP version 7.1.8 and this Problem occurs, yet. We upgraded URP to latest which is 7.3.1 but noting changed.
Building to android devices, OpenGLES3, Linear color space and no Post Process.
You said it is fixed in URP v. 7.1.1 ? am i doing any thing wrong?

Another question, if we switch to "Gamma" color space is that slower in Performance ? or more costly ? or there is no difference in Performance ?
Thanks.

 

Thanks a lot, for your exact and quick response. So we will switch to "Gamma" i think we wont loose any thing especial based on our Project. And I will try to fill a bug report as you said.
Thank you, sir.

 

Did you try 2019.3.9f1? Because problem fixed in this version

 

Oh, I thought upgrading my URP version is enough, Thanks for your tip, I will test it today and report the result.
Thanks.

 

Hi, I Tried unity 2019.3.9f1 but the Problem didn't resolve. although i didn't try a new Project from scratch but upgrading from 2019.3.3 to 2019.3.9f didn't make any change to our Project builds.
URP v 7.3.1 , No PostProcess, Linear Color space, on devices with OpenGLES3, unity 2019.3.9f1

Any way, I think we have to switch to Gamma , i tried it and no Problem which i could notice Happened, and the dark builds bug wasn't happening with "Gamma" color space.
Thank you guys for helping, I will follow this forum.
Also I have reported this Problem as bug, hopping to help.

 

Player Settings/Blit type must be set to "Auto" please check it.

 

Oh, Thankkkks. It wooorked.
Actually In Unity 2019.3.3 the "BLIT" option was disabled, so i didn't notice it, But in Unity 2019.3.9 it is available and setting that to "Auto" resloved The Bug.
Thank you a lot.
And Thanks Unity Devs.

Although, I noticed 5 up to 15 frame rates drop in not Vulcan devices after setting Blit to "Auto" but I think it is avoidable and we are ok with that.

 

Hey 2019.3.12f still with URP still has the bug
At first it wasnt happening but it started happening when I separated the main menu and the game into scenes. Now, it happens in both scenes.
I have been looking in forums and I have found no answer.
When will be this bug fixed?

 

Okay I finally solved it by turning blit type to auto. At first I had thought that the option was hidden but it is under project settings > resolution and presentation > resolution scaling > blit type
Also, removing OPENGLES3 and leaving only VULKAN also worked for me on my Bq Aquaris UPlus

 

Yes, you have to switch Blit to Auto. Solved the issue for me. Now my 3D stuff looks like it should.
I haven't checked the actual FPS, but at first glance it seems alright. No change.
No Vulkan. No OGL2. Only OGL3 everywhere.

 

Hi, what version of Unity are you using?

 

2019.4.3f1

 

i had the same problem, you can fix it by changing the COLOR SPACE to LINEAR
this solution is temporary, and it's gonna make the quality a little bit lower, but as you want to export this for mobile it's not a huge problem

 

I'm having the same issue. Setting Blit Type to Auto corrects the colors, but then all of my text disappears. Actually it works fine in the menu scene, but as soon as a second scene is loaded all text disappears and won't return until the game is restarted.

 

Hi, I’m having an issue like this.
I’m developing a VR game for the Oculus Quest and the lighting appears to be significantly darker in the android build than in the editor. Windows builds appear fine. I’ve tried every solution I can find yet nothing helps.

Unity 2020.1.6 (Project made on 2019.3, I’ve had this issue since)
URP 8.2 (I’ve tried on 9.0p55, same issue)

 

I fix this problem by changing color space from linear to gamma

 

any update?

 

I have the same problem. I am using Unity 2021.1.28f with URP. I select the blit type always and its fixed for some device. But google vitals give me the screenshots of phone and i saw S20 5G still darker.

 

this is the fix:

1. in Project Settings -> Player -> Publishing Settings -> Build -> enable "Custom Main Manifest"
   
   
2. unity will create AndroidManifext.xml in Assets/Plugins/Android
   
   
3. in this file we added this line in <application>, right after </activity>: <meta-data android:name="com.oculus.application.colorspace" android:value="Rec.709"/>

thanks to DevAt4thWall

 

So after 6 years its not even fixed?? ...
