    Greetings all, I am getting an error when trying to use vfx. I am new so I tried a very basic tutorial and it seems that even that seems to cause problems. I have simplified it down to the fact that I can not add a shader graph to vfx. When I do, I get an error that says:


    
Shader error in 'Hidden/VFX/New VFX/System/Output Particle Quad': Shaderpass should be defined at this stage. at line 673 (on d3d11)
    

    
Compiling Vertex program

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both hdrp and vfx but it didn't change anything. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I also uploaded a video to show the error happening

    Hi, hope I am not late and thanks for such a detailed and informative description, indeed that's a bug which seems to be resolved in later versions. So, current solution would be to upgrade your Unity version to latest 2020.3 and you should be fine.
