WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'shadername' - All passes removed

WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'shadername' - All passes removed

This warning started showing up very recently on a project on a LARGE amount of shaders, including the default HDRP/Lit.

Can anyone shine some light - Is it serious, is there anything I should do to avoid it or make it go away?
If "all passes" of a shader were really removed, wouldn't it stop drawing all together?

Thank you!

 

YEah, got the same warnings and dont know how to get rid of them

 

Listen..HDRP uses its own default shaders, which you have to comply with. This means you have to convert to the HDRP shaders on all your materials, as custom shaders that are non compliant, are not supported, wont work.

 

But these messages also occur for the default, unmodified HDRP/Lit and HDRP/Unlit shaders...

 

Could you please share some way to track this issue?

 

getting this on builds in 2019.3.14f1

 

getting this on builds in 2019.4.0f1

 

getting this on 2019.4.0f1 linux builds with Vulkan, but not on windows builds.

 

@SebLagarde, can you confirm whether this is A) Fixed, and/or B) Actually harmless? I'm getting this warning in my build only recently, sometime after going from 7.3.1 to 7.4.1, I believe, but accompanied by this error immediately at startup:

This error is thrown by CoreUtils.cs in its `CreateEngineMaterial(Shader shader)' method. I've tried recreating all HDRP resources and updating all materials to use the latest HDRP materials to the latest version, via the HDRP Wizard, but I still get this when I build. Since CreateEngineMaterial doesn't take any other parameters other than the null shader, I'm having a hard time tracking down what it's looking for.

 

In my case, it is very much harmful as the object just renders as black. The shader of that object returns this error:

Unsupported: 'VRWaterShader2/Standard' - All passes removed

WARNING: Shader 

Did you use #pragma only_renderers and omit this platform?

For the record, I am using Unity 2019.4.0f1 and building for WebGL (WebXR use case).

 

any luck with this? I seem to be getting build crashes from these errors...

 

Here's a crash report if this helps, I'm dead in the water over here...not sure what happen but I cant build anything anymore...

 

I have this issue. Everything works fine in editor. When I build the game, my grass is not drawn and I have the warning pointing out the related shader in the log. Using 2019.4.1... Will try with 2020.1, and I hope that works. Otherwise, this means migrating to HDRP during the last 3 months was a mistake since unity does not provide a production ready (or approved) product (even though they claim they do so)... Very serious trust problems right now... As I say, I hope there is a fix for this, either by upgrading the editor, or modifying the related shader by myself.

 

I'd be happy to, I can upload tonight once home.
After a bit of research some users are pointing to hardware being the issue, so currently attempting to build via an old rock I had in the closet...if it works then I suppose I am a bit closer to knowing whats up. Though it takes the older computer roughly 6 millennia to do the same work.
Either way, Yeah I'll upload report later tonight...

Thanks for looking into this for me! Truly appreciated
BTW, should I just follow unity's standard report process, or do you have a preferred method of contact?

 

@chap-unity , I just tried a build with 2020.1, the problem persists. My setup differs from conventional terrain based setup. Simply, creating a part of a large planet surface by many bending many plains and replacing the vertices according to the height map values and by the distance from the center of the planet. Foliage and rocks are placed on top of this surface. Which has no importance on our problem, but i am mentioning these for the safe of explanation of what i have just said. For foliage and rocks, i use the GPUInstancer asset on asset store. Interesting thing is, 2 grass prefabs and 1 rock prefab is not drawn on the build. But, other rock and plant prefabs on the same asset setup are drawn. The grass prefabs has a specific shader by the asset. But the other not rendered rock has hdrp lit shader. Again, in the logs for the build, i have the warning we are talking about pointing out the GPUInstancer/foliage shader. But, right after that, Another version of that warning is pointing out a HDRP Lit shader. I did not want to contact the developer before trying upgrading to 2020.1 and see if it makes a difference. Also there is this suggestion https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/ehmhj0/black_screen_using_hdrp/ suggesting to modify Managed Stripping Level. Next step is to try that. So, I will zip the project folder, first, which will take a few hours, because sometimes if I open the player settings window, all my lights (including directional lights) are gone in entire project. I wrote to another thread for this light problem.

Also, I have the max shader keywords exceeded warning active in the project. I first tried to relate this problem to that. but, the same shader working for 1 rock and 1 plant prefab, but not working for 2 grass prefabs and 1 rock prefab does not make sense in that case. If that was the problem causing this, none of my prefabs should have been drawn on the screen. A mid-step before contacting developer may also be to verify the problem is not the max keywords problem.

So, this is as far as I can think to solve the problem. Even, I could not diagnose the problem, so far, and I am literally blind. Well,I will try. I had so many similar processes with HDRP that I am considering to unzip the built-in render pipeline version of the project, and re-do all of the advancement I have achieved since I migrated to HDRP (implementing all of the sounds, all of the additional addressables since that zip was made, all of the new scripts that changed the entire mechanism of the game). And, yes, I assure you I did lots of tests with HDRP before deciding to migrate and make all of those advancements on top of that. Now, I am just sad. I just did not foresee that shader might not work, everything was (and is) ok besides that.

Anyway, thank you for your time you spared on my problem, I really appreciate. Any diagnostic suggestions would help, at least your opinion on max keywords exceed hypothesis of mine as the source of this problem. If you say "no it can not be the source" then I have one less thing to test, and saves me sometime. Now, I will change the prefab shader to HDRP Lit and see if the prefabs are drawn on the build. If they are rendered, then I will contact to developer. If they are not rendered... Well, we'll see...

 

@chap-unity , I have done several tests on several setups. In my game setup I receive the following exception:

Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 511.000000, 112.000000) (Camera rect 0 0 1389 667)
UnityEngine.SendMouseEventsoSendMouseEvents(Int32)

I can't find the source of it. In editor, when I start game and keep the mouse outside game area I don't get that exception. Whenever the mouse is inside game view while starting, I get 12-16 exceptions like that. I noticed also that the final rotation correction of the rocks was not executed in the problematic build. So, made another test scene that does not throw that exception and everything is generated and rendered properly.

So, it seems, since I can't keep the mouse out of game window in problematic build, that exception is produced and it kept generation scripts stopping execution. That's why I see 3 of the prefabs and not the rest of them in the scene.

Note that, in the setup I conducted the experiment (that one with no exceptions and everything worked), I continue to get exactly the same shader unsupported warnings, but as you suggested, it is harmless. The asset I am using is working properly, and unity hdrp is working properly.

Now, I have to find that source of that strange Screen position out of view frustum exception. I wrote to a relevant forum thread, but I would appreciate some help here, too.

What may be causing this? To re-emphasize: in the editor, if the mouse pointer is inside the view area (game view), some limited number of such exceptions are thrown, if mouse pointer is outside the view (like on the inspector while starting) no exception is thrown; and in build case, since I can not get mouse pointer out of view of a full screen application, thrown exceptions cause generation scripts stop from executing.

 

I solved the problem. It was addressables prefabs instantiating on editor but not on build for gpu instancing. There are details, will not include here.

 

From all the replies to this thread, it would be a pretty good idea to fix those warnings, if only to keep people (myself included) from blaming that warning for unrelated problems.

 

Another question on this: Is there any way for me to do something to suppress this warning myself? I'm on HDRP 7, unable to migrate to Unity 2020+. The text of the warning doesn't appear to be within the HDRP package itself, so I don't see a simple way to suppress it. Since I'll be on HDRP 7 forever, I'd like to find ways to avoid superfluous log entries as I'm diagnosing and debugging end-user issues. Is there something I can set on the shader itself to prevent this warning?

 

Had the same problem after I spent many hours on my project and it was running perfectly fine in editor. Now I get this message "WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'HDRP/Lit' - All passes removed". It is on the unity standard HDRP shaders themselves!!!

Each time I try to make a big project using Unity I get disappointed by issues like this!! The engine is significantly unstable and immature!

 

FYI, from what I can tell, that warning isn't really anything significant. It's certainly misleading people into thinking something really bad is happening, but as Seb said above (https://forum.unity.com/threads/war...rname-all-passes-removed.857728/#post-6137904) those warnings probably aren't actually related to any problem you're having.

So, if you're having an issue, you should start by assuming this shader warning is unrelated, and try to figure out the actual cause of your issue. (That is, start a new thread with specific details about your problem. You didn't even actually mention whether you actually had a problem, just that you're seeing warnings in the log, so I can't even begin to imagine what the actual issue is you're having.)

 

I resolved it by this way: Build Settings->Player Settings->Ohter Settings->Graphics APIs, and add OpenGLES2,then drag it to the first..

 

I am not sure if it will cause other problems... I just see my shader only support OpenGLES2, so I did this.

 

My build is rendering just a black camera, and I see the error above about "Shader Unsupported: 'HDRP/Lit' - All passes removed". Has anyone had or worked out the blackscreen issue? My menus appear fine.

 

Black screen here too. Did you manage to solve the issue @radiantboy ???

 

I cannot remember, I think I was trying HDRP in webgl which wont work. Are you using webgl?
