Xcode Shader Warning (Unity4.5)

Hi,

I upgraded my project to Unity 4.5 but seem to be getting some strange error messages in Xcode
One new feature, I set the graphics level to "Automatic" before the build.
Have not been able to decode them, if anyone from Unity would comment would be great.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Hidden/TerrainEngine/Details/BillboardWavingDoublePass' - Pass '' shader state not supported
3. WARNING: no native support for texture format 5, converting to 4!
4. WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Hidden/TerrainEngine/Details/BillboardWavingDoublePass' - Pass '' shader state not supported
5.  

I'm not sure where these files are located in the project or internal files.

Google took me to this old thread: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/11...ings-setting-USE_OPENGLES20_IF_AVAILABLE-to-0

But I'm not sure what to change Shader settings to, any ideas?

Thanks

 

Thanks for the information Alexy
As I use mostly mobile shaders, is there a way I can detect which shader is causing the issue in Unity.
Currently Unity is not showing me any warnings or only in Inspector I may see this?

Also I could not find any TextureFormat.ARGB32 - ARGB in the project, this could be some kind of bug here, I keep looking to see whats causing it as this warning comes up more than once.

 

Ok, but can you help answer this:

"As I use mostly mobile shaders, is there a way I can detect which shader is causing the issue in Unity.

Thank you

 

Hi,

Did you get a solution for this ? Upgraded to 4.5 and I got this warning as well.
FPS dropped from 60 to 8 on iPhone 5.

 

No solution, just ignored it because I do not understand the problem fully.
When I googled for these issues I did not get same answer as Alexy wrote, this adding to my confusion.

But yes I still have these issues but less now.

 

Ok, thanks. Realized that this wasn´t causing the FPS problem after all

 

No this should not cause the FPS drop, this more optimisation thing.

 

Did someone found the real reason for this warning and how to get rid of it ?

WARNING: no native support for texture format 5, converting to 4!

 

Inspecting the enum TextureFormat, I found that 5 is ARGB32 and 4 is RGBA32.

When creating a new Texture2D from scripts, without a format specifier, Unity defaults to ARGB32, but is apparently not supported on iOS (tested on iPad 5).

Specifically using the constructor

newtex = newTexture2D (w, h, TextureFormat.RGBA32, false);

got rid of the problem on my iPad.

 

Thanks, excellent explanation, I will watch out for these in the future.

 

I used the above and get still the same warning...

 

My report on this problem: I am testing my game on iPad2, iPad mini and iPad Air and the warning only occurs on the iPad Air.

Edit: I checked and I always use the default Texture constructor, or attach the textures via the editor. None of the textures has import settings to refer to ARGB or RGBA

 

I got these printouts and a massive FPS drop (from 60 to 3), tried profiling and found massive spikes on gfx.waitforpresence. This thread helped me: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/gfx-waitforpresent.211166/
So in my case, the warnings did nothing really.
