- "Rendering Debugger" displays incorrect overdraw count when using "Unlit/Texture" shader
- Scene and Game views break when the Editor window is snapped with the Microsoft PowerToys
- Materials do not transfer texture when the "Shader" parameter is changed from "Unlit/Texture" to "Universal Render Pipeline/Unlit"
- [Linux][Vulkan] Crash when opening searchable dialog
- The "Shader error in 'AE/Leaves': "Undefined punctual shadow filter algorithm"" error appears when build completes on a specific project
Resolution Note:
The error is actually expected.
Load texture is GPU only and spawner context is evaluated on CPU. So no texture load can be used in Spawners.
The error message is unclear but it was improved in newer versions
