- Silent crash when clicking in Scene View in a specific project
- The Player renders black on a Quest headset when MSAA, Post Processing, and Spacewarm depth submission are enabled
- Graphics Compositor breaks Unity rendering when the "Output Camera" is changed to a scene Camera and one Camera SubLayer is active
- The Editor freezes on RenderGraphViewer.Repaint when entering too many characters in search fields without character limits
- Adding a new SubLayer in Graphics Compositor renders BaseLayer darker and makes it flicker
Resolution Note:
The user expectations was to see semitransparent shadows from the curtain. HDRP currently only supports opaque shadows, disabling shadows entirely for an object, or alpha clipped shadows ("Shadow Threshold") for transparent objects, and true semitransparent shadows is not currently supported.
