Unity 6000.2.12f1 addresses several issues across graphics, version control, and platform-specific stability. Key improvements include fixes for URP rendering, enhanced Android build support, and resolved crashes related to DirectX12 and Metal.

Key Highlights

  • ▸URP: Forward+ and deferred+ renderers no longer include null texture reflection probes in clustering, preventing invalid data usage.
  • ▸Android: Added activity-alias support for Build and Run, and fixed Unity Audio being disabled on Android 8.1.
  • ▸Graphics: Reduced memory overhead for Vulkan command buffers on Android when using graphics jobs.
  • ▸Animation: Fixed a crash when playing animation clips from the animation window on animators with invalid controllers.
  • ▸Version Control: Numerous fixes for NullReferenceExceptions, incorrect status displays, and UI alignment issues within the Version Control window.

🔧 Bug Fixes

  • UUM-120359 Android: Added activity-alias support to Build and Run.
  • UUM-121082 Android: Fixed a bug where Unity Audio was disabled on Android 8.1, which is roughly 3% of Android devices.
  • UUM-121520 Android: Reduced memory overhead for Vulkan command buffers when using graphics jobs.
  • UUM-121460 Animation: Fixed a crash when attempting to play animation clips from the animation window on animators with invalid controllers \(no layers\).
  • UUM-122776 Asset Bundles: Fixed crash when you call UnloadAllAssetBundles and there are pending AssetBundle.UnloadAsync tasks.
  • UUM-119544 Asset Pipeline: Ensure Symlinked folders are correctly detected on Unix platform and that a warning about their usage is outputted for each of them.
  • UUM-91634 Editor: Exclude LODGroups with animated crossfade from using instanced rendering to ensure correct behavior.
  • UUM-121408 Editor: Fixed a race condition in the licensing client where the Editor would succeed to make the client acquire a floating license faster than it had finished loading licenses at startup, which would make it fail to pick up the new license.
  • UUM-108763 Editor: Fixed BRG failing test on android samsung s21.
  • UUM-84855 Editor: Fixed Console Error when Adding a Scripting Define that is empty.
  • UUM-122367 Editor: Fixed false warning "BatchRendererGroups currently don't support override shaders".
  • UUM-115935 Editor: Fixed for loadable plugin directories being marked as directories when root folder is reimported. Fix updates source db version.
  • UUM-122489 Editor: Fixed perceptual smoothness in Specular occlusion for shader graphs.
  • UUM-122368 Editor: Fixed the link that opens when clicking on the ? icon in the RayTracingShader \(.raytrace\) inspector in the Editor.
  • UUM-116491 Graphics: Applied workaround for video black screen issue on Mali GPUs with OpenGLES.
  • UUM-113599 Graphics: Fixed an issue where ETC1 assets loaded from old AssetBundles could appear washed out, if the assets were originally imported as sRGB and the project is set to use Linear colorspace.
  • UUM-122934 Graphics: Fixed editor freeze if Lens SRP asset references form a cyclic dependency.
  • UUM-112854 Graphics: Fixed random GPU hang when using GPU Occlusion Culling on certain platforms.
  • UUM-125390 iOS: Fixed arg typo in updateLayerDrawableSizeFromBounds.
  • UUM-123044 Scripting: Fixed possible managed memory corruption when using API's that use arrays as output buffers.

  • UUM-116088 URP: Forward+ and deferred+ will no longer include reflection probes with a null texture in the clustering. This previously cause the clustering code to use old reflection probe data which was no longer valid if the texture was removed.
