@south vale I've used Team City for about 7 years. Works great, :)

It's a game engine, it facilitates games. I don't understand your question.

[glossy sluice]

Thank you for the answer. My anxiety was unnecessary probably. I thought that the project would be easier with programming in native Java and Swift. But probably not because I don't know Java and Swift. When I learn Unity and C# it is easier because I only must learn one programming language.

[celest tinsel]

Has anyone done subscriptions on Google play? Trying to figure out how to do it searching across Google but having trouble

[brazen birch]

C# and Java are both easier to learn. However, speaking frankly, Android Studio is a pain in the ass to learn for your first time. And so is swift.

That said, unity uses them both in the background anyway, so it is valuable to know all three.

Eventually you'll be comfortable with all the languages really.

But I would say I would generate a 3D version of solitaire very quick in Unity (few hours). A 2D in Java in a few days. And a 2D Inn Swift over a week.

For a 2D solitaire game, a 3D engine might be overkill because you don't need physics and all that jazz. But I'd probably use a WebGL framework in that case like Phaser or maybe Go to be honest.

It's always better to learn a single framework that's platform agnostic though as long as it's well maintained

[glossy sluice]

Would you like to collaborate on a project? I would like to dm you and tell you my idea. I have two original yet simple games in mind that would be very easy to code probably.

[brazen birch]

No, but thank you :) I run a studio, and we have 11 client projects at the moment.

[glossy sluice]

Thank you that you still take time to answer my beginner questions. I will look at Phaser and Go. Furthermore I will learn Unity and C# anyway.

[brazen birch]

But I do recommend joining game games and other discord chats, the forums have good collab sections too

[glossy sluice]

Do you recommend Dreams on PS 4, Crayta or Core?

[brazen birch]

I haven't used those I'm afraid

We mostly focus on mid sized commercial clients, governments, education, hospitals etc. So usually Unity, Unreal, Phaser, Go, BabylonJS etc

[glossy sluice]

They are all game creation games.

Good luck with your business!

[brazen birch]

Thank you, good luck, and don't hesitate to ask for help. Unity Learn has some good tutorials for getting started :)

[glossy sluice]

Another unrelated question. Do you know about copyright for games? If I have an original game idea, do I have copyright when I publish the game?

[brazen birch]

Sort of, you have a common law trademark, but someone can still copy its design

[glossy sluice]

I will just tell you my idea. Bear with me a minute until I wrote it please.

[brazen birch]

Generally - you want your idea hard enough to make no one will bother, but easy enough you can finish it

I made ~250 mobile apps and games, before ~150 AR/VR and big games and simulations. Early on a company in the Philippines started copying my work, because my initial products were too simple - they copied the names, designs, screenshots etc. You can file a DCMA and take it down.

But the real answer is making something natural to you and hard for others

[glossy sluice]

I want to make a Sudoku, but at first the field is empty. There is a pool with 9 times the numbers 1-9. Each turn a number is drawn from the pool. The player must decide in which column he wants to put the number. The number goes down the chosen column as far as it can. The goal is to make as many colums, rows and squares with the numbers 1 to 9.

[brazen birch]

I'd play it, I like soduko variants :)

[glossy sluice]

Cool.

You can take a dice with 9 sides and try to play the game. It is very simple.

I think that I will create it in Dreams on PS4. Afterwards I try to do it on other platforms.

Can I take a look at your mobile games for inspiration? What is your publisher name?

[edgy palm]

hello, i know probably a lot of people have asked this but can you not build to mobile anymore?

[analog plover]

Literally no-one has asked that before
and if you couldn't, literally thousands would have asked by now

[analog plover]

Not sure why that would mean you can't build mobile

you just have a broken setup

[edgy palm]

oh i see sorry for the delay

so do you have any idea how to fix it

i just downloaded the android module

oh wait i just checked on the use the version installed with unity

and i think it works now

thank you very much for your help :D

[cursive roost]

how can i user physics raycast with a UI button instead og getkeydown

i'm building to mobile and when i click the button it hits multiple times

[edgy palm]

i had that problem as well so i hope this helps

you can use the even trigger and pointer click

[sullen folio]

Anyone seen this error before?

E/libprocessgroup: set_timerslack_ns write failed: Operation not permitted

This is when trying to build a Unity project to Android. Not embedding it inside a native app, just trying to run a standalone Unity project on Android. This error comes up when launching, then the app crashes.

[neon thicket]

@granite tartan This is an english only discord. You can also repost your game in #502171626805133312 instead.

[celest tinsel]

does anyone know how to set up a subscription verification? using google play store

[covert hemlock]

why do my prefabs move faster using unity remote than they do when i build and then play the game on my phone?

[dire magnet]

Because your game code is framerate dependent

[covert hemlock]

@dire magnet it was, it is all fixed now, thanks for the help.

[glossy sluice]

What is the best approach to get location updates and background tasks to work in unity app on iOS?

Creating a library is quite complicated. Is there a way to be able to do that easily? Like on unityPause or on application suspended to run a swift code

[sullen folio]

Short answer is no, there isn't a way to write plugins that interface between Unity and the native OS easily. It can absolutely be done, though. What are you trying to accomplish specifically?

[flint canopy]

Are there any articles recommended that talk about using payed DLC? Im trying to decide whether i should just use ads or include skins/extra maps as payed options and don't really know how the latter would actually work

I assume from a business side it complicates things

Im kind of assuming paid dlc would be more profitable with a game that had a smaller use base vs just ads + dlc as extra content

[glossy sluice]

Hello. I have a problem with android build. GRADLE BUILD FAILED. Help please))))

[sonic otter]

that could be so many things

[proud cloud]

hi everyone. My code that I wrote yesterday was meant to change the players vertical direction on every tap but i have no idea what the problem is. The player just moves up and down very quickly.

here is my code:

wait i think this is the wrong channel

[sonic otter]

it's probably executing a bunch of times in the update loop

[glossy sluice]

Hello so I have a problem with my game whenever I move between scenes the touch button that I use to move the player stops working and when I put them in another new canvas they work but when I change the scene again it glitches again.
Any solution?

[tribal ledge]

You need to add EventSystem

[tawny radish]

what dimension keytool -validity is in? if i write keytool -validity 50 will it be 50 year or something else?

i know unity built in tool creates in years, but not sure about command

[glossy sluice]

In which scene

[tribal ledge]

Basically you need to have EventSystem in every scene with buttons and stuff like that

[glossy sluice]

Aha alright thanks! I will try it out.

@tribal ledge

Do I replace or ot

Not

[tribal ledge]

Is this problem related to the previous one?

[glossy sluice]

I dont really know I am a beginner and added input buttons however I couldnt use the touch on other scenes

[tribal ledge]

I think you just added Component Input Module, I asked you to add "Event System" object to your scene, which you can find in UI folder

When you copy your input buttons with the canvas, also copy EventSystem

[glossy sluice]

I did indeed add the event system to the first scene

Now I go to the second scene and copy the Canvas along with the EventSystem?

[tribal ledge]

Yes

[glossy sluice]

Problem fixed thanks! @tribal ledge

[ocean flint]

Can someone give me a very rough estimate for number and size of textures I can use? I know "it depends" and I will of course profile and see for myself, but I really would like a guideline before I start. I just want to know if it's closer to a single 2k texture or ten 2k textures, assuming everything else is fairly optimized.

I found resources stating 2k as a limit for older devices, which is good to know. But I can't find how many 2k textures I can use before it becomes a problem. Not even a guideline.

[brazen birch]

There really isn't one. That question depends on how much ram is on the device. The GPU will render as many images as you throw at it, provided you don't run out of ram. But it will slow down depending on draw calls, poly count, etc.

[ocean flint]

I've read stuff like that. I appreciate the answer and I respect the number of variables involved and why it's hard to provide some sort of estimate. But just as I know a billion vertices is too much for mobile, surely there's some general rule for textures? I still don't know when it becomes relevant. Let's say I have 20 different types of models moving around for a tower defense game. Let's say I have 20 materials with 40 1k textures (ignoring normal maps for now) and I want it to run smooth on lower end devices, would that be too much? Would 3 2k textures be too much? It's just so I know what to aim for initially. Otherwise I'll just begin with 40 textures and (probably) end up frustrated because I have to redo a bunch of stuff.

I'm probably asking these stupid questions because I have no experience with it yet. I'll just try something quick and ugly to see what happens.

[brazen birch]

Well, on mobile, the problem isn't a texture limit.

Taking it to an extreme

If you have 100 unique materials with 4x4K, you get 400 4K textures.

I believe it is more or less like this:

The problem is each material and texture set falls in a different draw call. The device checks if the textures are in RAM, loads them, draws them on the model, and moves on. When it runs low on RAM it will garbage collect textures based on use (remove them from RAM).

In practicality what would happen is you would get at least 100 draw calls (I ask my team to keep them below 300 for mobile). The more draw calls the slower your FPS.

If it runs out if RAM, it will slow down, as it needs to unload and load textures for the drawing sequence. Which now limits your FPS not to RAM speed but disk speed.

So, in short, it's unlikely to have a crash / hard limit. It is likely to slow down because the textures exceed the RAM and it needs to load and unload them too often

[ocean flint]

That all makes sense to me so far

[brazen birch]

It looks like after loading textures they are uncompressed, with iOS using the most ram per texture. 4096x4096 = 16MB. So 100 of those is 1,600MB - 2GB of RAM is needed or it slows down a lot

[ocean flint]

That's vram or regular ram?

Because I read that regular ram is slower

[brazen birch]

Good question, I'm pretty sure it goes to RAM as part of a cluster of data and then RAM sends it to VRAM

[ocean flint]

That makes sense

So that's another factor that could slow things down

I read that if 1 draw call uses texture A and another uses B, it's likely to unload A and load in B

Which takes time as well

So putting as many things as possible in 1 texture would be beneficial then. But I don't know at what point this becomes a problem.

The size of the image doesn't mean much, because it gets mipmapped and compressed and what not

[brazen birch]

It does the compression for the disk space though and will uncompress into ram. So a 2K texture will use 4MB.

Iirc

And yes we call it a Texture Atlas :) it cuts all your draw calls down to 1.

[ocean flint]

Yeah, I'm using those

I'm also using a trim sheet for environment assets like walls

[brazen birch]

At Red Iron, I believe our limit right now (to the team) is 400 batch calls and 500k poly. We do VR so we need a lot of 4K textures. We have an 8GB RAM limit, and want to use no more than 4GB. So we would be aiming at a max of 200 x 4k, or 800 x 2K textures.

[ocean flint]

I've done some vr stuff (didn't finish anything). It's why I'm doing mobile now to finish a game all the way through to the end before going back to vr

It's why I'm being so annoying with my questions haha. I am just one person and the amount of time I'm sinking into this makes me worried.

[brazen birch]

Although when you batch those together it goes a lot further

[ocean flint]

200 x 4k, or 800 x 2K textures.
200 as in, number of textures?

Is it standalone or pcvr?

[brazen birch]

Yeah, I've been working with it FT for about 10 years now. It's a long journey :).

Yes, I'd aim for them to have no more than 200 or 800 textures in a scene. But they would need to texture atlas those anyways for performance so it's going to really end up being 40/120 or so.

That's for standalone

[ocean flint]

Okay see, but that already helps me out immensely

Because I thought the limit was closer to 2, maybe 3

[brazen birch]

For our PC VR experiences we have some of our own performance things. So we can go to 1k batches & 4m polygons.

[ocean flint]

I can easily stay within 4 textures and have very fancy everything. Especially since it's top-down and I don't need ulta high resolution on anything.

[brazen birch]

Those numbers are what we target on a quest 2 / Pico Neo. Which has a lot of RAM. If we are making a game, we would aim for 2GB of RAM,

4 is more than fine

4x16MB is the RAM use

[ocean flint]

That's great news

I was trying so hard to stay around 1 or 2 textures and it messed with my sleep haha

[brazen birch]

It would make for a very interesting benchmark test though too

[ocean flint]

I've optimized the crap out of everything. Trim sheets help a lot with that. But I also reuse parts of models to make entirely new models.

[ocean flint]

What would?

[brazen birch]

Anything below 10, with a reasonable poly count (500k or less) and the slow downs are the unity engines other areas itself like physics.

[ocean flint]

Heh... So, it's good that I spent this much time on optimizing

Because that leaves me some room to make the game mental

I already handle waves using ecs

Thanks a lot lloyd! I'll get back to making pretty things.

Just to be sure, this was about the number of textures active in a scene at any given moment, right?

So if I have more, but spread them over levels it's fine. It just takes up more space.

[silver jungle]

Hello lads, I hope you're doing great. I've got a question if you don't mind.

I'm developing a mobile game for Android that functions in both portrait and landscape modes and for some reason when the "AutoRotate" settings is turned off on my phone that doesn't apply to my game which still autorotates itself depending on the phone's position, which is kind of annoying. I could try to change it through hard settings inside the app but that misses out the point of having autorotate on your phone in the first place.

Now I found this thread which seems to have the solution:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/android-auto-rotation-when-locked.280342/
But it doesn't exactly point out where I have to include that code in.

This seems to be a recurring issue for Android apps, but it hasn't been "fixed" yet.

Could anybody of you nice more experienced developers give me some tips on this one?

Thank you in advance.

[brazen birch]

Yes!

[brazen birch]

You can create a new script, call it really anything, and put that inside it. Add it to an object in the scene.

You'll need to add a few includes from the looks of it too

[silver jungle]

thank you

i'll try that

[brazen birch]

I don't think that script does what I think you expect it to do though

That is just tying the Android autorotate button to your app.

So doesn't fix the issue

[silver jungle]

:/

Thank you, yes it seems so. I just started searching solutions for this issue. I'll work it out eventually

[silver jungle]

Hello again lads, I think I'm getting there with the device orientation. Do any of you know if there is an "event" called everytime the device changes its orientation from portrait to landscape or viceversa? That is to avoid having to constantly check the device's orientation in an "Update" method. I'm looking for answers online but maybe some of you already know this. Thanks again

[silver jungle]

I think I found an adequate solution. Thank you!

can i test a game on my phone with unity remote 5 even if the project is set as a windows game?

[sudden solar]

I'm having issues since around February 2022 on my Samsung Galaxy S20+ (Android 12) with Unity 2019.4.12f1.
My scripting backend is already IL2CPP and target architecture ARM64 is checked.
Unity Augmented Reality apps crash on launch, this even occurs with some of my existing AR apps. I'm using ARFoundation 4.0.9.
The weird thing is a colleague of mine can use the app just fine. He's using OnePlus 9 with Android 11.
This is my Logcat from a real device:

I'm trying to release my app for production right now, and i can't figure out how to fix this error it's showing me. Can anyone help? I chose the "Let Google manage and protect your app signing key (recommended)" option...

[hollow sluice]

Hey, I just received information from google to declare my Ad ID permission in my games. I have the newest unity ads SDK version. Is it done automatically or I have to do it manually? If i have to do it manually, how I can do this in Unity without breaking out the build process?

[prime shoal]

hey guyz, I'm currently stuck on a problem of crashing game after a launch of few second, it shows black screen, but its working on few devices, I think, there's not a performance issue I had tried others solutions in web but can't find the exact issue.

[lethal beacon]

Try deleting the "Library/il2cpp*" folders before building the apk

[upbeat isle]

How can I solve them? Unity is instaled like 1 week ago I don't think the version is old

[marsh bluff]

^^ Different yet related issue. My Xcode is located in the standard /Applications/Xcode.app yet, it is not detected and I'm unable to select it even browsing manually. Anyone else encountered this before? 2021.2.17f1

Also worth noting I'm able to create an Xcode project, open this project in the Xcode I have installed, and build and run the game successfully. Just unable to do it all from inside of Unity and attach the debugger

[sudden solar]

Tried it, sadly same result :/ only difference though, it doesnt shut down the application inmediatly but I just get a constant black screen even before seeing the splash screen

[lethal beacon]

Did you delete all of the il2cpp folders? You could also try deleting the whole Library folder
If i remember correctly selecting both armv7 and arm64 target architectures also fixed it

[sudden solar]

yeah i had 2 of them, deleted both. Also i already have both armv7 and arm64 checked. Tried building after I completely emptied the library folder but sadly same result. Was going through my Logcat again and found this. Is this of any interest?

[lethal beacon]

It might've been the other way around then and selecting only arm64 worked

But if it's the same bug (https://forum.unity.com/threads/android-il2cpp-build-crashes-while-select-both-arm64-and-armv7-architecture.1113217/) i had a while ago where apks would randomly crash/freeze on startup or run just fine, deleting the il2cpp folders should always produce a working apk on the next export
So maybe you're having a different issue

[sudden solar]

Thanks for the help, I think I'm having a different issue then :/ also this seems to be an issue for unity 2020 and later, I'm running 2019.4.12

[lethal beacon]

There were some people with the same issue in 2019 i think, you could give unity 2021.2 a try to make sure it's not the same issue, that's where the bug got fixed

[sudden solar]

Yeah this is a big project so I can't just switch over to 2021 without putting in tons of work. Also it works just fine on my colleagues android phone which is the weird part. Like maybe the Android 12 update changed something (because my colleague has Android 11)

[broken torrent]

Hello everyone. While looking through the documentation and watching the videos I am still not quite clear on which option to choose when it comes to advertisements for mobile. It isn't apparent enough which option is best, and the main difference between using Advertisements vs Mediation. The way the code logic is handled is different and seems to be a little all over the place with the forums and instructional content. Please advise 😄

[brazen birch]

My advice is to never vendor lock yourself. So I'd use AdMob before Unity ads, if it was me. How you implement them and why depends on your game.

But it's kind of like asking if pepperoni or Hawaiian pizza is better

[dire magnet]

(Hawaiian, obviously)

[fair ruin]

[tame ridge]

can u make thumnails?

[grand nova]

Hi, I am developing for mobile. We have a problem with performance and have been optimizing over the course of a few months. We also recently used the Memory Profiler and it revealed TONS of references and counts that are not included within the game itself. This memory snapshot was taken directly from an Android build we made.

We do have lots of assets and tools within our game to help us with development, but not everything within those folders are being used/referenced anywhere

For example, we have no idea why "Shaders" are taking up as big of a square as presented

We use Unity 2021.1.2f1 and when clicking on these objects to find what references them, it always just shows that NO object references it

Also it mentions things such as MeshRenderer having a count of ~80K which is nowhere near what our actual game includes

As much as we thought, when you build a game in Unity, it only builds with the dependencies and references that it uses within the game itself.

Does anyone have any idea or direction that they can help to point me in? It is very difficult to find further information about these specific things.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a good experience with Gyro input ? We're building a game around it for aiming, but there always seems to be a drift which settles in at some point, meaning you start to have your hands twisted to look straight.

[cursive roost]

Hey i use Agora voice chat inside unity and when i build to to iphone the sound only comes from the earpiece, how can i fix that ????

[brazen birch]

This varies depending on your build settings. As far as the rest of it, poly counts are created by shadows, lighting, all kinds of things.

There is no easy way to improve performance on mobile expect a ton of experience and access to the code. It's rare for two projects to need the same optimization. But batch counts, RAM, poly counts etc are all things to watch out for.

[brazen birch]

If gyro tests show it is clean, then I'd guess your rotation is wrong and so storing it off center after movement

[solar breach]

Quick question. I'm having a problem where when I build my game for mobile, the fixedupdate calls get less and less frequent (fps stays at 60 without hitches)

Anybody know what might be causing this?

Actually, even the update calls get less frequent

[dire magnet]

Update calls coming less frequently means your framerate is going down

Update is called once per frame

The answer to all of this is: use the profiler to see what's happening

[solar breach]

Yeah, while debugging the issue I have run into another problem where changing anything in my code will cause the build to not run (Just get a blackscreen, checking through logcat shows that no script is even ran and no errors are being thrown). The change in code can be anything, for example a Debug.Log()

[solar breach]

I get that, but there is a difference between my debug firing every 0.5 seconds while the game runs fine and smooth, def near 60 fps

[rain leaf]

URP seems to be slower than built-in pipeline (at least in my case), and I dont think unity will discontinue the built-in pipeline any time soon, so you can just stick with the old-reliable built in pipeline if you're already comfortable with that

[foggy tinsel]

I have changed some prefabs in my game which contains lens flares to now load from assetbundles.
Since moving the prefabs to assetbundle loading the lens flares are now invisible on mobile but work fine in the editor.

Lens flare support is set to built-in shader via graphics settings and they ofc worked before changing to assetbundles and even work right now in the editor.

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
My suspicion might be that I need to add an always included shader for whatever lens flares use but I'm not sure what shader that would be

[foggy tinsel]

ok I fixed it by getting all lensflare components at runtime after instantiation and replacing them with a new .flare reference
If anyone still knows a better or "more correct" way of fixing this though let me know

[tawny geode]

Is there a definition of time or frames or anything about how much I can do after OnApplicationExit() received for mobile apps? I want to update player status to offline, can I rely on this function to be able to make the call all the time? Or do I need some kind of heartbeat support from the database/backend itself to set the player offline in case this fails?

[analog plover]

You can't rely on it 100%

and even if you could, you can't rely on the device having Internet connection at the time it runs

[tawny geode]

That's right.. Thanks

[brazen birch]

Plus if the app crashes, is shutdown from not enough ram, and I suspect if it is minimized for a while, then closed, it won't run.

You usually do status both ways - by monitoring communication server side, and by monitoring app closure.

[tawny geode]

I was using Firebase and apparently it has DatabaseReference.OnDisconnect() functionality to define logic about what should happen upon a disconnection (graceful or not). This seems like a reliable solution for now

Now another question is, I want to build my game for iOS as well but I don't have a mac. I found macincloud.com which rents servers with mac os. Is there any recommendation about building for iOS since I never tried it. And also any replacement instead macincloud.com which can offer free service (to build my Unity project for iOS) maybe?

[humble violet]

Hello all,

Can you guys recommend plugin for google and apple sign in? I tried CloudOnce but im running into issues with it when building on android.

[languid chasm]

how do I get the jdk

[odd arrow]

It is installed along with the Android Built Support module

[languid chasm]

it did not install

[odd arrow]

Then make sure your Hub is not being blocked by security apps and then reinstall again.

[languid chasm]

the hub doesnt have the option to install

[odd arrow]

Add Modules in the installs

[languid chasm]

I have to reinstall unity?

When is racing bros coming to mobile?

[dull plaza]

I'll DM you the solution if you still have a problem

Or I'll just say it here acc

Ok so go into the folder where your unity installation is located (you can press open in explorer)

And open the modules folder using a text editor (change .json to .txt)

Do ctrl f too look for sdk and look for a "selected" change that from true to false

Restart Unity hub and reinstall the android sdk module

It's gonna say some failed to install and that's no problem, just keep your eye on the jdk

Also make sure the jdk folder is empty before all of this

Hope this helps

[mighty echo]

How is that meant to help install racing bros

[neon thicket]

This is the Unity development discord. Nobody knows what that game is or when it's out. Ask the developers.

[mighty echo]

Allow it racing bros is made with unity

I thought you were the developers

[neon thicket]

No, Unity is a game engine used by many many different people to make many many different games.

[mighty echo]

Oh

[neon thicket]

So you'll have to ask the developers who made the game for an update. Nobody here will know.

[mighty echo]

So dose that mean I will never know?

If no one knows here then it is hopeless

[languid chasm]

it says this

then it says this in the console

Hi! I'm trying to export my unity game to my iPhone but it's giving me an error that I can't seem to figure out how to fix. Any help would be much appreciated! I'm using Unity 2019.4.37f1 LTS and am trying to build for iOS.

I have one plugin installed, Mapbox, which I need for my game to work. I'm unsure if that could be related to the error or not.

I also cannot update Unity to a more recent version, since this is the last version I could find which Mapbox worked on without any extra modifications.

Hello, I'm building my first android game which will be 2D.

Problem: Particle system won't show in Game View, but it works fine in Scene View.

How did I add the particle system?
Added an empty object, and to its components I had added the Particle System.

How I tried to fix the problem but with no success:
In the particle system i've changed the size, speed and texture but it did not help.
I've added the Particle System to the Canvas
I've set the Canvas Render Mode to Screen Space - Overlay

Any help appreciated.

Does anyone know if the Unity Player is compatible with Fire OS?

From the system requirement docs:

- Hardware must be running Android OS natively. With the exception of Android for Chrome OS, Android within a container or emulator is not supported.

So I'm not sure from this information if Amazon Fire tablets are supported.

FYI it looks like the answer is no.

Hello guys, is there a discord group for Unity developers for mobile games? So far I only seen developers for Desktop.

@frozen vapor @odd arrow @neon thicket discord link for Mobile games, something like GameDev.tv or something.

This is the one and only "official" discord for Unity. Anything else would be voluntarily created and we'd know nothing about it.

Because I'm struggling to find community that's only focused in mobile area games with games/samples/tricks they have. Or not necessarily a discord, but anyone know any site/links that have that?

Hey guys. Has anyone else encountered this problem on Android before? After I launch my unity app on my Samsung S21 5G and connect to bluetooth all sounds that were playing, stop. This isn't an issue with short sfx but for music/background on loop, it's a problem. Disconnecting from bluetooth doesn't bring the music back. I was able to replicate this issue with an empty project, just an audio source with a clip assigned and loop + play on awake turned on. Other applications like PokemonGO are able to play sounds just fine immediately after connecting to bluetooth.
I was not able to replicate the issue on my LG G7 ThinQ. I'm using MPOW M30 True Wireless Earbuds

In UMA, we generate atlases into RenderTextures. On PC, it's advantageous to copy those out to Texture2D so as to avoid eating up GFX mem. I'm unsure of the IOS/Android shared memory implementations - is it advantageous to copy RenderTextures out to regular Texture2D on Mobile platforms? Or is the shared memory dynamic, and makes this just a waste of time?

how much does multiplayer feature cost in unity?

[sonic otter]

don't crosspost

[fringe sparrow]

Hey guys, I am trying to make a game that uses google play store services. When I run the game in the editor I have no errors on the Console and so then I build the app in the Android platform. I make sure that I go to Asstes> External Dependency manager> Android Resolver> Force Resolve. Says it revolved any issues. And so I do not see anything wrong.

However, when I run the apk I get an error that says that my app has stopped, i try to open it again and it says that it keeps stopping and finally closes

Any idea of what I can do to find where the problem is?

[brazen birch]

You can use ADB to read the Android log in realtime and see why it is closing

You can filter for Unity using ADB logging as well. It'll help you a lot down the road.

[brazen birch]

Depends on what multilayer framework you use, how many users there are, and how you handle match making.

We have dozens of multiplayer games, our cost is 0/month for the multiplayer services.

[fringe sparrow]

alright thanks, ill give it a shot

[marsh helm]

Let's say 50-100 players max because I saw something 100 CCU does that mean

Only 100 players ever in life time?

Or am I misunderstanding this

@brazen birch

[brazen birch]

100 players at once :).

For example, let's pretend you have a hit game. The average person plays for 1hr a day and its international.

On average you would need 24hrs x avg play time (1hr) x CCU (100) before you start paying.

So in that case you could have 2,400 players a day before you start leaving the free mode. Say 1,000 to be safe

In reality though most online games are only 15mins of play. So your CCU is going to start hitting at an average of 9,600 players a day or 28,800 active players a month.

In my case though, we run private servers, so we have only our server capacity for the CCU limit. Which costs me about $35/month for about 5,000 CCU.

...
Tl;dr - you'll have a fairly profitable game before it becomes a problem.

Hi. I need some help with a simple question. Where is the AOT prebuild button in versions +2021 please? I might need it because my project has broken after changing to IL2CPP

[brazen birch]

Curious but why not use the lens flare system for it?

Just don't forget to add a flare layer to your camera

[native sequoia]

mainly for the performance cost

[brazen birch]

I came across something the other day, someone who worked hard to make a single draw call lens flare for mobile that was pretty slick, it only worked for 1 screen flare on the screen though. If you google for lens flare effects you might find some other lightweight and interesting alternatives

[native sequoia]

and also the fact that the player won't be able to move around as much to notice the lens flare

[native sequoia]

That's probably what i'm looking for. I'll try to find for some more alternatives online

[native sequoia]

Thanks for the help @brazen birch If you happen to come across that link again somehow, do let me know.

[brazen birch]

Found it
https://github.com/pschraut/UnityOcclusionLensFlare

I thought it was an interesting approach with some good merit

Awesome, thank you very much. At a glance, seems like it will be quite useful. I'll go through it and try and get it working.

Is it possible, to get informstions like afr and birthday of the google account from the android user, that plays your unity game?

[jade abyss]

Ehi guys, I made a game in Unity but I would ask you which platform I should build the game to let players play with it through the web with a mobile phone.

[brazen birch]

Unity only has one platform for web builds

Keeping in mind most unity versions don't support WebGL on Mobile and your milage may vary

[sonic otter]

mobile restrictions for android aren't that many. iOS you have to switch to AOT compilation so you can't use dynamics and have to use a mac + xcode. WebGL is AOT compilation AND single threaded at the moment. Plus you can't use video. There's a list of restrictions on the docs

We have a game that gets built for iOS and Android. The building, deploying etc all work nicely, but there are occasional errors that trigger exceptions. When run in the Unity editor exceptions always contain full stack traces with line numbers, but on mobile the stack traces don't have any line numbers. What do I need to do to get full stack traces for builds deployed to devices?

I do set BuildOptions.Development for the call to BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer()

Hello, I've been struggling with Firebase CRASHLYTICS integration with NDK support for IL2CPP for a few days. Is there anybody who has it working in Unity?
Integrating Crashlytics without the NDK support is working for me but I can't seem to find the right gradle configuration for the NDK. Gradle build always fails and every time I google a solution it leads to another issue right past it. I got even to a point where the solutions contradict each other and both lead to a dead end. I am using Unity 2019.4.34 LTS
Is there anybody who could show me the correct setup for the custom gradle Unity templates for Crashlytics with NDK support? (mainTemplate.gradle, baseProject...gradle, launcherTemplate.gradle etc.)
Also how do you call the upload of NDK symbols? As far as I googled no solutions show how to do this when working with Unity, all are for pure android and gradle.

[vague ferry]

Hey I have a question. Is it possible to have an app produce sound while it's running in the background and not in the foreground?
I wanna try to code myself a personal reminder app that uses specific sounds and voicelines cos it's how I personally find help with my short memory and ADHD and I tend to easily overlook simple notifications from most reminder apps
So I kinda want it to produce sounds even when my phone is closed or running in the background. Kinda like playing music on music playing apps

Does Unity have any sort of implementation for this kinda stuff?

I would not use Unity for this - I would chain an android app using the Android SDK

Hey guys I've been stuck in my project, and am very sad as I'm not sure what to do and been trying to understand solutions hopefully that I can tackle this problem.

Is there anyway I can use my app or whether its the operating system API(Android/IOS) or any solution to tackle what I'm trying to do. its as following.

a user is going to use my app for example to be in the background or somehow go on another app and check out the score, for example if you play magic pinao or something read the score and store it? its like a score tracker.

like for example if anyon knows league of legends, na.op.gg the website offers a tracker, but they're able to do it since league has a developer tool for APIS and developers.

how can I do a screen recorder,check read the score of a game or something. Like an OCR(solution) or something simple and not complicated.

Hello guys

anyone know what the standard width and height of an animated splash screen should be for IOS and Android?

@strong plume me

[neon thicket]

Don't crosspost.

The splash video needs to be big enough to fit large resolutions, such as an iPad. Otherwise, if it's just mobile phones, use whatever reference resolution you've been doing for your UI and let it scale up/down as needed.

Shouldn't it disappear after I was invited to a paid program

?

[marsh helm]

@neon thicket What is the standard resolutions for most Android and IOS screens, and do I have to make another what is the standard resolution for large resolutions .

[neon thicket]

There is no standard

A common reference resolution is 1920x1080. And no you don't necessarily have to make another one for larger resolutions, but that depends on the elements. You could rely on the UI system to scale/anchor your stuff such that it fits larger resolutions.

Or, you can go the other way around and design for larger resolutions and have smaller devices crop out the edges that aren't necessarily needed (in the case of a background, for example).

[marsh helm]

ohhh I'm stupid 😦 now I know what you mean by resolution and how I was reading about splash screens, so 1920x0180 is common on all mobiles correct. Do some mobiles have 4k and above? thats crazy xd.

@neon thicket I LOVE YOU! you made it the "aha moment and clicked it in"

❤️

[neon thicket]

Samsung phones have even thinner resolutions, which is particular tough.

Unity has a Device Simulator package you can install that lets you see your UI on different phones.

[marsh helm]

is there a site I can look at that has all those resolutions?:

[neon thicket]

The point isn't to worry about "all" the resolutions, it's to design for a common one and with proper implementation of the UI with anchoring and such, and let Unity handle it.

[placid herald]

how can i let my player move right and left with ui button work on mobile pls im new

@neon thicket just one more question, are splash screens best in .json file

or xml or what loads them once I do the animation?

just trying to think ahead once I finish the animation.

[neon thicket]

Like ... an animated screen?

Just make it a video. 😛

That way you can include sound as well.

[marsh helm]

yeah like magic pinao tiles(have you heard of it or seen)

their animation splash screen is really nice

how did they do it? was it a video?

not a animated and then sound? I thought the sound would be included in a timely manner

[neon thicket]

I haven't seen it, no. But if it's complicated splash screen, then it's likely video. If it's just a logo animation, that could be done as a sprite sheet. Really depends.

[marsh helm]

its a logo animation with sound(has to have a sound at one point of the animation) so I guess its better to include auido

Audio*

[marsh helm]

@neon thicket "Sure..will add sounds at the end..but not sure if a video can be used for the splash screen for androids/ios if yes all is ok.

Please see this is an example of sound I added for video logo animations"

I read this thing on a site, is a video animation file like .mp4 allowed on mobile devieces such as IOS and android for splash screen?

because I thought it was okay after you told me but this person is telling me u cant.

[neon thicket]

Yep, you can use video on both those platforms.

Source, we've done it. Quite literally last month, for our splash screen animation.

[marsh helm]

perfect ❤️ god lbess you

that guy scared me xd lol

i was just working on animation for .mp4 file

Hello guys !
On appstoreconnect, I upload a new build but I can't see anymore the IAP tabs to attach the IAP to the new build. I can see all my IAP in the "Features" =>"In App Purchases" (in "Waiting for review" status) but I can't see the IAP tabs in "iOS" => "6.0 ready for submission" or in "General" => "App Information" to attach/link them to the new build.

Is it normal to not see them anymore because I attached them to the first build and now they are attached automatically until the IAP will be review at the same time as the app (and in PASS status) ?

will this update when i install the app

or do i have to wait time

how often does it update?

[earnest breach]

hi i have a problem the objects have a black border/shadow/trail when i move i dont know why (only on mobile)

[celest tinsel]

@shadow nova What I did was just filter the date out, so you can click on the calendar and exclude that time frame and start from when you release it.

@tender summit are you looking for an auto update when you open the app?

@earnest breach are you able to run the game and switch over to scene view and see if they are still making those borders? see if its just a build problem or if the problem is in the object

you should look at that object and start turning off any children you have on it one by one and test and see if it goes away by turning one of them off, then you know the problem is a component with that one child, without code or seeing your object that is all i can guess

this is the script thats executed, dunno about an autoupdate

other then that theres no errors from fasebook sdk

i did have errors that i fixed by installing some OSS and making some java link in environment variables

which removed the ! warnings

now theres no warnings

[earnest breach]

its only on android -> the build/final game

[earnest breach]

OK fixed it

[celest tinsel]

@earnest breach what did it end up being?

@tender summit what are you trying to do? I dont understand from your post, you posted a picture but idk what that is, where it came from etc.

[earnest breach]

depth of field

[celest tinsel]

Well its good you were able to solve it without too much of a headache

Hey guys

I have an app that I'm trying to develop on mobile but it also seems like about 70% of the functionalities can also be done on web. 30% has to be done natively on mobile as it can't be done on Web, Can a PWA work on this case if I develop one App that is shipped for all(Flutter)?

[hallow birch]

Anyone know if i can add my own custom 'device' for unity device simulator?
Samsung Flip3 isn't on there... and its the only device i run into problems with for my own game (i happen to own the phone myself) and its a 22:9 screen.

[fast egret]

game works just fine on my 2 devices, am I going to have an issue in the future if I'm getting this?

[tender summit]

im just installing the facebook sdk and i expect to see installs in the facebook developer page, but i dont see any

i see it registered an install from yestarday

does this update every 24h or?

yestarday and now when i reinstalled my app it doesnt register

[rich hawk]

I'm having trouble exporting to mobile for the first time, I wonder if I'm missing something obvious but I cant find my issue anywhere.

This happens for both Android and IOS, yet other builds like WebGL work

[earnest breach]

so if anyone knows why depth of field is not working properly in urp on Android please tell me (this happens)

[sonic otter]

mobile you can't mess with Application.persistentDataPath directly. You have to create a subfolder and the it'll be happy

add a subfolder in the path

"/subfolder/gameoptions.json"

File.WriteAllTextAsync should create the directory if it doesn't exist, and if it does exist it overwrites it

File.WriteAllText should do the same

basically it's just a permissions issue with the root folder

Application.persistentDataPath points to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<packagename>/files

ok, you could try creating a directory

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Application.persistentDataPath + "/subfolder" )

I haven't tested that, so I'm not sure if you need the extra / before subfolder or not

[shadow nova]

Hello everyone,
My game is available on Androïd and iOS. I bought my own IAP on Android 2 days ago with real money to test it. But can't see any financial report in Google Play Console. Is it normal ? Guess I miss something but what ?

I see in Unity Dashboard that an IAP was made and I've received the mail from Google that tell me the purchase is completed and validate

So I don't understand why I can't see it on financial report in Google Play Console

[shadow nova]

Ok in the play console app I can see the purchase but estimated net income =0$ ... Why ?
May some one help me please ?

[charred vale]

does anyone know how to get an android app working on bluestacks? if i connect my phone i can install and run it perfectly fine yet on bluestacks it just shows a black screen and never loads

[night plaza]

To build a iOS application I need to install unity too or I just need the xcode project and xcode?

[neon thicket]

Well you need Unity to generate the xcode project. But after that, you only need xcode.

[night plaza]

Ok thanks

[hallow birch]

wow...the link Google has to their own android development studio doesn't even work. [[ applaud meme ]]

Got it to work now.... man Unity Remote performance is slow...

[cerulean moss]

URP Post processing is working on android devices?

cause I have bloom effect and its working on PC but when I build for android, it's not appearing

[restive berry]

We have a ready to upload game project that we have been developing over 3+ years, now we started to upload to stores. But Play Store's AAB limits (1GB install-time pack type limit) inhibits us to upload our game. We have searched about and saw ".androidpack" things, since our game is cross-platform which for PC/Android at the moment, we don't want platform dependent solutions and also it also needs to change our code-base which will also take time. Also we saw that someone advices AssetBundles, Addressables but this also will need to change our code-base. As Unity docs says, it will divide 2 packages as StreamingAssets and other assets and also set larger "install-time" and smaller to "fast-follow", isn't there a way to divide 4-5 packages and mark them all "install-time"? We have seen custom asset packs but they can not be referenced in scenes and needs to be worked on code-base.

if at the end, there is no solution and we need to change our code, for a game that will work on mobile and PC platforms, what would you advise us? using AssetBundles or Addressables or something better?

[brazen birch]

Google doesn't want to host 1GB games and doesn't want them to be installed for the store. The right unity way imo is project size reduction or asset bundles.

[restive berry]

our game's APK output is like 3.5GB

[brazen birch]

Addressibles - are mmm how do I put this, a bit of a make work project. They don't really do what asset bundles do, so even with addressibles you would need asset bundles anyway

[restive berry]

and also in future we will have regular updates

[brazen birch]

Yes, and no mobile player wants to download a 3.5GB APK every update either. You have to think and build different for mobile for incremental updates.

It'll also make it easier to add modding support for Steam though

My advice, with Unity, is to look at asset bundles. Once you get used to them they are very helpful

They are also a damn convenient way to do massive world's. As you can load and unload and download them per game region. So the games install size and memory use is smaller and you can scale the game much bigger.

[restive berry]

well, at the end, these AssetBundles will need to be downloaded, should we use our servers or is there an service in play store?

[brazen birch]

We had a project that was 100GB, 20sq KM, real photogrammetry captured. By splitting the models into 1m cubes and using asset bundles, the app started immediately (no 5 minute loading) and began streaming almost instantly.

We use dedicated servers, but there might be free alternatives

[restive berry]

Play Store doesn't allow us to change scripts by AssetBundles i guess?

[brazen birch]

You can a bit, look up using code in asset bundles. There are some good work arounds.

But what you can always do is include the code in the APK update, and then it can use it in an asset bundle.

Going the modular route like that always causes some rethinking and design unfortunately.

You can, to an extent, use an APK and download an OBB as an alternative. But I think that has a 1GB limit and I believe we did that through out servers as well.

Google needs to rethink its strategy for big apps and games IMO.

But someone else might have a better way of doing it too

[restive berry]

Thanks for advices, I guess we're going to this AssetBundle way, this was a big surprise for us at the moment, we thought we will upload AAB file and google will scan for changes and it will just update what changed, in PC side we were using a updater/launcher system but at the moment if we change to AssetBundles we will probably remove this updater. Google's strategy causes high load for us but looks like nothing to do at the moment. Can I add you as friend in Discord?

[brazen birch]

It's a pain I know. Good luck! Keep looking through there might be better ways

We mostly do VR and control the distribution so 3.5GB isn't so bad for us. But going through Apple and Google you hit their limitations a lot

[restive berry]

thanks, good luck you too!

[void mantle]

hey I have a weird issue where the frame rate would sometimes randomly get cut exactly in half (60 >= 30) and the screen would move and left right for a few frames, like lagging. I've set Application.targetFrameRate to 60 and QualitySettings.vSync to 1 but it didn't change anything. This issue only happens when playing on mobile

[void mantle]

very weird, for some reason that issue happened less likely after increasing the quality for mobile

[vagrant trail]

Hey, I am sure I installed the Android NDK & SDK but the files are empty for a reason

why's that

[void mantle]

I still can't find a solution for my issue

[quartz kernel]

You can build in development mode and connect the Unity profiler to the app @void mantle

[void mantle]

does it also work on mobile?

because I tried and the profiler didn't show up

[quartz kernel]

Detailed here https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/profiler-profiling-applications.html

[void mantle]

thank you

[void mantle]

okay I found out that gfx.waitForPresentOnGfxThread uses almost 70% (part of PostLateUpdate.FinishFrameRendering which uses over 80%)

Semaphore.WaitForSignal is almost 70% as well

[void mantle]

I still can't seem to find a solution for this issue

I've read that it just waits for the cpu to process the frame but I made a much more graphic and cpu intense game where this issue didn't occur

[sonic otter]

Semaphore sounds like a multithreading issue

Guessing that's just handling the back and forth stuff between unity internal threads/jobs

maybe you have a library that uses threading too

[void mantle]

and how can I reduce the usage/latency caused by this?

[sleek eagle]

Isn't it vsync? Looks like those timings?

[void mantle]

does that mean vsync reduces my performance that much?

[sleek eagle]

No, it will match the framerate (30 or 60 fps). The rest will be 'waited'

[void mantle]

yes but it causes latency spikes

mobile: from 60 FPS down to 30 or 20
editor: from 500 FPS down to 200 or even 150

Also would vsync not sync the framrate with the device's/monitor's Hz? When I've tested on mobile without setting Application.targetFrameRate to 60, it would still cause lags

I've been thinking of a solution for this issue for a few days already but nothing seemed to help

[graceful phoenix]

im trying to make a mobile 2d project and i get this does someone know a fix?

[void mantle]

also the game is really not cpu or gpu intensive, it's an 2D endless runner with a tilemap. there are no more than 30 active tiles and only like 10 tiles spawned per second

so does this mean my game is too intensive for the cpu or what?

because I really can't see a reason why the cpu or gpu would need to wait that long

[sleek eagle]

@void mantle set the framerate to 60 and maybe disable vsync.
Also enabling and disabling optimize frame pacing can be interesting to look into and read up upon.
But I'm guessing this is a vsync thing

[void mantle]

I did that but it even increased the lag spikes

where can I change that optimize frame pacing?

[sleek eagle]

I'm guessing it's a GPU thing bottleneck, but I can't be 100% sure from the profiler screenshot

[void mantle]

so if I disable vsync the lag spikes would go away?

alright I'm profiling the gpu as well wait a sec

[sleek eagle]

@graceful phoenix click continue and read what it says in the console

[sleek eagle]

Not too sure if android works well without vsync, haven't really tried.
Maybe add an fps counter or something

[void mantle]

I did

and when the lag spikes occur the fps goes down to 30 or 20

for a few milliseconds

[sleek eagle]

Ah alright, then look into the profiler for cpu and gpu for when the spikes occur

[void mantle]

it says I can't look for gpu since it uses the vulkan renderer

where can I change it?

[sleek eagle]

And google any unity terms. I googled the finish frame rendering and read this is caused by a gpu bottlenecked

Ah yeah android profiling

You can look at the GPU stats like draw calls etc, but not exact render times. For that you need to profile on desktop

[void mantle]

I searched like through 10 forums already

but couldn't find a solution

[sleek eagle]

The solution is optimizing your game (;

[void mantle]

some of them say it's a bug and some say it's because the gpu waits for the cpu to finish loading but that doesn't help me at all

[sleek eagle]

If needed I do quick performance check ups work for small teams as a freelancer

[void mantle]

but how should I optimize my game if it's just a few tiles that are spawned

[sleek eagle]

No it's the CPU waiting for the GPU

[void mantle]

ups okay my fault

but my cpu is pretty garbage compared to my gpu

[sleek eagle]

Check in the profiler 😅
Can't help much more without having my hands on the project

[void mantle]

but where can I change from vulkan to OpenGL?

I can't check my gpu profiling

[sleek eagle]

Player settings

https://youtu.be/7S6QQKtvNo8

This also might help

But I'm assuming your issue is in the device and/or draw calls. But again, can't say for sure without seeing the project. For that you can send me a DM

[graceful phoenix]

i fixed it i restarted unity and it worked lol

[sleek eagle]

Ahh, typical😂

[void mantle]

alright imma make a build and profile the gpu on my mobile

thank you for your help

but still, how's 30 tiles too much for a pretty good phone

[sleek eagle]

No problem, feel free to tag me or DM me for later performance things

And that depends on a lot of things with the tiles haha. Too many variables

[void mantle]

and why are there framerate spikes, shouldn't it have a bad performance all the time?

thanks

and why is semaphore 0ms on my pc and like 30 on my phone?

and there are still frame spikes

on my computer

[sleek eagle]

Your PC might not sync the fps to 30 or 60

[sleek eagle]

That means you can profile them properly

[sleek eagle]

For people readinf along, switching to OpenGL fixed it

[chrome dome]

Hi, what sort of software would I use to make this sort of thing ?

[sleek eagle]

Anything that supports mobile development? @chrome dome

Game size and graphics doesn't matter it still lags a lot

This problem wasnt here some time ago but it came and become a big issue to run unity games on my mobile

[timber slate]

hey guys, I have problems with ios builds

first error is, Unity iOS project fails Xcode validation with "Invalid Bundle. The bundle at '[app]/Frameworks/UnityFramework.framework' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'."

but my question is what is causing it?

so I can get rid of it completly 🙂

there's only admob sdk and facebook,unityads,apploving mediation network (over admob) added to project nothing else

ah unity version is 2021.2.19

[drowsy cedar]

hello peep

peeps

i am currently having some mobile troubles

i launched my unity game with 2021.1.23F1 and it crashes on iphone 11 below, and most androids i have tried

it crashes on start up, basically unity logo loads then it goes black and closes

it works fine on my iphone 12 pro

also

wtf is all this lol

how do i have 30,000 errors

i cant imagine this is helping

btw i changed my unity version to 2021.3.1F1 and xcode 13

[pine epoch]

U probably forgot a semi colon

😂

[drowsy cedar]

lolol

but wouldnt that be caught in the build

most of the errors are - this function declaration is not a prototype - code will never be executed

[pine epoch]

@drowsy cedar do u know why?

[drowsy cedar]

no idea

sounds like there may be some heavy processing needed for your game

but if it ran before then idk

@pine epoch do they normally respond here? it looks like a lot of questions but no responses

[pine epoch]

They respond but 0fps

Or 1

Or dont but dont get a not responding popup

Cause game dont lag

Actually it makes whole system ui lags system ui geta frozen and crash once ui gets crash game also and sometimes dont

It dont show up any not responding pop up

[drowsy cedar]

@river lake can you help here?

Hey,
I recently moved from UE5 to Unity,
I heared that its more compatible with Mobile games.
I want to learn about this software a bit so I downloaded Open Source files from google of some basic game.
I matched the version and it seems that all the materials, animations, meshes are ok.
Tho I can't understand how to make it work when I "play" the game.
I guess something is missing since there is nothing in the top left window.
any ideas?

You need to open the correct scene to start playing @grand rose. Currently you just have an empty scene open

If there's a scene called 'main' or something like that then that's probably a good place to start

yes, creating that folder under Assets/Plugins/Android will cause it to get added to the gradle build. Note that this was deprecated in newer versions of Unity, in which case you'll have to use an aar or the .androidlib folder structure

[tired lily]

Assets/External Dependency Manager/Android Resolver. If you don't see this entry, you're probably missing Google Play services like Carwash said

[vagrant trail]

ughh, 'gradle' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

[hardy pawn]

hello , I'm hitting walls everywhere i turn.. does anyone know of a clear cut tut on updating an already published app? or do i just republish it

[neon thicket]

You upload a new version.

[latent granite]

Hi,
I have this error when trying to build for Android in unity 2021.3.1f1 Anyone has any idea how to tackle this?

Error building Player: Exception: OBSOLETE - Providing Android resources in Assets/Plugins/Android/res was removed, please move your resources to an AAR or an Android Library. See "AAR plug-ins and Android Libraries" section of the Manual for more details.

[glossy sluice]

where do I install modules from

[neon thicket]

Modules can only be installed on versions of Unity you've installed from Hub. And it'll appear in the menu when you click the gear icon.

[glossy sluice]

I installed it from Hub but yeah I reinstalled Hub several times,
Does it appear on your Unityhub?

I'm sure my one is latest

[pine epoch]

Doesn't matter if u install it from hub if u reinstall and locate editor it will take it as external install

[pine epoch]

I wanna know why we cant install build support and other stuff for external installation

[glossy sluice]

hub automatically added the unity, and i could not remove it

[pine epoch]

I got ghost ping

[glossy sluice]

it was me

i deleted the msg,, didnt mean to send it

[pine epoch]

Once it also happened to me

And i forgot what i did

[glossy sluice]

nice , but for me i installed a newer version

along with modules i needed so everythings solved now

[glass mountain]

the bleeding edge unity version, 2022.2.0a12, is simply not letting me build an apk file due to ndk and sdk compatibility issues

tried reinstalling the editor, different projects, and even linking the sdk and ndk stuff from an earlier build that is known to work

Wondering if anyone with this version could try and compile a build for android just to see if it can be done

otherwise it must be something wrecked on my end

[glass mountain]

looks like the command line tools aren't being installed in 2022.2.0a12

[late stratus]

Hey my partner and I are actually running into a very similar issue.

It's our first time making a mobile game and I'm struggling to get it onto android for the first time. I see a lot of conflicting information and it's kinda hard to figure out what's breaking. I had one tutorial say Studio was essential, and another saying you don't need studio at all. The latter uses a system where he downloads a JDK but a liked and pinned comment says Unity has a JDK installed by default now. By that logic though, it also has an SDK too.

Note: I had the Android SDK pointing at the SDK I downloaded when I tested it and got that error message

[late stratus]

I just tried this too and nothing changed. In my tutorial video I noticed the file downloaded was called 'sdk-tools-windows-4333796.zip' but the same site now calls it a 'commandline-win-8092744_latest.zip'. That's what I grabbed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojt7ITyklGk
This is the tutorial

[tribal ledge]

Any resources or guidance on how to open arbitraty files in a Unity app? Especially how to make your app a default opener for certain filetypes

Having trouble finding resources on how to do that

[mortal mountain]

i have a mobile game idea. How do i know if its original? Its very simple so i couldnt find anything related on the internet

[neon thicket]

If you can't find something similar, then that's how? 🧐

[oak ravine]

wait u can set up unity with java?

or is it compling to java?

[river python]

Help please
i try to add a new ad network to the "Unity Mediation"
and after install any other "ad network" when i try to build apk i got this error
"Missing 'package' key attribute on element package at [com.adcolony:sdk:4.6.4] AndroidManifest.xml:17:9-55"
and this with all sdk(ironsource,meta...)

[sacred creek]

Anyone here firm with firebase?

[pine epoch]

Unity webgl dont support mobile

Well u cant make web based games for mobile with unity

I dont use ios or safari

[frozen vapor]

@pine epoch @hearty leaf WebGL builds should work alright on iOS. For a while Unity just didn't officially support it. Mobile support for the browser exports have been increasing in the recent versions and you shouldn't get a popup about mobile support anymore.

[undone jetty]

hey someone have already used Mediation for do the ads ?
'cause i really need help

[frozen vapor]

Do you really need to do it on iOS? This is trivial on a PC

[deft yew]

can someone export/build my unity project to an apk

it wont let me thanks

[indigo condor]

as you know when there is a native crash on mobile, (in this case iOS) a report is sent on the next run automatically. Is there any way to know info aboutt that report or if it has been sent any?

[royal ice]

Is vertex shader efficient for mobile games?

[sonic otter]

Nah you can have normal objects in your game as long as you use them as objects and create them normally.

[sonic otter]

what errors are you encountering? Are you using android studio?

[pine epoch]

What about android and other mobile os?

[frozen vapor]

Yea mobile in general is getting support. Mobile in the modern day being defined as Android and iOS 😄

Though more accurately it might just be support for the mobile APIs of mobile browsers and general efficiency of the WebGL runtime.

[pine epoch]

Ok

[deft yew]

unity build

trying to make an apk

but it says jdk isnt like working

not sure

[pine epoch]

What are the errors

Can u send what console says

In some paste bin

[deft yew]

Idk how to do that

i just got sent a project for an app

and need to export it

i payed for an app and had to build/export

basically

[pine epoch]

Copy error from console and paste in some paste bin sites

[deft yew]

Wait can i just send you the project itself

[pine epoch]

Is it made with unity?

[deft yew]

and like you can export it as apk

yes

[pine epoch]

No

[deft yew]

its made in unity

[pine epoch]

#854851968446365696

[deft yew]

oh so i cant

[pine epoch]

Cant what?

[deft yew]

like send it to yo

you

[pine epoch]

Do u know where your console is?

[deft yew]

nope

[pine epoch]

Vc me tomorrow

No mic

Where u live or whats your time zone?

[deft yew]

oh wait i found it

i live in sweden

i found the console

[pine epoch]

👍

[sonic otter]

You picked the wrong JDK for that project. Delete the exported build and reimport it in android studio. This time select ANDROID STUDIO's JDK, not the JDK from Unity.

[deft yew]

Ok

[pine epoch]

Why android studio jdk?

[deft yew]

do import the unity project in android studio

[pine epoch]

Ig this gonna be a mess

I never tried making for mobile

Idk

[sonic otter]

I'm guessing Android studio's jdk is required because it has things that the Unity JDK is missing. Just my workflow has always been this way--sometimes the emulation stuff is missing in Unity that is there for A.S.

[deft yew]

its not working

[pine epoch]

But unity install android jdk that it needs we can custom install it if we know version

[sonic otter]

hmm so I export from Unity to a build folder somewhere

then in android studio I hit import project

upon first opening it will ask me what JDK to use, and I select android studio's version

after gradle finishes I hookup either my emulator or hardware phone and then hit run and it opens on the selected platform

[deft yew]

not working

theres like too many errors

[sonic otter]

oh ok, close the project and go into the unity hub

install the JDK in the android platform setting for that version of unity

[deft yew]

Where do i find that?

im using version 2020.3.20f1

[sonic otter]

in installs

hit the gear

hit add modules

under platforms, check the box for Android SDK & NDK Tools

[deft yew]

Theres no option to add modules

it just says show in explorer

and remove from hub

[deft yew]

i fixed this problem

but i got another one

UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+BuildMethodException: Error building Player because scripts have compile errors in the editor

[sonic otter]

unfortunately you must be using a different version of the hub

I cannot assist you installing modules on your version of the hub. This is as straight forward as I can make it

[deft yew]

i changed the editor

to a lts one

and i added the sdk and jdk modules

everythings fine except i got that errpr

error

[sonic otter]

I'd try with a blank project first

[hallow turtle]

in here, can i hire someone to make mobile game with Unity for me?

[neon thicket]

Nope, you can use the forums. #📖┃code-of-conduct

[hallow turtle]

oh thanks

[hazy smelt]

Do You have any tutorials for testing and making mobile games?

[violet glade]

Depends what u tryna make

Guys I have a joystick and I script where I can look around with my finger

But the problem is that when I am using the joystick it interferes with the mouselook

[timber slate]

guys anyone have some good tutorial for mobile performance

whatever we do we can't make smooth animations on mobile 😄

that is 30fps as it is per default, if I switch to 60fps on mobile it's very smooth but then again battery suffers

[frozen vapor]

Well you can't get the smoothness of 60FPS at 30FPS. To combat energy use you can also try to reduce the cost of rendering each of those frames. You might need some fancier project setup if you have really specific requirements to avoid things scaling with framerate.

[timber slate]

no specific requirements, it's like popups opening/closing animation

so nothing really "heavy", yet it's not smooth and it's killing me 😄

[frozen vapor]

Are you using dynamic FPS?

[timber slate]

no

damn didn't think about that 😄

[frozen vapor]

These things should be covered in general Unity mobile game optimization material

[glossy sluice]

I'm trying to build an old project with the most recent unity LTS version for android. I'm having two weird issues that the old builds with the old version of unity didnt have. 1- Fps seems capped at 30. This one just changing the targetframerate at runtime seems to fix, but seems like an ugly fix. But in addition to that, the project used to load instantly, now it's taking easily 10+ seconds. And I cant for the life of me figure out what could possibly even be different, anyone has an idea?

[indigo condor]

Is this API dead?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CrashReport.html

Doesn’t seem like it works at all

[arctic reef]

Hi guys, when I build a game to my Android device that is connected with a cable is it normal for the build to stutter a bit or is it the same speed as if you uploaded to the playstore.

[sullen folio]

I don't believe it should be stuttering. AFAIK, it uses the cable to install the app on your device, but then once installation has completed, the app should run normally, as if it was installed via the Play Store.

[arctic reef]

I see, gotta try to optimise it better then 🙂 Possibly raycasting on update is screwing things

[sullen folio]

@arctic reef this free plugin might help you optimize during builds, if you're not using it already: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/graphy-ultimate-fps-counter-stats-monitor-debugger-105778#publisher

[arctic reef]

Never did a game on mobile so yeah

[sullen folio]

Also the Android Logcat package that Unity provides: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mobile.android-logcat@0.1/manual/index.html

Finally, the In Game Debug Console https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/in-game-debug-console-68068#publisher All indispensable IMO when optimizing mobile. Good luck!

[arctic reef]

Thanks, i'll check them out 🙂

Add eventsystem current selected object check to the mouselook

[bitter wasp]

If I increase my version code should reset my bundle version code to 1?

[shadow nova]

Hello,
Can someones that publish on iOS help me ?
I've some sales in "Sales and Trends" tabs but when I go to "Payments and Financial Reports" tabs, it says "There is no data available for April, 2022" but I can see some sales in this period of time in "Sales and Trends".
I know that It can have some difference between "Sales and Trends" and "Payments and Financial Reports" but here I still have no financial report at all. Could you please help me to understand why ? Is there a way to see if refund has been made ?
Regards

[violet glade]

So in the mouselook I shall do
if(EventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject("Fixed_Joystick") = true)
{

}

[rain leaf]

close enough
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.EventSystem-currentSelectedGameObject.html

[violet glade]

does that work?

[rain leaf]

you can always try it I guess, it would be fun to be able to solve the problem with just a slight hint.
||but most likely it wont work 😁 ||
||try if(EventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject == null) instead||

[violet glade]

Oh thx

[cursive roost]

i have a source code that they shared it with me over google drive, i downloaded the project to my windows before and i had no issue, but now when i download it to my mac its a xcode project, very weird

can i open an xcode project in unity ????

[neon thicket]

You don't open xcode projects in Unity, you open it in xcode in order to deploy to iOS.

[hazy smelt]

Any tutorials about Mobile creating?

[marsh helm]

Hey guys whats the maximum poly count in a mobile environment ?

[neon thicket]

That's impossible to say.

Even if you knew all the complexities you were going to add to your game, it would be impossible to guess. You would have to profile.

[sonic otter]

at least 6

[violet glade]

hello, i have a code where when i die a gameover scene shows up. and in this scene i have a play again and main menu button. the main menu button works but when i press play again like after a second it immediately goes back to the gameover screen

[violet glade]

i tried it said it is read only

[violet glade]

i found the solution if anyone wants it

[royal ice]

How do I test my scene in mobile as unity remote not working?

Do I've to build everytime i want test?

[neon thicket]

Yep, make a build

[royal ice]

[proud urchin]

when im testing for memory usage, one render texture takes up like 100 mb when i have 2x anti aliasing on

however it goes away when i turn of anti aliasing completely

but obviously the graphics look awful

how do you guys deal with this issue

i remember reading somewhere that the game shouldnt use more than 180 mb of memory to be able to run on any smart phone

[errant merlin]

every time i build the app, this error appears, i tried every tutorial on youtube and nothing works

[ruby vector]

Hey all, just wondering what the best way it is to check what's bloating the size of an apk build?

[tired lily]

the editor produces a build log that you can look at, and there are tools in the store to make it easier to analyze. You might also consider using something like proguard

[rain leaf]

Did you see the console for details?

[dull prairie]

just install a new version of unity

or external gradle

[worthy pulsar]

im having tons of problems with the simulator and safe area, whats the most recent and best tutorial out there?

all that ives seen are outdated and dont work

all i want to do is cut out the area where the notch / camera area is
