Whole scene becomes white and bloomed

[rain slate]

VIdeo Showing it

The video is not loading
Even if it was you'd want to include a written description including some relevant backround information / context

[rain slate]

Fair thank you for the catch, the issue is that on the unity editor only, i get random patches and sparkles around my scene that get insanely bright and bloomy, and sometimes the whole scene starts to bloom, it happens in any scene, the funny thing is it happens exclusevily on the editor, in the build it is completely fine, i had this before and was able to fix it, but recently i wiped windows and messed up my repo a bit whatever i changed was lost

[faint sand]

Could be shaders, lighting or post processing
They are all intertwined anyhow
Post processing is likely what was meant by the "goofy ass settings" which you didn't show in the video I think

[rain slate]

the global volume

but like if it was shaders it would happen on build no?

[faint sand]

High color values cause Bloom to bloom out of control and stop you from seeing much
Exposure or in URP's case post-exposure can also make everything uniformly bright

Disabling bloom or post processing altogether could show you more clearly what's occurring, or possibly stop the issue

[faint sand]

Technically possible that some script is overriding those values for whatever reason

[rain slate]

if i remember correctly it was something to do with the universal render pipeline settings

[faint sand]

However there are clues that the brightness doesn't occur uniformly if you look frame by frame

[rain slate]

what would i look for here?

like in the project/code

[faint sand]

I'd disable post processing on the camera and see how it occurs again

Also place some URP Lit material objects for comparison if you're using custom shaders

Sometimes custom shaders produce NaN values due to errors and blow out the bloom

[rain slate]

walls are normal lit

player and weapns are all normal lit

[faint sand]

Normal? Meaning URP Lit?

[rain slate]

yee srry

[faint sand]

Baked lighting is sometimes known to do it as well, though it should look different than that

[rain slate]

ahhhh

[faint sand]

Cameras also have a "stop NaN" setting iirc which should rule that out

[rain slate]

you know important info, disabling this solved it

but i think i wanna use it

[faint sand]

There may be interal issues / corruptions in the URP Asset or Renderer Asset, which I think can only be fixed by creating new ones from scratch

Even if identical otherwise

If it's not just a glitch from the render pipeline assets, we can assume it's the Realtime GI

[rain slate]

damnn, they're old, i will try that, so this is more of an obscure thing right

imma drop solution if i find one

[rain slate]

yeah the whole of the realtime lightmap becomes white

[faint sand]

Since we know that's involved, I'd try to repro in a new test scene that's simpler

To hopefully find something specific that's breaking it, by process of elimination

[rain slate]

fair fair, this one is my test scene map thingy, imma load it in and delete stuff until i find what causes it

if nothing solves make new urp assets

right?

[faint sand]

I'd try that first since it's not too much effort

And may save you from chasing phantoms

[rain slate]

thank you mate! hopefully it solves it

[rain slate]

it has to do with the urp settings thingy switching qualities fixes it
