Texture of GUI node invisible in runtime/build, but visible in editor

d954mas · June 21, 2021, 6:53am

Worked on my pc. Windows:)

d954mas · June 21, 2021, 6:54am

maybe something with your pc.
Reboot?
Also try to clear build folder and rebuild.
Is that happened when you do bundle or html build?

Oh my I am on WIndows 10 64bit

Bundled zip is not working on my laptop either:
GUI_repro.zip (2.4 MB)

I will try reboot and clear now.

d954mas · June 21, 2021, 6:56am

bundle also worked

Pawel · June 21, 2021, 7:18am

Restart and clearing didn’t help in both my project and repro

What if you build for HTML5?

Pawel · June 21, 2021, 10:44am

@britzl it is working fine on HTML5, so I guess, issue with my Windows?

britzl · June 21, 2021, 12:45pm

It’s a driver issue or something similar. Which version of Defold are you using?

Pawel · June 21, 2021, 12:55pm

1.2.183

When did it stop working?

What if you use a sprite instead of a gui box node? Same thing?

Pawel · June 21, 2021, 1:48pm

Hmm, can’t say exactly, I noticed it this month, tried to figure out what’s going on on my own for a long before I created the post.

Sprites have no such problem with those atlases.

Could you open up a bundled win32 binary in renderdoc and step through the draw calls? It’s might be a bit tricky to find the exact sprite that’s broken but if you start by getting it up and running in RD we can take it from there

Pawel · June 21, 2021, 4:22pm

I will try to do this tomorrow

Pawel · June 22, 2021, 10:31am

Ok, when launching application in RenderDoc it is… visible. But the same application executed in Windows has the problem. I am confused

I’m not yet familiar with RenderDoc to figure anything out, but here’s the captured frame:

Captured_1.zip (5.8 MB)
(I need to optimise usage of layers here )

If there is anything I can do in RD or so, please let me know

For now, the only workaround I could think of is removing problematic atlases.

When I am using only one atlas in gui, everything works fine.

Pawel · June 24, 2021, 9:28am

Guys, today I noticed this is also happening with sprites… I know I should pack as much as I can in one atlas, but this is not convenient sometimes and is not helping with batch calls regardless, so I think it should work in both runtime and editor build on Windows.

I submitted the issue:

Textures of some atlases are not visible runtime/build on Windows 64, but visible in editor

bug

Related Forum thread with more details and experiments: [https://forum.defold.…com/t/texture-of-gui-node-invisible-in-runtime-build-but-visible-in-editor/68665/21](https://forum.defold.com/t/texture-of-gui-node-invisible-in-runtime-build-but-visible-in-editor/68665/) **Describe the bug (REQUIRED)** Some of the atlases are not visible in Windows builds and bundles, but are visible in HTML5 for example and when launched in RenderDoc (capture attached in forum thread). Sometimes using one atlas helps, sometimes not. Sometimes even creating a new atlas is not helping. On my laptop (DELL Latitude 5510, Intel Core i5-10210U, 16GB RAM, integrated Intel graphics card, Windows 10 x64) some of the sprites/GUI nodes are not visible) **To Reproduce (REQUIRED)** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. On Windows machine create an atlas and us it as a texture in sprite or GUI. It should be visible in Editor 2. Build in Editor or bundle Windows application. 3. See if sprite/GUI node is visible (sadly I see no pattern here, sometimes it is visible, sometimes it is not). Reproduction example for GUI node attached in forum thread. **Expected behavior (REQUIRED)** Sprites and GUI nodes should be visible in Editor build or bundled runtime. **Defold version (REQUIRED):** - 1.2.183 Editor: db55f3faa6347a66d60715dddd9663687d54ceed Engine: f77b7f655a0ba68462f6c33604bed7000018735f **Platforms (REQUIRED):** - Windows 10 64 bit **Minimal repro case project (OPTIONAL):** Reproduction example for GUI node attached in forum thread. **Logs (OPTIONAL):** - **Workaround (OPTIONAL):** Moving images to one atlases helps. **Screenshots (OPTIONAL):** Attached in the forum thread. **Additional context (OPTIONAL):** -

Thank you. We will look into this.

Pawel · June 24, 2021, 3:57pm

Thank you so much!

This is additionally really, really weird:
The sprite (that I noticed is not displayed) is now showing up after I change screen to some other gui!

AGulev · July 25, 2021, 9:02am

Could you pls turn-on this checkbox and show what “INFO:GRAPHICS” logs you have on the machine where you are able to reproduce the issue.

AGulev · July 25, 2021, 12:52pm

Pls check this recommendation as well Engine building error?(SOLVED!) - #29 by AGulev
