Crunched Asset Bundle sprites are too bright when loaded from file in Play mode

Jun 02, 2022

How to reproduce:
1. Open the user's attached project "Bright-Sprite.zip"
2. Open the "SampleScene" scene
3. Enter Play mode or Build and Run

Expected result: Left Crunched image is displayed with set color scheme
Actual result: Left Crunched image is displayed as if its sRGB was turned off

Reproducible with: 2022.1.0a14, 2022.1.0f1, 2022.2.0a13
Not reproducible with: 2019.4.39f1, 2020.3.34f1, 2022.1.0a13

Reproduced on: macOS (Intel) Monterey 12.3.1

Note: Left image is not Crunched as it does not have its height/width size as a multiple of 4

It says fixed on 2023.1.0a3 but that is not even released yet. We would really like to use a Unity version with this bug fixed.

This is a very severe issue because it impacts all textures that get crunched when building. No matter what game or project you are doing, this causes the textures to appear bright.

I hope this will be prioritized so that developers can use the 2022 version of Unity. This bug is the only thing stopping us from updating to the latest Unity.
