Regression

Yes

GameObjects are not updating when Materials and Cubemaps are updated from Environmental Reflections

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached "IN-112669_URP Enviro" Project
2. Open the "Sample_URP" Scene (Assets/Enviro 3 - Sky and Weather/Sample/Scene)
3. Expand the "Enviro_3" GameObject
4. Select the Global Reflection Probe
5. Enter Play mode
6. Observe the Game View and the Inspector

Expected result: GameObjects are updating like the Global Reflection Probe
Actual result: GameObjects are not updating, unlike the Global Reflection Probe

Reproducible with: 2023.1.0a20 (be935afddb32), 6000.0.56f1, 6000.2.2f1, 6000.3.0a6
Not reproducible with: 2023.1.0a19

Reproducible on: Windows 11 Pro (24H2)
Not reproducible on: No other environments tested

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is by design. When using Forward+ in URP, we write reflection probe cubemaps into a global atlas. Whenever a reflection probe cubemap is written to on the GPU, URP needs to be notified, so that it can write the updated data into the atlas. To do this efficiently, the Texture.updateCount mechanism is used. It is up to the user to call Texture.IncrementUpdateCount() after updating a cubemap, as per the documentation: "Note: If you perform an update from the GPU side, you should increment the counter yourself. (For instance, when blitting into a RenderTexture). (see IncrementUpdateCount)."

    Concretely, here's how the issue can be fixed in the attached project: In the EnviroReflectionProbe.cs script, at line 447, add a function call like so:
    `myProbe.customBakedTexture.IncrementUpdateCount();`, right below where `myProbe.customBakedTexture` is assigned.
