    @Radivarig, Thanks, this worked for me. I was deactivating one by one until I found the problem. It was in the shader of a portal that was not adapted for URP.

    You can deduce the source like this:
    - have the scene/game tab open and ensure that the error keeps being thrown when clicking in anywhere in the hierarchy
    - don't rotate/move the camera or the object with the shader will be out of viewport and not render
    - disable all gameobjects
    - optionally clear the console
    - start enabling gameobjects, when the error appears it will be on the last enabled gameobject which is the parent of where the shader is attached.
