UUM-69548

Regression

Yes

“Unable to fall back to CPU lightmapper.” errors in the Console when opening a project on a Virtual Machine

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Setup an Apple Silicon VM environment and open it
2. Create a new project from a template
3. Observe the Console window

Expected result: A project is created without errors
Actual result: “Failed to find a suitable OpenCL device, baking cannot use GPU lightmapper.” and “Unable to fall back to CPU lightmapper.” errors in the console

Reproducible with: 2021.3.37f1, 2022.3.18f1, 2022.3.23f1
Not reproducible with: 2022.3.17f1, 2023.1.0a10, 2023.2.17f1, 6000.0.0b15
Couldn’t test with: 2023.1.0a1 - 2023.1.0a9 (see internal notes)

Reproducible on: macOS 14.4 (M2 Pro (Virtual))
Not reproducible on: macOS 14.4.1 (M1 Max)

Note: Reproduces with built-in, URP and HDRP render pipelines

  1. Resolution Note:

    Auto mode baking initialize the baking backend + even if there are no lightmaps. It is complicated and risky to change this code. A workaround is to not use auto mode or not use Apple VMs with paravirtual GPUs. Bare metal macs work fine.

    Given the risk to introduce regressions when changing this code, we are closing this bug again.
