When loading an asset bundle that contains a SpriteRenderer, the sorting layer for the sprite renderer gets reset to default

Feb 12, 2014

To reproduce:
1. Open attach project
2. Open Test scene
3. Enter play mode
Expected result: The prefab is instantiated and looks same way as the one already in the scene
Actual result: The prefab's sprite renderers lose their sorting layer, so they look different

I´m using Unity 5.1.2p1 and have the same problem. I set the Sorting Layers on Tags & Layers but the SpriteRenderer do not recognize them.

Here is the temp solution for this issue:

I have simply attached a script with all the game objects that have Sprite renderer attached with them, the script will simply take a public string which will contain the name of sorting layer and will assign it to the renderer in Awake(). Here is the code and it works well for me after downloading assets from bundle.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SOA_ChangeSortingLayer : MonoBehaviour {

public string sortingLayerName;
// Use this for initialization
void Awake () {

SpriteRenderer myRenderer = this.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
if(myRenderer != null)
myRenderer.sortingLayerName = sortingLayerName;

}
}

Is this issue fixed in 4.3.4 release? If not, can you suggest some alternative solution for this problem?
