Known issues

About installing / upgrading

The project was written in Unity 2019.3. This implies that, when loading it up with more recent versions of Unity, you'll need to auto-upgrade the project. This usually goes without a hitch, but there is for now 1 bug that has been spotted by the followers and I:

• FOV shader bug (thanks to @Oarcinae): upgrading to Unity 2019.4 might lead to unexpected behaviour for the FOV shader (because of pipeline render defaults changes); to fix the issue, you can try modifying the AlphaProjection.shader and comment out the line: #pragma exclude_renderers d3d11 gles (still an open issue #2, any help is welcome 🙂)
