Broken Game View, only works once when restarting unity

Include the following details (edit as applicable):

  • Issue category: ARDK Virtual Studio Tools
  • Host machine & OS version: Mac M1 Ventura
  • Issue Environment : Unity Remote / Unity Mock
  • Xcode version:
  • ARDK version: 2.3.1
  • Unity version: 2021.3.16f1

Description of the issue:
My Game-View does not work properly. It only works once when I restart Unity, then the Screen turns black. Have no idea why this happens, everything worked fine until now.

Update:
I’ve been testing a bit around and it is really weird. After hitting play for the second time, Mock meshes do work and I also see the game objects + UI. But I cannot move the camera (works in first play) and the environment is gone…

Update
I’ve been able to narrow the issue down a bit more. I tried to reimport the Scene Manger of the ARDK but that does not have any effect seemingly.

As far as I am concerned there is an issue with the background removal of the AR Camera. Weirdly enough, as soon as I change anything that triggers Unity to reload the assemblies of the scene, suddenly all seems to work fine. However it appears like the camera jumps a few inches forward.

Maybe someone has a better solution than constantly changing the script :smiley: ?

Update 2: I think I found the issue.

I was trying to speed up Unity’s performance of reloading script assemblies. In the Unity settings and player settings I changed the options

“Script changes while playing” (Unity preferences)
and “Enter PlayMode options”. (Player settings)

If these are set back to default the error disappears
