    Good vibes. Besides performance drops I will add #754512, #753677 and #753522 to the mix.

    We have experienced tons of Android crashes on 5.3.

    Here are some affected issues:
    1 - Stencil + Rendertexture goes haywire with terrible glitches on almost all Android devices. Here's an example where it appears a corrupt part of the memory is being access (wrong pointer address?) and also notice the repetition of the glitch as if the size of the data was not correctly set:


    2 - On some devices we get crazy repetition of (adb logcat)
    "Inflate Error: <unknown> (file zip crc32 : 65c7bab3) (result: fffffffe) "
    and crashes eventually (they run out of memory).



    The errors and crashes are not easily isolated on our projects so uploading a project may not immediately help.

    All this and I gotta say by simply changing the cloud unity version to 5.2.3p3 all problems will be gone.

    I'm happy to see Unity's people answer and work on detected bugs.
    Is there any news on 753423 ? I'm pushing on this because I think that it's a huge bug on UI. It MAY be the same of Jack_AG and almost for sure Aram Azhari.
    As a reminder:
    All 2D/UI objects of the scene flicker like crazy whenever any operation is done on size or content of an UI object, for example moving a window or rotating among multiple sprites. This happens very little on the Editor and always on Android, making the screen a total mess, unless UI elements are kept perfectly static.
    I could not reproduce it on a new project, please contact me if you need more info.

    The bug report is still waiting on QA to verify it, I have asked them to take a look. There are Android issues currently being looked at, its possible they are related.

    .. so was having trouble with dropdown menu not working after the first time, thought it was some 5.3 bug (didn't use drop menu's in earlier releases) so figured must have been another bug the 'pro' beta testers missed... quick search on the issue and I'm on this page... http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/12/01/custom-coroutines/

    eerm I dunno whats going on at unity, but you are making blog posts about fixing stuff, then 5.3 is released like over a week later.. and it still has the same bug.

    using timescale of 0 the dropmenu only works once.. setting timescale on pause to something like 0.1f and and the dropmenu will work again after a little time..0.5f and its working a bit more snappier.. but completely pointless to use in a pause menu.

    The fix is in the first patch out this week. We could not get it into 5.3 in time as we had to make some small changes. The blog was written whilst the fix was ongoing, it had not gone into 5.3 at the time of writing.

    While updating to a newer version, or at least a patch version - do we have to download and reinstall every part of the engine(android, windows, webgl support etc) or just the engine itself in the installer?

    You will need to download every part as fixes are not just in one area.

    It does work but we delay it on purpose in case something terrible happens on release.

    I just installed Unity5 reluctantly since Unity4 is now end of life.
    I tested some build and I still see the old splash screen,altough rendered much worse, on Android(still need to test IOS).
    Are the mobile builds planned to move to the "personal branding" or they will stay like this?If so when?
    Or it is a bug?

    Good, at least for a while I'll be safe. In the meantime could you guys change the colors of the gradient to end with a pure black so that it won't seem a floating sticker? It take like 5 seconds to change it and I saw it reported long ago.

    I'm not sure I understand. The background gradient?
    This is what the new one looks like http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/wh...o-is-bigger-than-unity-4.358863/#post-2329008

    Can you file a bug report with the project(or a cutdown version) so we can take a look?

    No collision inside my particles unfortunately....
    Anyway, this is not a blocking problem, so I'll explore it later, after all the blocking bugs that I'm fighting against...

    Just import Unity's Standard Assets into a New Project, and run the "Particles" scene.

    Click to create explosion, Errors start...def particle related.

    I understand, I was asking if the black outside of the logo in the meantime, until you don't change it, could fade to pure black so that you don't notice where it ends and where the background begin. It's a 1' fix.

    Hey, I'm not sure why that particle bug got closed as By Design. It's obviously not ok to spam the error console with this strange error message, so we will reopen the bug and look into it! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

    On the plus side, I have seen it a few times before and it's always turned out to be harmless, so it shouldn't break anything.. I hope :)

    Some issues I found.
    -With Xcode 7.2 it doesn't open the project when you build and run.
    -There is something wrong on IOS with either mecanim or the transform matrix itself on IOS. I have an animated character staying in place on a moving gameobject and it slowly lose its position(doesn't follow the parent gameobject).
    Same as described here:
    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/bu...-are-messed-up-when-run-on-ios-device.374493/
    The same code on the editor run fine.

    Out of curiosity, is there a workaround for the particle systems log spam in 5.3.1?

    We are going to revert back to 5.3 as this is causing our game to run extremely slowly and hides all other errors we might have in our game.

    Noticed vsync seems to chew up more cpu on 5.3 and 5.3.1 .. like 5ms extra every frame (on highest quality defaults ie vysnc count =every vblank) Compared to 5.2.2 the same scene on same quality settings vsync only like 0.4ms

    They've always done it this way. If you want the update today, just go to the page and download it. Clicking on the link from the editor just opens the download page in a browser window anyway.

    Please, @superpig, leave the particles problem as looks secondary. We still have totally messed up 2D graphics on Android....
