SFCamera prevents Meshes from rendering on device

[Anonymous]

I'm having trouble with Scaleform 4.2 running on iOS devices.  All behaviour is perfectly normal in the Unity editor, but on device after loading a scene all Cameras only seem to render for a single frame and then no longer render at all.

After some investigation I've determined the following:

• everything behaves normally on device when the app first loads into the default scene, with both SWFs and Meshes rendering as normal;

• after calling Application.LoadScene or LoadSceneAsync all meshes render for a single frame before disappearing (this single-frame render happens again every time another scene loads);

• this issue occurs whether any SWFs are loaded or not, pointing to SFCamera as the culprit (and the issue disappears if I disable or destroy the SFCamera script then load a new scene);

• loading a SWF via SFMovie renders that movie normally, even while all meshes in the scene are not rendering;

• I've verified that all Cameras in the scene remain active and enabled, and disabling/reenabling them when loading a new scene doesn't fix the problem;

Any clues as to what is going on?

I've discovered another interesting behaviour related to this issue.

If I stick an OnGUI() on any MonoBehaviour active in the scene, the problem disappears. This code makes me so sad:

void OnGUI()
{
	GUI.Button( new Rect(-100, -100, 0, 0), "");
}

 Problem solved!

I have run into this problem as well.  I also came up with an extremely stupid workaround.  I'd like to know the root cause of this problem too.

Same issue. I usually have an empty GUIText or a transparent GUITexture 😞

+1.. workaround by creating an invisible gui component in an OnGUI() call.
