Text bug on specific text, with Unity3D, on specific device (Android Samsung S4 Mini)
We're hitting a wall at the moment, trying to get a full release of our game and one of the things that's catching us just at the minute is a weird issue where we see blocks instead of text on an area,
What it's supposed to look like, "YOU" "RIVAL",
We're only experiencing it after on second entrance to the scene shown, but I have seen the issue occur before, on another app, Reddit is Fun (Android only),
No idea what's happening, doesn't happen on other devices, OSs, or in the Editor and nothing's showing up in the logs, but without being able to pinpoint it, it's a bit of a blocker to us releasing.
Yeah, so this is a weird one. The text goes all wrong if the z scale of the text ever gets set to 0, and changed from that point.
This text was animated, just scaled down to invisible after the first entrance to the scene, so if we restarted the race, the text had been scaled back to it's normal size, but because it had been 0, it was obviously wrong.
So, two ways to get around it, first choose not exactly 0, choose 0.001 or something, and then hide it prevents this from happening, or because it's a 2D object, you can choose to just scale down the x and y scale, but not the z.
