Compatibility

Platforms

Nova is supported on all platforms! However, Nova requires GPU instancing and shader feature set 3.5, so it may not be supported on certain, older hardware and older versions of OpenGL (e.g. OpenGL 2, OpenGL ES 2).

Render Pipelines

Nova supports the built-in render pipeline, URP, and HDRP, with the exception of lighting which is only supported for the built-in render pipeline.

Canvas and RectTransforms

Nova does not use the canvas system or RectTransforms. The one exception is TextBlocks, which have RectTransforms as TextMeshPro requires them, although the configuration of the RectTransform is controlled by Nova and should not be modified.

Warning

RectTransforms should not be added to UIBlocks.

Custom Transparency Sort Axis

Custom transparency sort axes are currently not supported.

Known Issues

• When a domain reload is triggered while playing in the editor, Unity sometimes logs a warning of The referenced script (Unknown) on this Behaviour is missing!.
• When importing a prefab with an ItemView component into an existing project, Unity sometimes logs a warning Missing types referenced from component ItemView on game object or an error Unknown managed type referenced indicating the ItemVisuals type referenced by the prefab is missing/unknown.
  • If the ItemVisuals type mentioned in the warning/error message is in fact defined in the project or being imported at the same time as the prefab, the refences should still be in tact, and the warning/error can be ignored.
  • If the ItemVisuals type mentioned in the warning/error message is imported after the prefab is imported, the prefab may need to be reimported to behave correctly.
