Labels are invisible on Mac Standalone

[zippo227]

I have been building a log in scene with NGUI 2.6.3 and testing it mostly on my Windows machine, with infrequent testing on Mac. When I run the scene in my Mac Unity editor (I'm on Unity 4.2), it appears to be working correctly. I can see the labels just fine. However, when I build the game to standalone, the labels are no longer visible, but I can still see the main header label.

I did some testing where I put an arbitrary string in the (standalone-invisible) label, it was visible then on both Editor and Standalone. So, that let me know that it didn't have anything to do with the resolution of the window. But, when I try to fill them in on my own in script, they aren't visible in the standalone. Am I missing anything, or the dll doesn't work for Mac or something?

First of all, update to the latest version of NGUI. I can only support the latest version due to bug fixes.

Second, I'm guessing your labels use a different atlas than your widgets, so consult the FAQ. There are two sticky posts on this issue.

I upgraded to 2.64 and am using the same atlas. I guess it must be some very odd bug with my program instead of NGUI.

Interesting, I'm having exactly this issue on the PC version. If I run the game in the Unity editor, it's fine. If I make a standalone build, the GUI disappears. I'm at a loss as how to proceed, as there's no error messages or similar in the log :/

Which version of NGUI?

This turned out to be the camera deciding to be Deferred Rendered, not Forward; this is a known issue in Unity, it seems!
