UI disappear on WP8

[sigmadruid]

Hi everyone,

Our unity game's UI is implemented with NGUI. When we are publishing to WP8 platform, some UIs get disappear now and then. It seems unity can't load the atlas files, for we simulate this situation in editor by remove some atlas file which result in the same situation. On other platform (iOS and Android) every UI is OK.

I have to say this is a hard problem for which our engineers have worked for long time.

Unity Version 4.3.3
NGUI Version 2.6

Any help or hint is appreciated.

NGUI 2 doesn't support WP8.

I know our NGUI version is out of time, but it is almost impossible to update it for our game, for many APIs have changed.

I understand, but I hope you also understand that it's not feasible for me to dig up a version from a year ago to investigate some issue for a platform that was not added until half a year later. Unfortunately I can only support the latest version.

P.S. I would suggest going up to 2.7.0 at least.

Thank you for your advice after all....

I have had this problem when publishing game to wp8. My font got disappeared. The reason is dynamic fonts don't work on wp8. I changed my font to bitmap and it worked fine. May be that's your problem.

Dynamic fonts don't work on WP8? That's actually news to me. Is this a Unity limitation? Can anyone else confirm this? If that's the case then I should disable the ability to use them when WP8 is targeted.

In my case dynamic font works on WP8 for English latter and numbers. Not for Chinese characters. Even if I'm using a Chinese font.

Sounds like yet another issue with the abandoned half-broken dynamic font implementation that Unity graced us with.
