Vulkan rendering fails after a few seconds in our game on this version, while the game still runs,
Version 50.0.0.147.257.444962360
Runtime Version 50.0.0.147.257.444962109
OS version user-50163300158200150
Untiy 2020.3.41f
Vulkan backend, Application Spacewarp is enabled so URP
Game keeps running as i can hear the UI buttons when i aim the contollers etc. even click on the buttons and create a lobby. but only last frame is visible (until pressin on power off/on or going outside of guardian then screen is only black)
No visible exception or null references except this starting from this warninglog

PS; send in bug reports link doesn't work
sa_murat did you find a fix or cause for this? We've just hit the exact same issue this week.
Quest 2, Vulkan, URP and the Unity 2021.3.x LTS.
We've spent 3 days trying to track down the cause but failed. Smaller scenes do run - including stripped down versions of our production levels - but we just can't zero in on what is actually causing the problem.
The fix from benderlucas below works but switching to GLES is hardly a longterm solution.
Any pointers would be hugely appreciated!
