whenever I try to package the game for android I get the following error: > UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC1)): LogMaterial: Warning: E:\UE4Projects\Coala\coalaunrealplugin\BlankProject\Content\Example\POIs\poiDynamic\1\_PostProcess\_mat.uasset: Failed to compile Material for platform SF\_VULKAN\_ES31\_ANDROID\_NOUB, Default Material will be used in game. > UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC1)): LogMaterial: Display: Missing cached shader map for material 1\_PostProcess\_mat, compiling. > UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC1)): LogMaterial: Warning: E:\UE4Projects\Coala\coalaunrealplugin\BlankProject\Content\Example\POIs\poiDynamic\1\_PostProcess\_mat.uasset: Failed to compile Material for platform GLSL\_ES2, Default Material will be used in game. > UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC1)): LogMaterial: Display: Missing cached shader map for material 1\_PostProcess\_mat, compiling. > UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC1)): LogMaterial: Warning: E:\UE4Projects\Coala\coalaunrealplugin\BlankProject\Content\Example\POIs\poiDynamic\1\_PostProcess\_mat.uasset: Failed to compile Material for platform GLSL\_ES3\_1\_ANDROID, Default Material will be used in game. The material in question uses custom and scene depth. Might it be that the rendering options OpenGL ES2, OpenGL ES3.1, and Vulkan don’t support that or am I missing some checkmark in the Project Settings? I have not found anything that would indicate, that it’s suported or not.Especially since here it says, that it is supported.

Anyone who should come across this, the solution is very simple. In the post process material select “Before Tonemapping” that fixed it for me 280217- ---

it was grayed out on my screen as well. i changed ‘material domain’ from ‘surface’ to ‘post process’ and then was able to change ‘blendable location’ under ‘post process material’ to ‘before tonemapping’. is there a better way to do this? it solved the ‘failed to compile material for platform error’, but cause my standard iclone character’s face & body skin to become all gray when packaged to quest 2. ---

I’m having this same issue, did you happen to figure out a good way to fix it?
