_Include the following details (edit as applicable):_ - **Issue category** : ARDK Virtual Studio Tools - **Host machine & OS version** : Mac M1 Ventura - **Issue Environment** : Unity Remote / Unity Mock - **Xcode version** : - **ARDK version** : 2.3.1 - **Unity version** : 2021.3.16f1 **Description of the issue:** My Game-View does not work properly. It only works once when I restart Unity, then the Screen turns black. Have no idea why this happens, everything worked fine until now. **Update:** I’ve been testing a bit around and it is really weird. After hitting play for the second time, Mock meshes do work and I also see the game objects + UI. But I cannot move the camera (works in first play) and the environment is gone… [https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/niantic/original/2X/1/1214018bac771515e6d603b3a7df62212a6cc4f2.mov](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/niantic/original/2X/1/1214018bac771515e6d603b3a7df62212a6cc4f2.mov) ---

**Update** I’ve been able to narrow the issue down a bit more. I tried to reimport the Scene Manger of the ARDK but that does not have any effect seemingly. As far as I am concerned there is an issue with the background removal of the AR Camera. Weirdly enough, as soon as I change anything that triggers Unity to reload the assemblies of the scene, suddenly all seems to work fine. However it appears like the camera jumps a few inches forward. Maybe someone has a better solution than constantly changing the script 😃 ?

**Update 2:** I think I found the issue. I was trying to speed up Unity’s performance of reloading script assemblies. In the Unity settings and player settings I changed the options “Script changes while playing” (Unity preferences) and “Enter PlayMode options”. (Player settings) If these are set back to default the error disappears ---
