2d Camera doesn't support Diffuse sprites

[hawken]

The 2d camera is amazingly useful, I use it in all my projects.

I thought I was going mad though, as my sprites weren't displaying any diffuse or bump. (unity sprites)

Particles too.

Then I switched to a normal defult unity camera and everything worked.

Will there be a fix for this? Would be a shame to lose this wonderful camera, tile system and so on, jest because the camera doesn't support lighting.

Its caused by a Unity bug that was broken in Unity 4.0, fixed in 4.2, then regressed again in 4.3. I've filed a bug report but I really have no idea how long it'll be before they fix it (they took close to a year last time!)

Ah, interesting! Will wait to see what happens then, thanks.
