Black Screen, No Map Tiles Loading

MihirBala — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:16:30 GMT

Hello,

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 using Unity to try to run the components tutorial from the website. I have tried everything I can think of, but no map tiles seem to load and when I hit play, the camera screen is black because there is no geometry.

Here is everything I have verified:

- Vulcan graphics installed, working, and selected in Unity

- Valid API key (regenerated one just to make sure)

- All settings and components are identical to the tutorial, as far as I can tell after multiple checks

There are no errors in the console, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong even after some Googling. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @MihirBala , what version of the SDK are you using? v2.2?

Also what if you run the sample scene ComponentLocal.unity that comes with the SDK, does it still show blank?

Hello,

I'm using 2.2. I don't see the samples in my assets, I'm running on Linux and on the Github it says: "Computer running Windows or macOS" for the requirements. When I imported the asset from the store, it did not come with any samples attached. If you could show me how to run a sample scene on Linux, that would be great for debugging because I can't tell if I have just set things up incorrectly or if there is something wrong with my installation.

Thanks!

Hi @MihirBala ,

If you go to the PackageManager and find ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity package, there is a tab called "Samples" where you can import.

Here is the detail instruction link:

https://developers.arcgis.com/unity/install-and-set-up/add-the-plugin-to-an-existing-project/#import-sample-assets

Let me know if you are able to import the sample and run it.
