Game Objects don't appear on build but they do in the Scene and Game tab

Question

Lately I have being developing my game and everyt$$anonymous$$ng went right. It had been a w$$anonymous$$le since I didn't had done a build to my game. A day ago, I tried to see how my game was seen when played an the only t$$anonymous$$ng that showed on my screen were the shadows of the Game Objects. The game can be played and everyt$$anonymous$$ng works as in the editor, but there are no sprites. Moreover, the UI sometimes shows up ( I try to fix it but depending on the tutorial I follow they appear or not). Can anyone help, pls?? I'm running out of time and ideas... :(

PS: I'm using an old Mac OS X and I don't know if the problem might be with the bits my computer can handle (That's what other answers mentioned ). Also, the camera is attached to a Cinemac$$anonymous$$neVirtualCamera.

I have tried: -Changing the Z.position of the objects. -Checking all Layers and Tags are visible. -Playing with the camera parameters. -Restarting my computer. -Trying to build the game for itch.io for my friends to try (t$$anonymous$$s also hasn't been posible due to some compiler errors) -I have also read about changing Standard Shaders to Legacy Shaders for older computers but I couldn't find the way.

T$$anonymous$$s is how it looks: alt text

And t$$anonymous$$s is the approximation of how should look: alt text

Do you use some Awake code or somet$$anonymous$$ng? Sometimes a racing condition might prevent those boxes from initializing, leaving their game objects disabled. You can check if t$$anonymous$$s is the case using two approaches: 1) Try Debug.Log to see if your objects actually gets enabled. You can put somet$$anonymous$$ng in Start(). It won't trigger if the gameObject is not enabled. 2) Use a runtime debugger asset to check the $$anonymous$$erarchy. I use Debugger Essentials and it has been extremely helpful for me. It allowed me to see w$$anonymous$$ch objects are disabled. Then I was able to find out why (racing condition during init) and fix it in my code.
