Directional light causes all objects in the scene to be black

[MooKorea]

I upgraded my Unity project to version to 2022.3.8 LTS to support this feature, however it does not appear to work as intended. With one directional light as well as the render feature enabled, all of the objects in the scene render as solid black.

To Reproduce

1. Create a new 2022.3.8 Unity project with URP installed
2. Add the URPVolumetricLighting package and enable the render feature
3. Add any 3D object to the scene, they should render as black with all of the default URP settings

• OS: Windows 10
• GPU: GTX 1080ti
• URP version: 14.0.8

Note: All of the other light sources appear to work fine, but when the directional light is enabled the problem occurs.

How are you "enabling the render feature" btw?

Can confirm this as well, I get this error when I enable the renderer feature in Universal Render Data settings.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Voxell.VolumetricLighting.VolumetricLightScatteringPass..ctor (UnityEngine.Material occludersMaterial, UnityEngine.Material radialBlurMaterial, Voxell.VolumetricLighting.VolumetricLightScattering+Settings settings) (at ./Library/PackageCache/voxell.urp.volumetriclighting@f85d80ad44/Runtime/VolumetricLightScattering/VolumetricLightScatteringPass.cs:38)

The error is in this line 38 of VolumetricLightScatteringPass.cs, idk seems like RTHandles default instance is null?

      this._occluderTarget = RTHandles.Alloc(
        Mathf.Max(1, (int)(Screen.width*_settings.resolutionScale)),
        Mathf.Max(1, (int)(Screen.height*_settings.resolutionScale)),
        depthBufferBits: DepthBits.None
      );
