Grey Scene Problem

Graphics card issues on some PCs when using Unity 5

Unity 5 has an issue with some computer graphics cards that will make the game scene go blank when you're testing in Unity. For example, the Macbook 2010 Nvidia GT350M. (See the below preview image)

Does your Unity game scene turn grey randomly?

The following screenshot is a demonstration of what you see. Although the developer would still hear the game sounds, playing the game scene becomes impossible as everything turns grey due to a graphics card error with Unity.
