 - Fixed the fade in mode of the clouds not impacting the volumetric clouds shadows (case 1381652).
 - Fixed the rt screen space shadows not using the correct asset for allocating the history buffers.
 - Fixed the intensity of the sky being reduced signficantly even if there is no clouds (case 1388279).
+- Fixed a crash with render graph viewer when render graph is not provided with an execution name.
 
 ### Changed
 - Converted most TGA textures files to TIF to reduce the size of HDRP material samples.
