Unity 5.2.3f1

So, when I make a save, Unity is saving the scene with the black and white logo. It's just any scene outside of Unity seems to be the generic folder. However, so far it's still working correctly..

Ok So Unity support say's they do NOT support any version earlier than 5.5. So what the hell are we doing using this outdated version. Come on PG let's get something going here. I don't know about anyone else but I don't know why in this day and age, we are so far behind the 8ball?

So I will mark this topic sovled. The answer is, UPDATE Unity PG!! It's like the freeway system here in CA. by the time they make new lanes, there already over crowed again!

Um, dude.  You can't just flip a switch and start using a new version.  It's not like just downloading an update for Windows.  PP is currently working with Unity 2017.  I hope that helps.

No kidding dude. I'm just saying, if Unity is only supporting back to ver. 5.5. Why would that be the version we are updating to. Dude..

Regarding Unity no longer supporting anything before 5.5: In the last month I have been experiencing issues with opening Unity to work on projects. When I attempt to open Unity I get the blue rectangular Unity window followed by a very long delay, then it begins to reload assets...followed by a dialogue box indicating requests to load default layout formats or quit or retry. Any selection results in a crash to the Unity Bug reporting window. The box suggests that this may occur with compile errors.

Trying to open Unity again results in the project opening up with a missing terrain. The terrain file appears to be there, dragging it into the scene does nothing. The terrain is essentially gone or at least I haven't been able to restore the terrain. This has happened three times in the last month at various stages of project completion. Tried deleting and downloading 5.2.3fl without change, still happening. Totally unpredictable. First time with 18 holes done, next project, five playable holes, this last time, just one.

The reply I received from Unity after completing the Debug report and submitting the files was simple: this version of Unity is no longer supported.

I am at work right now and can provide screen shots of what is happening; this post may not be on topic, but perhaps it is a similar issue.

Frustrated

Go ahead and post up. Someone will help I'm sure. The good thing is, now I understand PG IS updating to 2017 version of Unity and CF, so I'm sure these hiccups and sometimes all out destruction of a project, without really knowing what we did wrong, will hopefully be a thing of the past. Oh and not to mention, we will be able to get support if needed, with the Update..

So, it crashes if you open a new blank Unity project?

Not if I create a new project. Always after working on it, saving the scene...then randomly crashes as above when trying to open it...either later that night or the next day. 

What is in the Gizmos folder?

The Generic Terrain Brushes (Flaming Sands) free asset from the asset store.

MMk.  I'll have to get with Mike on this.  I'm not a Unity guru by any means.

Also, in the future, when you have a problem like this, it would be best if you created your own thread.  We've kinda stamped all over Axe's here. 

Thanks.

All good guys. Of course you will probably get  more eyes on your specific issue if you have your own thread.  It also will make things less confusing as this thread is marked "Solved".. 

Peace

Apologies Axe...will do.

No No No!! No apologies SReesor. In fact I told you to post up. But to get more eyes on Your issue, just start a new thread in the CF category. 

Peace

SReesor, is your terrain in the Assets folder for your new project?  Open the scene from the old project, save as for the new project.  Then can you import new terrain?

You have a bunch of third party assets in there which may or may not be causing your issues. Copy your project folder completely and delete all those and see if that makes a difference. The issue is not with Unity or 5.2.3f1 as we use them daily to make our courses from the game and broadcast TV.
