I’m trying to open an asset in the Unity Editor from within my Firefox browser. When I click on Open in Unity from the Asset Store, a prompt opens and asks me what I want to use to open the link with. I click on the Unity Editor and nothing happens. Presumably I have pointed to the wrong Unity Editor. I had originally installed Unity before Unity Hub was a thing, and have since downloaded Unity Hub and several different Unity versions.
Could someone please tell me what I should now be opening the Unity links with so that they will correctly open in the editor?
The links do download if I open them directly from within Unity’s Asset Store tab, so the issue is just that I’ve pointed to the wrong instance of the Unity Editor to open the link. Presumably there’s something I can point to that will open in the editor regardless of which version of Unity I am currently using from the Hub. Thanks.
Dead ass this happened to me just now. I tried to open an asset from an MSN browser. When I clicked on the link to “Open In Unity” from the Asset Store, nothing happens. How do I access my stuff; is it possible still from the browser or import it onto the program itself.
Forgive the vernacular. I’m also really stoned right now…
Recently this has been happening to me too, and I don’t know why.
To solve the problem, I’m pre-opening the package manager and keeping its window open while I go to the asset store and add the package to the project … (That way he already adds the asset to the package manager)
tested it on chrome and opera, this problem occurs in both, it seems to be some bug that prevents the browser from specifically opening the package manager inside editor
For new users…
If you have just installed Unity and purchased some assets and wanna start…
Make sure you do 2 things.
Sign the Unity terms and have the Package Manager open with “My Assets”.
It just happened to me!
Yea as Mzone3D said. Click the tab at the top of package manager that says “packages: this project” and just change it to my assets. Will just need to refresh.
I uninstalled an older version of Unity, running the newest version (2021.2.9f1) and now “Open in Unity” is broken for me too in my browser. Not entirely sure if it’s Unity’s fault or Windows, but it sure does suck!
Lots of time wasted, much thanks.
=Update=
After much digging I found a solution, you have to patch the (Windows) registry:
It’s entirely inappropriate that there are showstopper bugs in the Unity dev platform, and the company won’t take any responsibility. We need to join together in publicly shaming them. Shame seems to be the only thing that works in the 21st Century; self-respect and ethics have died and gone to hell.
