Hello everyone,

I was using Unity 5.0.1 until now and everything worked fine.
Then i was prompted that there was newwer version available, 5.1, which i then downloaded.
After installing and opening my project, i was prompted thet i need to convert my project for the new version. Which I did. After it was finished, my project opened up. But then i got 999+ error messages…
Looking trough my Project FOlder INSIDE unity, i see that most of my c# scripts are missing!!
Looking at the same folder in Windows Explorer, all scripts are right were they should be…
What happened here ??
I already reinstalled and unistalled etc…

My suggestion would be:

  • Create a backup of what you have now
  • Delete the Library and Temp folder inside the project and relaunch. This should attempt to rebuild the package
  • If that fails, create a new package. Close it. copy your ProjectSettings folder and Asset folder over the new ones.

The conversion process moves in layers and takes a while. But sometimes I’ve seen it go sideways and break stuff.
