Error Loading Launcher

Unity Engine
1

I got the following error when I tried adding a new script. The script is short and has no errors. What does this error mean?

Error loading launcher://unity/C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Packages/node_modules/unity-editor-home/dist/index.html?code=IsDvNTVTrEWedscWMdJUJg005f&locale=en&session_state=a264b2d976aff23ce08cea374f53fe67be7c137f1906b0d5d103173366655d63.wwoFXAF-qdEJYEoJ7ov2-g00af

Same problem here… Lost a morning of work trying to understand what was happening, uninstalling and re-installing Unity 2 or 3 times to no success.

I’m have the same error on launch, did anyone find a solution? Started after I tried to install Octane but have now uninstalled and am still receiving the error. I’m using Unity 2017.1.0f with a MSoft Surface Pro 4, i7. Tried re-install but still no change.

Also getting this error on a new install of Unity 2017.1.0f3, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Same! warding here. I guess has to do with old files from old versions of unity.

Not entirely sure it is the older files. I’ve tried a new blank project and received the same error. Also tried removing suspect packages and old assets from the full project but all without success. Unity is working otherwise, although it is now struggling to compute Final Gather, which it wasn’t prior to the error.

I’m getting it too, tried it on 3 different PCs using 2017.1 6.2 and 6.0.
Are you all using Using UWP?

Same problem here:

Maybe its the latest windows 10 update?

I hadn’t actually updated Windows for some time and still received the error. I’m updating now to see if that makes any difference.

I tried the 2017.2 beta and still the same problem.

Seems to be a benign error, it appeared when i upgraded from 5.6 to 2017, but doesn’t cause any compilation or build problems.

Anything new about this?

Bump.

The error is because your login hasn’t been validated and there are some purchased assets in your project which require you to login to your account. I had the same error. Check the account tab on the top right corner of your scene and verify whether you are logged in. If you aren’t, you’ll see your user name displayed. Click on it and you’ll be logged in. I was able to remove this error once I logged in from that tab.
Hope this helps.

Same here… macOS with Unity 2017.1.0p2

If I try to login via the Account button the window flashes up for a short moment and the console gives me that error… again and again.

I had a similar issue although it wasn’t stopping me getting into/using Unity, it appeared as an error in red text in the footer/status bar (I’m new to Unity, not sure what that area is called).

In my case I seem to have fixed it by changing the permissions on the c:\users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\ folder in Windows so that ordinary Windows users (not just administrators) have full permission to the folder in Windows (right click folder → properties → edit → add and then add the “Users” group to the permissions and make sure they have full control).

As usual with Windows, your mileage may vary…
