Everything is gone in hierarchy

Unity Engine
1

Hi

when i started my computer this morning i found out that unity had not saved my *.unity file. But I can remember that I was asked by unity if i wanted to save the file before i closed the program - and I saved it.

But now when I open the file nothing besides the main camera is in the scene (hierarchy view is complete empty). Everything is still in the projekt view though (terrain, model, textures etc.).

No matter what i do, and how many times i restart nothing is displayed in the scene - not even the old stuff that I did before this happened. I have also tried the project on a different computer, but with similar results.

I can see now that I should have saved in several versions and backed up my files before shut down.

I am working in unity 2.5 on windows vista.

I am really hoping that someone has a solution for this.

When it asks you to save for the first time, it saves it as a new scene. Sometimes when you open up the project that scene is not loaded, but a “new” scene, which only has the camera.

In your project folder should be the scene which you saved previously. Double click on that saved scene to load it. Also, ensure that when you save a scene, you save it in your Asset folder. If you save it out of the asset folder, then you won’t see it in the Project tab in Unity.

unfortunately I already tried this after reading some of the topics in here concerning similar problems. The unity scene is placed in the assets dir.
