How it is like before pressing play (the play arrow):

As you can see, all of Unity is visible.

Now after I press play:

Everything except the Scene view and Game view go black. This happens for all projects (in this one the game is purposefully black-backgrounded), and makes work quite frustrating.

Any help would be appreciated! :slight_smile:

P.S. this thread seems to have a comment which has the problem like mine. The thread itself isn’t about my problem, so it doesn’t help in any way.

EDIT

5 minutes after I posted this, I started up the same project, and now even the Scene View screen is blacked out upon pressing play…

The black editor might be a result of your playmode tint color being full black. You know that when you hit play everything but the game and scene view gets tinted, so you know that you’re in play mode. Go to Preferences > Color and check the tint color :wink:
