Failed to resolve project template: Failed to decompress (774245)

Unity Engine

I recently added 2019.3.0f6 to my installs, but today I can’t seem to start a new Unity project. I keep getting an error:
Failed to resolve project template: Failed to decompress [C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0f6\Editor\Data\Resources\PackageManager\ProjectTemplates\com.unity.template.2d-3.2.5.tgz].

I get the same error if I try to open a new project in 2019.2.19f1 (except a slightly different file path).

What’s going on?

For those that find this thread later, the problem seems to be file path length. I tried editing the registry to permit long path names AND reinstalled both the Unity Hub and Unity 2019.3, but still got the same error. I removed ~20 characters from the path to the project folder, and it loaded just fine.

@RoughDiamond , I had the same issue with 2019.2.17f1, and I have removed all blank spaces characters , and replace them by underscores _, but the path was still to long (147 characters including project name). So, I tried it with a shorter path for my project, removing blank spaces, and it worked. (eg : c:\Users\Cheyenne\Domuments\MyProject).
Many thanks to the Unity community and to @RoughDiamond .

Uh it does not work with 2020 either so the servers may be down of some shit?

may antivirus program causes.
I had same issue on Win10 and unityHub 2.4.0
after defining exception or disable/uninstall related antivirus it works.

Same situation. Got resolved by choosing a SHORTER name.

I’ve got this too. I can open previous projects, but can’t make any new ones. It’s really frustrating as I need a new test project to build a new inventory.

I feel ya. For some reason it just stopped happening to me. It may have been a restart. It may have been anything.

Incredibly frustrating. I have done everything I can to redirect Unity’s file location for templates but it simply puts them back in the Roaming folder. Been struggling for 3 days now with this fix, endless forums and google searches.

At this point I am simply going to abandon Unity and move to something else, I WANT TO CREATE! Not struggle with file errors.
