Fatal error with scene in unity

Hello everyone.

I got terrible fatal error in a scene in unity and I don’t even know why.

It was all well and then it just crashed and now just doesn’t open anyway. This is what happened before that:

Yesterday, I was putting some 3D texts in the scene for text blocks (GUI Text doesn’t work as well as I want because it needs to appear on a 3D environment). Everything was ok but in some moments (and don’t know why) the “Text texture” got out of control and didn’t filled the text mesh well and every time I tried to change the text or the material it got freezed and then crashed and even couldn’t open the same scene file if that font was in the Assets folder, so I changed the font (deleting the old one and replacing it with another). It worked perfect.

Today morning I was going continue that work and all was perfect until Unity got freeze editing some 3D texts (as yesterday). I just closed it via Task Manager, re-open the file, edit the text and save (because it was freezing randomly when tried to edit them). But now I’m trying to continue and the scene doesn’t open anyway, it stays in a white screen while loading the file and then just close. I tried deleting every font file in the assets folder but doesn’t work. I need that scene file because It’s for my thesis on university (deadline is next week, tadah! :smile:) and I’m getting crazy If I have to re-do everything… Please, tell if there’s some possible way to not re-doing anything.

This problem is just with that scene because anyother blank one of the same project opens properly with no problem but the most most content is in that one. :frowning:

Thanks for any possible response.

First thing first make a complete backup copy of your project folder before continuing

next go in an delete all folders and files other than Everything inside Project Settings folder and Assets folder then try opening the scene contained in the assets folder your having trouble with unity should rebuild the deleted lib and temp files

Hope this helps

Otherwise your file’s corrupted and there’s nothing much you can do… :frowning:

Ummmmm no… It didn’t work, thanks anyway guys, it’s time to re-do everything. No matter what I delete it never opens again. Anyway, thanks again for your responses :slight_smile:

It’s just your scene. Keep the assets and redo the scene only.

You know, I did it in a new project instead and re-did all the work until the first text line (using 3D text as well) and then Unity crashed and when I tried opening the same scene this is what happen:

Edit: Please, right-click on the pic and click for viewing the full image for reading the text in the log.

For the moment the only possible answers I thought was a 3D text bug and/or a Unity general bug,that’s why I updated from 4.1.2 to 4.1.5 but I do the same that the post above and it’s the same story :frowning: Now I’m gonna try to do it with a new project but started in the new Unity version.

Edit 2: Even another copy of the same scene made before the error has this error, that makes me think that this is not the single scene but the internal files in the project or so.

  1. Attachment doesn’t work.

  2. It could be a “rouge” script/prefab… Or just a unity bug as you said.
