Help corrupt Terrain from Git: "Unknown error occurred while loading 'Assets/Terrain/Terrain_0_5.."

Questions & Answers

Hello,

first time seeking support directly. Usually I find my answers online but this seems too specific. I have a Terrain I am working on my Main PC. It’s working and loading fine.
I do update unity and packages regularly (I’m on Unity 2020.1.0 rn) - Terrain Tools 3.0.1 preview from the Package Manager.

One day when commiting me Terrain to my Git and checking the Work on my Laptop, after pulling from git, I got this Error:

"Unknown error occurred while loading 'Assets/Terrain/Terrain_0_0_5f153c60-6e59-434b-af76-bf0d78376183.asset'.
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)"

Basically describing, that my TerrainData is corrupted.

I do still have my work on my main machine but I don’t know how to transfer Terrain Data via git without having this happening.

Help would be apprechiated!

Greetings
Zacharias

I faced same problem.

Replacing in .gitattributes *.asset merge=unityyamlmerge eol=lf with *.asset eol=lf -text fixed it.

Hey @snipeorigin! Just got the same error.
You can try using Git LFS, and tracking the terrain.asset files with it!

Hope you can get it working, regards, Japsu.

Hello! I’m doing a school project and me and my team have the same problem.
We tried this solution, replacing the string in .gitattributes *.asset merge=unityyamlmerge eol=lf with *.asset eol=lf -text but the inssue is not resolved.
