Is the new Mono really buggy? Or is it me?

Unity Engine

I’ve been using Unity for a while, although I’m not that advanced, but the version of Unity that comes with 4.3 has really been giving me problems.

Problems such as - no intellisense/code completion when it should do, slow or unpredictable speed hangs, plus it crashes ALL the time!

Is anyone else having these problems? Or is it just me, and what might ACTUALLY be the problem?

I have encountered a bunch of bugs with Mono but only on my Win 8 machine. My Win 7 machine runs it with no problems. Copy and paste gets screwed up and it pastes gibberish and not what is on the clipboard - I tested this by pasting it into a note pad document and it pasted what it was supposed to do. Sometimes I need to manually refresh in Unity to register recent changes made in Mono. Occasionally, it just refuses to open at all when I attempt to edit a script. I know I’ve encountered other minor nuisances but those are the ones that reoccur fairly regularly.

Okay, I just wanted to see if it was just me! I like VS and all, but I understand that I can’t use it for debugging unless I buy UnityVS.

Mono just seems so awful now, I preferred the old one - I never had any problems with that!

Delete sln and csproj files, change that config option from ‘Custom’ to ‘Mono’ or ‘Microsoft Visual Studio’; then sync monoDevelop project in Unity.
Will be easier to work with MonoDevelop that way. But the bad performance that some users have I don’t have, so can’t help with that…

Thanks Bruno. How will that make working with Mono easier?

I hate to be pedantic, but I feel like this needs to be said.

Mono and MonoDevelop are not the same thing.

What everyone is talking about in this thread is MonoDevelop.

Mono itself is the underlying framework/common language runtime that Unity runs under. See Mono (software) - Wikipedia

MonoDevelop is an IDE/Text editor that comes standard with Unity used for writing code.

Nope, you’re right - it’s not pedantic!

I DID mean MonoDevelop.

First post’s title is edited, not sure if this will show up in the thread list in the forum though.

Thank you for the correction.
