I know this might sound really strange but all of a sudden all physics in all of my projects has stopped working, everything else runs fine, just not the physics, any ideas? Help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What exactly stopped working? Gravity? Collisions? Reactions to forces or collisions?

 –

Try in a downloaded tutorial project. Still broken? Unity install must be screwed - reinstall.

It is all gravity that stopped working, maybe it is unity because it even stopped working on a project that was working on another computer and I transported it over to this one and now it stopped working

I figured it out, somehow my time had been set to 0, no idea how, thanks for the suggestions!

For future reference to all those who have the problem of physics not working, go to Edit->Project Settings->Time set it to 1, Enjoy!

Thanks for this answer, I was going insane. I have no idea how I managed to modify the time scale.

I know its an old answer, but I’ve been struggling with this for two days in a project. You sir are a lifesaver - you’ve saved me much hair.

I believe there is a bug somewhere, I just ran into it too. I wasn't doing anything even remotely related to physics time setting, yet it changed zero all of a sudden.

Another 7 years later, you’ve saved me a days work. Thanks!!!

I just had my collisions stop also. My Fixed Timestep is 0,02, MAx allowed is 0.3333, Time scale is 1, max part ts is 0.03. I did not change that. I had no need to.
