Did you reboot 3 times?

Ok. In all seriousness, this could be caused by a hundred different things (a hundred and one even).

  • What kind of video card do you have?
  • Are you able to run any games made with Unity?
  • Do you have the minimum specs required by Unity to use it in the first place?
  • You said “on the project page is just a gray screen.” What does that mean? Give some more details about what’s happening when you launch Unity.

See if you can update your graphics drivers.

Paint it blue.

Then you’ll be right on your way to making an MMO.

Even though I snort laughed at the replies, turn down the troll please.

@NoobIsanoob Please structure and title your post with much clearer information, I have edited your post title to reflect your issue, screaming I NEED HELP, is not useful to anyone. Also post in the correct section, General Discussion is not a place for technical issues and will result in the banter you’ve seen above.

Could you post a screenshot of your issue so we can more clearly see what is happening.

Can you try and keep your responses in one post.

Please open the bug reporter and create a new bug report and post the bug number here.

To get around this you can start a new project from the command line to access the editor;
In the command line

C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe -createProject

Hit enter, this will create a new project and open the editor bypassing the project screen.

Here is where you need to type the command for Windows to launch the editor, you will ned to type the location of the editor & the command line option.

The example provided is for the default install location, if you changed the location upon installing Unity, substitute the address.

MyProject = Can be any name you like the folder to be.

Unity will now open using the project you just created, the project Window (for you it’s grey) will appear but you should be able to click the X to get rid of it.

To open the project you created after you have closed the editor;

I had this problem with Unity 5.3.0f4 and the run command didn’t even work. Here’s what I did to fix it:

  1. Uninstall Unity and Unity webplayer.
  2. Go to “C:\Users\Username\AppData” and delete the Unity folder inside the Local, LocalLow, and Roaming folders.
  3. Reinstall Unity.

I had to kill Unity and got this bug as a result, I guess because this corrupted some files.

Deleting the Library folder and the Temp folder from the project fixed it.

I have the same problem on my game.
