Remember me doesn't work much

Hello Unity,

  1. Unity have this error which disconnects me every time I restart or the other day. Remember me credentials box is checked but still I am facing this issue.

  2. If Unity update releases, why I have to install the Unity from the beginning again, like 28GB or so…

Regards,

M.Aqib

I typically don’t bother signing in unless I’m using services. And you only need to sing in to set up the services, once set up they will run fine without sign in.

  1. Can confirm this, happens to me as well.
  2. It’s because Unity doesn’t know (or don’t care about) benefits of delta patching (which, in layman’s term, makes it only download a binary diff of files, basically what’s changed, and only replace that portion, in many cases without replacing the whole file). It’s a shame really, because delta patching is a common occurrence in Linux repo systems so you don’t have to download whole package again when new version comes out, unless you previously uninstalled it or never installed it at all.

If I had to guess why Unity hasn’t put resources into a differential updater it’s likely due to most professional developers not updating their projects to the latest release as soon as it emerges. They may occasionally download them to try out new features but most of the time they will keep a project on one version for the life of the project.

It may also be partially due to the fact that prior to Unity 5.x it was a very small download and it just wasn’t necessary.

Naturally it’s a common occurrence in situations where the end user will make no actual modifications to the folder and file structure. Unity though has places where you can make minor modifications to the core structure. It would have to keep track of that too.

Same here. I’m almost never logged in, and remember doesn’t seem to work. The only time I bother is if I want use the asset store.

I get it also but I found that the login details are gone even when ‘remember me’ is ticked after I use a system cleaner, junk remover; app like that. I use AVG Internet Security and have the add-on AVG PC TuneUp also. I’ve noticed that several places store ‘Application Credentials’, e.g. ‘Unity Software Login Credentials’ which within AVG PC TuneUp are flagged to be cleared when the optimizer is run.

When the optimizer is finished and I reboot, once back in to the desktop, I then fire up Unity and I find that my login details are gone and I have to enter the Credentials again in to the Unity Software.

So, make sure you’re not deleting these credentials via a clean-up/optimizer app similar to AVG PC TuneUp. If you do not use software like that make sure you haven’t inadvertently set pagefile.sys or some other such cache system file to be cleared when you reboot.

Work offline probably the option I was looking for :stuck_out_tongue:

Means there is no possibility for delta patching ? then I might not consider downloading Unity each time the update releases unless the major ones.

Thank you all,

Sure I’ll do it :smile:
