Share your Unity Hub 3.0 Beta Feedback Here

Gennady · June 23, 2021, 5:36pm

Hi! Thanks for coming here to share some feedback and ideas. First, a few things to keep in mind:

Hub 3.0 Beta 1 should work for your daily needs. If you spot something from the latest V2 version but that’s not working, please log a bug through Bug Reporter within the Hub.
Some known bugs are documented in the Release Notes page, which also outlines features we’re working on for next versions.

Many people at Unity have contributed to bringing V3 to life. With your Beta feedback, we will make our products even better for you, and others like you.

So join in the transformational journey for Unity Hub. Share your ideas with us here.

We love feedback - good AND bad! So don’t hold back (we know you won’t )

Thank you!

The Hub Team

UPDATES:

Jan. 10 2022 - Hub 3.0.0

Good news! Hub V3.0.0 just landed and you can read the release notes here.

We really appreciate the feedback shared in that thread and will continue to look at it and be all ears to make the Hub better. In the meantime, this thread will be closed as it was created for 3.0.0 beta specifically but we encourage you to continue to share on this forum!

Thank you!

Brathnann · July 8, 2021, 3:54pm

Ability to adjust column width would be nice.
Mouse over a project path that is longer than the field width should have a popup with the full path.
The new list view for the Unity installed versions isn’t bad, but I do miss the tiled look from the previous version. An option to switch between the two would be nice.

Sailendu · July 8, 2021, 4:58pm

The new update is awesome!!! I really like the new design. Kudos to the team.

I have just one minor request, on macOS please make the hub icon look like the new Big Sur style icons, rounded corner, that would make it look in line with other icons. It’s not a big issue, just a personal preference.

keveleigh_1 · July 8, 2021, 6:05pm

So far, this new version has been great!
One thing I’ve noticed is that both Windows Standalone and UWP just show up as “Windows” in the version selector, which is a bit confusing

system · July 8, 2021, 6:09pm

I guess no more light theme? I am a VERY sad panda. Please tell me you are planning to add it.

Brathnann · July 8, 2021, 6:45pm

In the release notes.

system · July 8, 2021, 6:53pm

I just updated to 3.0 and I face this issue in the license section…

it seems that my “Personal” license will expire someday… but it’s funny that when that happen I’m probably dead! LOL!!

fherbst · July 8, 2021, 7:49pm

So many regressions! Seems you optimized for newcomers and against power users, yet again.

1. Creating projects is now WAY slower:

creating new projects now is click-move-click-scroll-move-click-move-click-type-click
before: click-click-type-move-click

I understand that this “looks nice” when presented to a manager but it’s horrible for daily workflow.

2. The installation list is now bloated and takes 3-4x more space than before:
Before: ~24 Editor installations fit on a screen
Now: ~8 Editor installations fit on a screen

For reference, I usually need to have 30-50 versions installed at any given time.

3. Preferences like the path where you want to create projects are not remembered anymore (Case 1348978)
Seems like the “manual QA” was creating exactly one project in exactly the preset location?

4. Items don’t have tooltips anymore / Important Info is lost
The “your editor is not installed” exclamation mark doesn’t have a tooltip anymore, you force users to click on them to even see what they want to tell. Before: “quick overview, all info is there” was traded for “bloated UI with extra clicks to get the actual info”.
Also, project path doesn’t have a hover anymore to show the full path.

Please add the hover again or use the giant amount of screenspace you have to show the actual project path:

5. There’s load times everywhere, on every try.
Want to create a project? Wait 10s for all the cool unused templates to load!
Want to switch the editor version? Rejoice, wait 10s after every editor version change to wait for the cool unused templates to load!
Best of all? You have to wait for them before you can click the Create button!

Crucial links and info are gone
No link anymore to the release archive, resulting in me having to google again where the archive is

Feature Requests:
No quick way to see which platform a project is on before I open it, resulting in potentially hours of wasted import times. It got even harder now to set the platform (is hidden beyond yet another sub window).
Make the displayed editors smaller. On the old UI 50% of space could have been compacted, instead it got bloated by 300% with no added information or value to users.

SmirelesWildWorks · July 8, 2021, 8:02pm

Do not auto open a project when getting added to the Hub. Give the user to time to set the desired Platform (sometimes projects comes from a different platform from a repository). Auto starting it in an undesired platform force the user to reimport everything twice.
The current Hub already covers that, do not leave that behind please.

lasercannon · July 8, 2021, 9:50pm

Getting a bug with my 2018.4.34f1 project where every time I open the project from beta Hub, all assets get reimported. The build target is set to Windows 64-bit il2cpp. It also looks like the project is suddenly aware of files’ git status, which I didn’t add?

Overall I’m loving the redesign! Super slick.

JacobHaig · July 8, 2021, 10:43pm

I’m getting an “Install failed: Validation Failed” error while trying to install the most recent Beta. I do not have past installations or projects.

brunocoimbra · July 9, 2021, 12:56am

Every time I open a project with the beta, collab-proxy package gets added back for some reason, it doesn’t happen in 2.4.4.

BackgroundMover · July 9, 2021, 1:01am

For anyone looking for the bug reporter, its under the dropdown clicking on your profile/avatar, then Troubleshooting, then Report a bug

KingKRoecks · July 9, 2021, 1:19am

I can’t open a project with a different editor version. It just gives a black screen

Clicking “Choose another Editor version” shows this:

Gennady · July 9, 2021, 2:00am

Hi! Looks like an issue with permissions. Are you able to install most recent Beta using 2.4.4?

unity_4744383DE3D7A62CF5EC · July 9, 2021, 2:10am

I don’t see anything wrong as of right now, looks SO much better with the dark mode too

SugoiDev · July 9, 2021, 2:13am

Couldn’t test much because it fails to install the latest Unity beta 3.
I’m on Windows 10.
Install target "c:\Program Files\Unity" is a junction (it’s a different partition to avoid bloating my backups).
"c:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Unity" is a symlink to folder inside the install target partition.

Edit: This was due of lack of space. The Hub does not take into consideration the space in the actual drive. Instead, of assumes the free space is from C:
When you do to install a new Editor version, it shows the free space from C:, instead of the one from the mounted partition:

This is what the hub shows

This is the actual size of the partition mounted to "c:\Program Files\Unity"

jasursadikov · July 9, 2021, 2:35am

Hi! New hub looks much better than 2.x! Would there be multiple accounts support in future release?

jasursadikov · July 9, 2021, 2:42am

I switched to Production channel and came back to beta, and keep seeing this message to downgrade even if I press dismiss…

paruthi-exe · July 9, 2021, 3:37am

Finally some thing Dark and beautiful… decent UI design similar to EPIC launcher…
Can you guys just add a pause and resume option to download, as I’m from low bandwidth internet areas.
Because of this download crashes in between and have to download again from the start… so much time, bandwidth and money wasting…

@jasursadikov getting same error… switched to Production channel and then back to beta
