so evidently unity updated on me all of a sudden and now my project doesnt work at all.. help?

I was in my project and it was working just fine, i saved it. Then exited the program. I came back later and got a message saying that my project was made in an incompatible unity version and it needed to be “fixed” to work with the new one. the only other option i had was to close so i said ok. It did whatever it did and opened up and looked fine. Then i tried running it and its getting errors all over saying that things are not referenced when they are. Any ideas what i can do ?

Try right-clicking your asset folder in the project view and select “Reimport all”

If that doesn’t work, go into your project folder outside of unity and delete the Library folder, then reopen unity and it will be rebuilt.

Best of luck!

thank you it finally re built correctly after many attempts at this.

For the record, Unity has no ability to update itself automatically. You have to do it manually.

are you sure? when i open it it has a window that says its not up to date and if i dont close it fast enough it says unity is now up to date, then it messes things up. maybe its just something i am not understanding but it sure looks like it does it on its own. maybe i have a setting checked i shouldnt some where?

I’m 100% sure. There is no update mechanism from within Unity. The only possible way to update Unity is to download the installer. If there’s an update available, you get a “download” button, but the only thing that does is take you to the Unity website download page.

You probably ran the wrong icon or something. I noticed this when installed a new version in a separate folder to do something, then weeks later clicked the wrong shortcut on the desktop.

thats probably what i did. I do have 2 versions on here, one for my class and older one and the newer ones. I will check to see if i did that. thanks
