Here is the problem: I bought a complete project asset from the asset store, and it works great in the editor, but when I build the scene and try to play it, all controls are gone, as is the reticle (it’s first person).
So there I am in the build with a perfectly normal looking scene around me, and no way to move around or interact with it. If I go back to the editor, the problem is the same in the scene, until I replace the EditorBuildSettings in the projectsettings folder with an earlier version I saved before the build attempt.
This first occurred in Unity 2017.3, so last night I updated to 2018.2.6f1, built a clean project, imported the asset again, and it still happens. Anybody have any idea what in the asset could be doing this? The assets’ author is also at a loss at this point. Thanks for your time.
