Questions & Answers

Hey guys, i have recently installed Unity 2.6.1f3, and whenever i open or create a project from the program, or close the program, it crashes with windows opening the 'Unity Editor has crashed.' error dialog box. The only way i can create or open a project is by checking the 'Show project selection box at startup' box in the settings.. and when i close the program, any settings i had saved are lost..

Below are the details from the windows crash promt:

Please file a bug report. When Unity crashes, a bug reporter should appear. As Unity 3 will probably be out pretty soon, you might be lucky and the issue is already fixed with Unity 3.

One possible reason could be some issue with file permissions. If this is happening all the time, also with different projects (from your description, it seems like that), another possible reason is that something's wrong with your Unity installation (so you might try to re-install Unity).

Of course, usually if Unity crashes, it does have something to do with a specific project. In that case, it's usually the best to re-create the project bit by bit (or make a copy and remove things bit by bit) to figure out what it exactly is that's causing the problem.
