We have a very large project that is >50GB in size. I upgraded my Unity to 4.5 from 4.2 (I think) yesterday, and since then, have been unable to open my project. It seems to crash every time around “importing small assets”.
Any idea why it might be crashing? Is it the size of the project or the performance of my machine? Here’s my system info:
System:
OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, count: 8
Physical RAM: 16367 MB
Addressable RAM: 2048 MB
Well, your editor log shows that the crash happens when importing a substance material. I think 4.5.1p1 had some substance fixes go in, so maybe try that - look at the Announcements section of the forum for more details. Alternatively, I think you might need to simply delete some of these assets that cause the crash.
Hi Graham,
Got the same problem, after upgrading from p2 to p3 patch, Unity cannot start any existing project, case 617190. Could you please give any suggestion how to fix that? For the moment I’m thinking about reinstalling p2
Only install the ones that apply to you, if a Unity bug you are experiencing is a real shipstoper for your game then use a patch, otherwise, stay on main releases. You can read more about it here.
What was the progression of Unity versions you made with this project?
Tried two projects, one started in 4.5.1, upgraded to p1 p2 p3
Second one just created in p2
But I have already solved that problem: Uninstalled Unity, manually deleted Unity folder (some files were still there), installed p3 immediately after that and was able to open projects.
The editor log shows a callstack suggesting the crash happened when the editor is reading from the editor preferences. If deleting that doesn’t help, yes, revert to p2. I don’t think p3 had any changes in this area, so I’d think this problem is unrelated to p3.
