I made a prefab using 5.5 beta, then I tried to open it using 5.4 and the prefab seems completely empty, even the names of the gameobjects in the prefab are empty. Do any of you know a workaround how can I open my prefabs created with 5.5?
UPDATE: What I found is that gameobjects in the prefabs are still having reference to the scripts, and sprites, but all the gameobject’s name is an empty string.
Opened a prefab in texteditor but the text is almost completely encrypted.
No line like “serializedVersion: 5”
This is to be expected: Unity projects are not backwards-compatible.
I found a workaround: if you open the prefab in a text editor, and replace the lines “serializedVersion: 5” to “serializedVersion: 4”, unity seems to recognize the prefabs again.
