Unity crashed when resizing "scene" or "game" window

Unity Engine
1

I’m on Unity 4.6.0f3 and a regular HP laptop with windows 7.

Im fooling around with some GUI, and then i have to stretch and resize the “scene” or the “game” window to see if the gui stretch as intended. Unfortunately Unity crashed, with no exception, every single time i drag the line between the scene window and the inspector, or the line between the scene window or any other thing. Even if i unattach the scene/game window and stretch it, it crashed…

Anyone with same problem? Anyone with an idea to fix this?

Greeting Rasmus

I’d say there are 2 things you could try.

  1. Go to the top-right, go to the “Layouts” dropdown, and try to change your layout, then change it back and see if it works.

  2. Go to your project root folder and delete your “ProjectSettings” folder. Open up your scene again and let it rebuild. This will change the default layout that you have saved, but it seems as if your layout may be corrupt, so that may be your only option. I, myself, have never ran into this issue, so I’m just offering suggestions.

Thanks for you suggestions. Unfortunately either changing the layout settings, or deleting the “ProjectSettings” folder had any effect, still crashed crashes on resize/stretch.
Changing the layout works fine, only resize/stretch the game/scene window crashes Unity, regardless if it is an entire new project, or an existing one

Hmm… Make sure all of your graphics drivers are up to date.

When it crashes, do you get the crash report window?

Open up your Editor log by going to your Debug console and following my picture below. Then copy/paste the contents of your log into your next reply.

I got a crash report window once, but only once. Heres a copy of my editor log:

Hmm, everything seems to be normal within your Editor.Log file… My suggestions would be to try and reinstall Unity if you haven’t already, update gfx drivers, and if all else fails, open a ticket with Unity.

7

Facing similar issue… Had this issue when 4.6 was in testing phase. I did submit a bug report that time.
Thought this would have in solved in final release. Using 4.6.1f1, still facing same issue. I guess this happens only when using new UI. Hoping for a solution soon.

8

Still having this issue. Crashed on 2017, last version, still crashing. 2018.3.0f2

9

Same issue 2018.3.0f2 like chesini. No answers on how to solve it

10

Have the same problem. Resizing windows crashes unity editor. Advised by unity team to update the graphic card driver, update DirectX. Have done both and run unity from command line but to no avail. I reinstalled unity, reset my PC and installed a fresh copy of unity; all that but still no solution.

Unity version Unity 2018.3.5f1 (64-bit)
Windows 10 Home
Intel Cord i5-8300H CPU
RAM: 8GB

Once the editor goes black; I tried to choose a different layout from the layout drop down list but Unity throws an error and prompts to send the error log to unity. It has been going on for weeks now. I have raised a ticket with the unity team; hoping for a solution soon.

11

Same problem here, using Unity 2018.2.17f1.
I already had this issue but it’s just gone at some point back then. I don’t remember what I did (if I did anything to fix it).
Anyone has a solution ? Unity team maybe ?

12

Also seeing this in 2018.3.0f2 and 2018.3.7f1, to recreate, hit play and try to resize the Game window. Also noted that forcing OpenGL mode in the Editor fixes the problem but is not compatible with many shaders (not an option in our case).

13

I have been advised this issue is known as a bug and work in progress. If your laptop is unplugged and your graphics cards has some automated optimisation settings; the above scenario can be duplicated by resizing the windows a couple of times. When your laptop is plugged; the problem shouldn’t occur.
kind regards

14

For me it happens when the laptop is plugged in. Works fine when unplugged, seems like some graphic related setting needs to be modified

15

Still happens for me 2019.1.2f1 and in previous versions. Only when laptop unplugged though.
