Unity crashes on importing stard assets package...help?

Hi all,

Im a modeller and modding enthusiast. I got unity cos it was free was looks pretty awesome. Ive been working through some tutorials, namely the robot 3rd person one and now im trying the 1st person shooter tutorial, however I cannot get past importing the standard assets package, because it crashes unity.

Has this happened to anyone else? any way of fixing it?

never seen that but would expect:

  1. The installation beeing corrupt
  2. The security software interfering
  3. Combination

Best thing to do is reinstall unity with the antivirus guard disabled, then add the unity and the project directory to the exclude list, start the av guard again and then start unity.

See if this helps.

That all naturally granted that you have enough RAM (2GB+ on Vista, 1.5GB+ on XP / Win7)

Yeah my computers pretty much maxed out so that’s not the problem.

I’ll try a reinstall when I get home

Hmm it seems to have been fixed after I did a re extraction of the tut folder, this time in the Unity directory. I dunno I guess it didnt like it when the folder was in my docos
