Hey so I opened unity and it forced an update on my game now it doesn’t work anymore. I dont know why it does this but I want to downgrade my game but also gives a million errors as to why it cant. How Do I tell unity to not update? I have selected everything to not auto update. Am I better off using unreal?
For reference it screws my whole start up code now because “Unassigned reference exception” However these were all assigned and it wont let me reassign them easy and is screwing with me so I have no idea why they are all of a sudden unassigned.
Unity doesn’t force anything on you, it asks you before any update. It doesn’t update the Unity version, you do. Also, if you don’t use source control or backups then you were always going to get into this position one way or another.
It’s unfortunate and a pain that the (presumably) project upgrade (due to you updating something) failed but I don’t see how anyone can help you really without some more information. All you’ve provided is a bunch of swearing/ranting which doesn’t clarify your problem. Maybe you just want to vent though.
It deleted a bunch of templates I made which is why there is a null reference error. I do not see why an update deletes such references. Also it was a 2D game why I posted it here
It won’t update without asking/warning you. If it is a non-matching version of unity, it will tell you give you the option to quit or upgrade. You will always want to be using version control for anything you don’t want to lose. If you are not, you should at least backup project before proceeding with an update. Not sure what you mean by “templates” but anything in your project folder wouldn’t be deleted. It may be that you don’t have a package installed/updated for the new version of the editor installed. But without details, we can’t help you.
Could it be a forced update of the Unity Hub has caused the issue with a game, rather than the game being forcibly updated? I think it is wrong to have forced updates of any kind.
