Sorry to see you are blocked by this issue. It was fixed in beta 6. This new version should be available shortly. Please, once available, can you try to create a project and let us know if you are still experiencing the problem.
Thanks for checking!
Could you please file a bug report with a minimal reproduction project and reply in here with the case #? You can find detailed information about how to submit bug reports here.
OK, @LeonhardP I filed a bug report (Case# 1000696) with an attached project, lengthy description and screenshots.
Although I think to reproduce on the attached project you have to be offline and with no cached packages (in /Program Data/Unity/cache/…) @Peter77 Do you have broadband speeds?
Even after allowing Unity.exe access to the internet the problem is not fixed because the connection is slow.
QA emailed me and said it is fixed in Beta 8 but it’s not the case.
It is regretful that you are having issues with this release of Unity.
A few questions: Is this the only restriction you are imposing to Unity/internet at this point? Are you under a firewall? Is your internet connection proxied?
@pedro_unity Check the case number, QA reproduced it.
I disabled Windows firewall alltogether, antivirus, it’s still happening in Beta 9.
BTW I use a hotspot access point from my Android device.
