Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I get my bug fixed? It’s a critical bug for me! It will not be possible for the sustained engineering team to fix every bug. If you have submitted a clear, easily reproducible bug, included a small repro project, and we can match this against similar bugs, or the comments on the issue tracker tell us this bug affects many other people, then it may become a candidate for fixing. If it can be fixed, then we will try to fix it in a timely manner. It’s not possible to give a timeline for a fix, but it should be weeks, and not months, years, or never.

When will the next patch release come? We’re aiming to get to a point where we can ship patches every couple of weeks.

I am near the end of my game development. Should I switch to this new release? No. We recommend that the patch releases are only used by teams who are critically affected by a bug, and need the patch to make progress. If you are not affected by the bugs fixed in a patch release do not take the patch.

Why is a new team fixing bugs? Why are R&D not doing this? Our R&D team are focused on implementing new features and improving the product Obviously they’ll fix bugs. The sustained engineering team has been formed to help accelerate the rate at which bugs can be fixed.

Why is sustained engineering part of the Support and QA teams? Because Support interact every day with customers with support contracts, and so see the issues that affect these teams, and QA process and see the bugs that come from the community. These two teams are ideally placed to observe how bugs affect customers.

When I use the Editor Update Checker in the editor the patch releases are not shown. Is this a bug? No, it’s not a bug. The update check will report on full official editor releases. These will be Unity versions that have an f in them, such as 4.3.4f1. Patch releases are not intended to be used by the whole community, and so will never be reported by the update check. If you wish to look for patch releases please visit this forum thread which will be the only location where these patches are announced and URLs provided.

I want to post a comment on this thread. Why can’t I do that? This thread is for announcements about patch releases. If you want to discuss a patch with the community and Unity, please start a thread in the support section, or add a post to an existing patch related thread.

There seems to be a problem with web player builds. Yes, web players built from a patch release cannot currently be played back in the public released web player. We are working on resolving this issue. For now, please make a web player build using the official editor release.

The patch download takes ages. Yes, these patch releases are not intended for every Unity user, so we have them hosted on a slower network.

Cheers
Graham, Jawa, Thomas and the Sustained Engineering Team

Release 4.3.7p2

  • 588556 Editor Shaders: Sprite Renderer can now use GLSL shaders
  • 606189 Audio: Fix for incorrect channel playback in ogg compressed 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 audio files

Frequently Asked Questions:

Where’s the demo project? We removed it to reduce download size. Please download an official installer if you need the Angry Bots project. (Or download the project from the asset store.)

You never fixed my bug!!! ??? We are fixing bugs we are aware of that affect large customers and many users. We cannot fix every bug in two weeks. We’ll continue chipping away at bugs, and sooner or later your bug should get fixed.

Will there be another 4.3 patch? Maybe. We don’t actually know. We have some 4.5 bugs to fix next.

Cheers

We’re well into making a 4.5.2p1 release. We’ve found a fatal WP8 problem which is also present in 4.5.2f1. We’ve fixed it, but need to do some more QA before releasing it. So the patch will be delayed until tomorrow, Friday 18th July.

The next release is going to be a public release 4.5.3, which will have all the recent patch fixes in it. Official releases get more QA and our QA team have found some problems which need to be addressed. 4.5.3 will ship tomorrow, or possibly Monday.

Because I am an idiot, I forgot to post that we’d shipped 4.5.3, a public release (not a patch). See:
