I also have this problem. Unity 2021.1.5f1 What’s going on?
Me too.
Hi,
Could you please submit a bug report for this issue and share the Issue ID in this thread?
Same here, i have never seen a more buggy Unity version than Unity 2021.1.5f1 and Unity 2021.1.6f1 and the casherver issue is also in latest Beta.
I have shader errors in HDRP, crazy script errors in URP (related to protection levels in some variables that was not a problem before !!!), errors getting in the project.
Is something impossible at this point and all errors seem strange, nothing is clear why happen.
Good news is that at least for now 2021.2.0a13 does not have any of those issues !!!
I would like to really beg Unity, on my knees, not to change anything in this version, any new iteration brings disaster for my work and my time
EDIT: I tried and also get errors in latest 2021.2.0a16 and 17, which i did not get in 0a13 !!!
Please help !!!
Got this trying to open my project copy on ext3 partition mounted via Ext2Fsd from Windows 7 x64. Copied back to NTFS - it works again! Editor.log is full of repeating:
A meta data file (.meta) exists but its folder ‘Assets/Bunch/Of/Folder/Names/In/My/Project’ can’t be found, and has been created. Empty directories cannot be stored in version control, so it’s assumed that the meta data file is for an empty directory in version control. When moving or deleting folders outside of Unity, please ensure that the corresponding .meta file is moved or deleted along with it.
just after “Application.AssetDatabase Initial Script Refresh Start” line, but these folders are in place. Same with enabled/disabled cache server. Linux opens both ext3 and NTFS projects just fine. Test empty project doesn’t have this issue.
I have this now when updating the project from Alpha 16 to Alpha 17; still trying to find a way around it. I’m loading the project from nowhere special, just a plain NTFS partition in Windows.
The Editor.log doesn’t seem too interesting; it ends just after “Application.AssetDatabase Initial Script Refresh Start”.
Edit:
Turns out I was probably just impatient, but it was stuck on the “Waiting for Cacheserver” for way over an hour. Since then, the project opens normally.
Hi everybody,
We were able to reproduce a similar issue that causes incorrect information to be displayed during the startup progress bar. We have an internal fix for it in review.
I also am experiencing this issue and submitted a bug report for it.

Ugh… I don’t use the cache server. Why must Unity WAIT and WAIT and WAIT for it?
If you’re still experiencing these issues with recent releases of 2021.2.0b, please submit bug reports for them so your individual cases can be investigated. The fix to the display issue that I mentioned earlier landed in b1.
I switched to “Offical Release” Unity 2021.1.16f1.
→ 'Waiting for CacheServer" - Program does not start
OK, I will now try to install 2021.2.0b…
But he, my Harddrive is Full (full with all the different UnityInstallations)
and
I am knocking on wood, that all my assets (I paid for) will work with this Version.
I am sry… Gamedev is FUN. We are all HAPPY.
~ Yesterday I tried for hours to install a simple asset via this package-manager…
No Server-connection. It s FUN.
Could someone please tell me, where to download the 2021.2.0b ?
Or am I missing something?
just in case this might help someone: We had the same issue and in our case it was a symbolic link (inside Assets) pointing to a folder (outside of Assets) that didn’t exist anymore due to git not supporting empty folders.
I got random BSOD after entering play mode and every time I try to start now, I get stuck at ‘waiting for cache server’, RAM explodes, all my other apps get shut down and Unity crashes. Tried reinstalling Unity, Unity Hub, tried earlier versions, tried rolling the project back on git, nothing helps. Also tried deleting Temp folders in the project and all sections of appdata etc. Don’t know what I’m missing.
Will definitely look into the symbolic link mentioned by @mabulous thanks
- Everything is completely fine if I create a new project
SOLUTION: I simply cloned the whole project, opened it in Unity, fetched newest version and everything is back on track babyyyy!
