There’s still no update in the release notes of 2020.1.8:
It’s tedious to still have to use 2019 only for the download of the purchased packages because it has a working Asset Store functionality.
I reported the problems with it 2 months ago (!)
Shouldn’t there be some kind of focus / priority that Unity’s customers can download what they paid money for?
Hey Rowlan,
What specific bugs are you running into that we can help provide insight for?
Hi Maru,
the “what” is in here:
https://discussions.unity.com/t/803846
This thread is more about the “When”. Will Unity address those problems at all? I still have 2019.4 installed and still use it to be able to download the assets and after that I install those manually. It was even last week with 2020.1.9f1 that Unity installed an old version of an Asset that I had in the Assets folder (name with a different timestamp, I rename them manually before they get overwritten). Even yesterday it turned out to be a good choice to keep a backup - which actually would be the job of the package manager, but he doesn’t - since an update to an asset broke and I wouldn’t have had any way to revert to an old working version otherwise.
And it’s sooooo annoying that Unity first scans my 100s of Assets on the Hard Disk before it even tries to list the ones I purchased. That’s happening for absolutely no reason when it only lists a few of them anyway. And it’s only interesting what’s downloaded when I click it. Or when I see them in the resulting list which is limited by 25 initially anyway.
Switching the category still doesn’t consider the search text I entered, I have to re-enter it.
And when I install a large asset it says “Saving unsaved assets” for minutes for I have no idea why since saving is fast. I guess the message box is just wrong and it’s extracting the assets. No idea.
The package manager is such a pain to use.
Oh, and the latest problem is that I can’t even find Entities anymore. Nowhere.
No need to reply here about the bugs, main question is “When”. I don’t want to download yet another sub-version of Unity only to see that nothing got fixed.
Thanks
Thanks Rowlan - I thought I replied to this to say I passed this on but I didn’t - apologies for that.
I passed this to the team and still waiting to hear back for a response so I’ll make sure this gets addressed.
Could you please lock this thread? Let’s keep it all in this one:
Thank you!
