Hi guys,

I am using win7 x64 and when I started a new project on unity 5, my dashboard became like the screenshot attached.

Unity 5 is a great tool for indie game maker but this error makes me cannot create new project and I quite feel annoying about this.

If anyone could help me out of it, that will be very appreciated! Thank you

Well, not sure what might cause this problem, but Unity now uses an html file for the menu which get preprocessed before displaying. This preprocessing seems to be messed up.

Please check the folder:

\Unity\Editor\Data\Resources\Home\src\pn-newProject\

if it contains those files:

- templates
   - empty2d
      - package.json
      - pack-img-2D@2x.png
   - empty3d
      - package.json
      - pack-img-3D@2x.png
- newProject.html
- newProject.js
- newProject.less

The package.json should look like this:

{
    "id": "b541877d57fc468ba5e3ffa59721bbd0",
    "version": "1.0",
    "title": "3D",
    "description": "",
    "icon": "",
    "templateType": "3D"
}

If the files are there, there could be a problem with folder permissions or conflicts with an antivirus software.

Can you actually open a project? If yes, do you see any error in the console when you try to create a new project?

This is the same error message as I got on unity. After i reinstalled unity there was a similar error on the welcome screen. In my case, I had a virus called w32 ramnit/html that basically infected every single html file that I was opening( was having like 12k ramnit viruses at a point) and since the new welcome screen/new project screen is based on html…well I think you got the point. Maybe you have the same virus…to remove it use eset online scan or download ramnit tool removal from symantec. Hope it helped.
