WTF... restoring ENTIRE folder problem

Unity Engine
1

Hello everyone,

now I start really getting mad at this piece of software. This is kind a follow up story to this problem I have:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/68514-MonoDevelop-freeze-upon-debug-start

In fact, ever since Unity 3.1 this project freezes whenever I want to debug the code. Only this project, another project of mine does work as expected. I did everything imaginable: from synchronizing the MonoDevelop project to re-importing everything.

But what happens now is just hilarious:

I make daily backups of my projects including ALL files (even the hidden ones), means that really everything (!!!) is in the backup file. I also did a complete backup this morning.

So, while trying to solve my above mentioned problem, I decided to give it a “fresh” start. I first deleted the project files (.csproj, sln, etc), refreshed the project files and tried debugging… didn’t work.

I then tried deleting the Library folder content, and recreate it. Didn’t help…

I finally told myself, “WTF… I want to continue, I’ll stick with debug outputs”, so I pulled out my backup (remember all files etc…)…

I start Unity, and everything is ok (upon play start, a second camera/audiolistener is active, so I uncheck it). Game runs just fine.

NOW: I exit Unity and restart it… and NOW ALL SCRIPT LINKS ARE GONE. What the heck?!?

I re-pull out my backup, everything works, restart Unity, all script links missing…

I seriously get p***** right now. How is this possible?

Has anyone a solution to this whole problem? I have paid money to use the PRO version of this soft and currently I feel like scr****…

If you have pro you can save yourself a lot of headache by enabling the VCS support so the metas are generated.
The only other thing then is that you regularly restart the editor … there is a degree of caching that you can’t force to syncronize otherwise and that will lose the data that changed since the last start / sync

But how is it possible that a project that is totally fine upon first start (after backup) loses all the script links (even though I didn’t touch anything). This is just insane.

@dreamora: Thanks for the VCS hint. That fixed my problem upon restart problem. Yet, it doesn’t help me with my debug problem. Nevertheless, I’m a step further by not losing my project stuff.
