Official 2023.1 pre-release guidelines & announcements

Welcome,

This forum's purpose is to discuss matters regarding 2023.1, to shake out remaining issues, and to improve its general quality before the release.

Guidelines for posting here:

• Reference issue IDs when you start a new thread about a bug. If a bug doesn't have an ID yet and is unknown, make sure to submit a bug report first before writing about it here.
• Please keep separate issues in separate threads and avoid bundling, otherwise, the thread diverges really fast and becomes hard to track. It is OK to start multiple threads consecutively.
• Please make the effort to ensure that the posted issue is the same as yours before assuming "me too".
• This is not a support forum for Unity in general. Topics that are not clearly related to a 2023.1 feature/bug/regression will be moved. A bug _still_ being present in 2023.1 is not a valid topic to discuss here.

Bear in mind that forum responses are not necessarily immediate, particularly as Unity engineers and users are located worldwide and do take weekends off. Please respect that fact.

Spoiler: Guidelines for pre-release testing

The purpose of the alpha and beta phases is to ensure that everything is working as expected before the developed Unity version is officially released. You can help by providing us with information about your user experiences.

If you discover that something is not working as expected, there are some measures you can take to get the issue addressed.

Assess the situation

• Check the issue tracker for existing bug reports.
• Google the issue and look for related forum threads.

Primary actions

• Is it a known unresolved issue?
  • Vote for the relevant issue tracker entry.
• Is it an unknown issue?
  • Submit a bug report with a minimal reproduction project and respond to requests from Unity personnel.

Secondary actions

• Was the issue already reported, but do you want to make sure your case will be covered by a fix?
  • Submit a bug report with a minimal reproduction project and respond to requests from Unity personnel.
• Is there an existing forum thread about the issue?
  • Reply with a description of your case. If not, start a new thread referencing your bug report's Issue ID.

For more specific information, please have a look at this detailed guide to bug reporting in the context of the alpha & beta.

If you have any questions or other feedback regarding the pre-release and its features, be it positive or negative, please let us know about it.

Thanks for participating in the alpha/beta!
