A way to check Unity version in a project

Hi
I am about to re-download Unity Ver 3 which I have used to create my project (PC died so now have new PC). I wanted to download the same version as the one I created my project in. Is there a way to find out which version of Unity a project was created in?

I know it's Ver 3 but I can't remember which build of Ver 3 I was using? Does it matter? Should I just downward Unity 4 and stick my project in there? Id Ver 4 stable?

Provided you stick to the 3's then you should be good, depending on what you've used in your code it may haev a few issues with upgrading.
I'd recommend copying the project and testing it out on 4.0 (unless you specifically require 3 that is) to see if there are any errors flagged.

 

Hi, I think that was true of the binary version of ProjectSettings.asset, but it seems to have been removed from the text version.

For example the top few lines of one ProjectSettings.asset now say:

%YAML 1.1
%TAG !u! tag:unity3d.com,2011:
--- !u!129 1
PlayerSettings:
m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
serializedVersion: 2
.... (etc)

Is there any other way of detecting the version of a project? It is very painful trying to go back to earlier projects, even just to open them to have a look, because if you don't get quite the right version it often adds an issue, changes a bunch of files and is non-reversable.

 

Just got to Help menu,
then click on Check For Updates - your version will appear and whether or not it's up-to-date

 

I know this is an old thread but it appears you can look at your Library files in a text editor and the version is the first readable text in the file. (Could change at any point when unity updates version)

The first line of Library/assetDatabase3:
˚†R~ú ˚¿4.6.1p1˛ˇˇˇÏAssetDatabaseBaseˇˇˇˇÄunsigned

So the version of unity this was last used was 4.6.1p1.

 

Again, I know this is relatively old thread but because some people seem to have problems with this still. At least as of Unity 5.x builds, the information is as follows:

You should check <project>/ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt for 'm_EditorVersion' tag. It tells you all you need to know on this topic.

thanks, Jarko

 

unfortunately ProjectVersion.txt seems to have been introduced w/ Unity 5, so for earlier versions you need to use the methods mentioned earlier. Adamcbrz's suggestion worked for me w/ unity 4.5.1.

 

Ty so much! <3

 

in project settings,their is file with name ProjectVersion.txt
you can find it out their

 

The first line of any ProjectSettings.asset is "%YAML 1.1". The next two lines are: "%TAG !u! tag:unity3d.com,2011:
--- !u!129 &1"
I think you meant the first line of "ProjectVersion.txt" which shows the version (m_EditorVersion) of the Editor, however Projectversion.txt is not used in Unity versions 3 and 4. Let me know if there's a way to detect those versions with a text editor.

 

Inside the "ProjectSettings" folder you can find the text file "ProjectVersion". It has the version details.
