Asset Store - Open in Unity not working

I'm trying to open an asset in the Unity Editor from within my Firefox browser. When I click on Open in Unity from the Asset Store, a prompt opens and asks me what I want to use to open the link with. I click on the Unity Editor and nothing happens. Presumably I have pointed to the wrong Unity Editor. I had originally installed Unity before Unity Hub was a thing, and have since downloaded Unity Hub and several different Unity versions.

Could someone please tell me what I should now be opening the Unity links with so that they will correctly open in the editor?

The links do download if I open them directly from within Unity's Asset Store tab, so the issue is just that I've pointed to the wrong instance of the Unity Editor to open the link. Presumably there's something I can point to that will open in the editor regardless of which version of Unity I am currently using from the Hub. Thanks.

 

Can you share a screenshot, I'm not clear on your statement "I click on the Unity Editor.."

 

Dead ass this happened to me just now. I tried to open an asset from an MSN browser. When I clicked on the link to "Open In Unity" from the Asset Store, nothing happens. How do I access my stuff; is it possible still from the browser or import it onto the program itself.

Forgive the vernacular. I'm also really stoned right now...

 

Recently this has been happening to me too, and I don't know why.

To solve the problem, I'm pre-opening the package manager and keeping its window open while I go to the asset store and add the package to the project ... (That way he already adds the asset to the package manager)

tested it on chrome and opera, this problem occurs in both, it seems to be some bug that prevents the browser from specifically opening the package manager inside editor

 

my asset store is also not working.
I mean I can gon into the asset store but it looks like this
plz help!!!

 

my unity asset store is not working when I click on the asset it sends me back to the asset store

 

This worked for me, thanks

 

Same thing to me. Unity cant you stop with bugs?

 

For new users...
If you have just installed Unity and purchased some assets and wanna start...
Make sure you do 2 things.
Sign the Unity terms and have the Package Manager open with "My Assets".
It just happened to me!

 

Yea as Mzone3D said. Click the tab at the top of package manager that says "packages: this project" and just change it to my assets. Will just need to refresh.

 

it did not work i tried it dose not work I'm using chrome

 

this is happening to me as well, all of a sudden. i can't open anything.

 

Same here. Can't open anything in unity. It just opens the hub. S***ty Mac M1

 

Same here, can't download any asset i click on Open In Unity and nothing happens !!!!

 

While the devs are adding new features instead of fixing breaking bugs, try to find it in package manager and download. That worked for me.

 

I uninstalled an older version of Unity, running the newest version (2021.2.9f1) and now "Open in Unity" is broken for me too in my browser. Not entirely sure if it's Unity's fault or Windows, but it sure does suck!

Lots of time wasted, much thanks.

After much digging I found a solution, you have to patch the (Windows) registry:

Code (csharp):

1. REGEDIT4
2.  
3. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\com.unity3d.kharma]
4. @="URL:com.unity3d.kharma Protocol"
5. "URL Protocol"=""
6.  
7. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\com.unity3d.kharma\shell]
8.  
9. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\com.unity3d.kharma\shell\open]
10.  
11. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\com.unity3d.kharma\shell\open\command]
12. @="\"X:\\Program Files\\Unity Hub\\Editor\\(Unity Editor Version)\\Editor\\Unity.exe\" -openurl \"%1\""
13.  

 

It's entirely inappropriate that there are showstopper bugs in the Unity dev platform, and the company won't take any responsibility. We need to join together in publicly shaming them. Shame seems to be the only thing that works in the 21st Century; self-respect and ethics have died and gone to hell.

 

How does one patch a windows registry?

 

I found this problem when uninstall unity editor old version.

So the most easy way to fix this is just download and install new version.

PS. Change editor version from old download file does not work, you must fresh download and install new one.

 

This was the jumping point. Thank you

 

Broken for me as well in Unity 2020.3.30f1, going to package manager -> My Assets fixed it for me, but for me this is unacceptable most people just want to import there assets straight from the browser through the "Open Unity" buttons and it's confusing for it not to work.

Unity really needs to decide if store assets open from the link in the browser or going through the package manager, not having the package manager be a backup plan if the link in the browser doesn't work.

 

Thank u a lot, this work 4 me

 

That work!!!
Сработало!!! unity 2021, в 2022 году! пользуйтесь

 

I am try to open unity asset in unity3d from asset store but it don't work.

 

Yeah, having the same issue. Open in unity button doesn't work. I have Package manager open and set to my assets and have agreed to the terms. still not working...also, maybe related, Unity hub won't run either. I've also turned off firewall, but same thing, nothing downloads or opens.
The only error I see is Package manager says, "error updating packages."

 

I tried it on Unity 2021.3.15f1 last week, for the Ruby's 2D Adventure Asset, in Chrome browser, didn't work at all, it just didn't do anything

 

Bugfix for NullReferenceException on ObjectPicker.cs
(resulting in empty static methods list in object picker in Unity 2022.3)

Replace all occurrences of "Seach" with "Search" in ObjectPicker.cs

 

This worked for me. I only had to change the path with the one in my PC.
PS: You need to copy-paste the code in a text file and save it with a ".reg" extention (not ".txt"), and then execute it by double clicking on the file to add the keys to Windows registry.

 

am i the only one that replied in 2024? btw ive been having that same problem and im trying to make a gorilla tag fan game
