    Hello everyone! My current project is developed with bolt 1.4.13, I would like to know if the old bolt project will be compatible with the new visual scripting version after unity2021 is released?

    Yes it will, but you should wait for Visual scripting 1.6 to get the automatic upgrade from 1.43 asset store to built in version.

    sorry, I wasn't clear. could you give me:
    - the exact versions of unity (eg. 2021.1b1)
    - the bolt version you're using (1.4.13 ?)
    - the unity visual scripting version present in the 2021 build (1.5.0-pre or 1.6.0-pre)

    I am using 2021.1.0f1.
    VS 1.5.2
    Bolt 1.4.3

    The initial errors seemed to have been linked to Bolt Addon, so when I removed that the errors disappeared.
    But now I only have this in my inspector:
    upload_2021-3-26_14-1-7.png

    With no way to open them. Is there no upgrade steps?

    Thanks,
    jrDev

    VS 1.5.2 don't have the automatic upgrade path in it. you will need to use 1.6.0-pre3 to get it to work. You will also need to get the Bolt Addons that is compatible with unity visual scripting, you will need to switch to this version. https://github.com/RealityStop/Bolt.Addons.Community#UVSsupport. I don't know if it is working with unity visual scripting.

    Hey @ericb_unity,

    Besides a few errors and warnings that showed when I upgraded which were clearable, it looks to have worked!

    Though I do get these warnings when I am in Play mode: "Could not load connection between 'xmin' of 'GraphInput#feee7...' and '%min' of 'InvokeMember#4ec8a...'.". Don't know what they mean. I have been making posts on the prerelease Discord channel on these!

    Thanks,
    jrDev

    It kinda look like warnings from random nodes that got updated in the api. Normally you should be able to double click on the warning and it should open the graph with the problem. The node will show in yellow.
