    Using the "File > Open recent scene" menu to open an earlier opened scene doesn't work.

    Reproduce
    • Open project from Case 1300104
    • Click from the main menu "Game > Open > Episode 1 > Floor 1"
    • Click from the main menu "File > New Scene" and create an empty scene
    • Click from the main menu "File > Open Recent Scene > Classic_E01_F01"

    Actual
    The scene doesn't open.

    Expected
    The scene opens or it shouldn't be added to the "Open Recent Scene" menu.

    Yep, something similar happens in my existing project, but I didn't report it since I couldn't reproduce it in a new project. Attaching a gif.
    Either it silently fails and does nothing (even though the scene asset still exists in the same place and can be opened normally), or sometimes, it opens a different recent scene than the one I chose. Also note the currently opened scene didn't make it into the recent scenes list.

    Nice catch -- this is indeed a bug. Recent scenes used to be stored by path until recently when that became an issue and it was changed to GUID. The problem is that upgrading a project will break this functionality because scenes are already stored in EditorUserSettings in the wrong way.
    You can alleviate this manually by opening YourProject/UserSettings/EditorUserSettings.asset and deleting every entry that involves RecentlyUsedScenePath-X. We'll get to fixing it, thanks for making us aware of this!

    If you open your project folder (root) – the folder containing your Assets folder – there should be a folder called UserSettings.

    In UserSettings, edit EditorUserSettings.asset in your favourite text editor.

    Delete every entry with RecentlyUsedScenePath and save the file:

    I did try this out on my file. I deleted every path that was for recentlyusedsceneguid and unfortunately it did not bring back my assets. When I originally clicked "open recent scene," I was looking for another save and when I went back to the original scene everything was removed from the hagiarchy. My project saved and I don't know how to get it back. Any help would be great!

    What's ironic is I was checking to make sure I had 2 saves so I wouldn't lose my previous work since I'm still new to unity editing and well...that didn't go as planned lol
