    I have this appearing on loading my project:

    Compiler redirection error: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
    Length cannot be less than zero.
    Parameter name: length at System.String.Substring (System.Int32 startIndex, System.Int32 length) [0x00053] in <a90417619fac49d5924050304d0280bb>:0

    at Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x0000d] in <e78adca0e712493f9396b48e2b41f2ca>:0

    WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is unavailable.
    Using default runtime: v4.0.30319


    Anytime I try and do something it is constantly compiling scripts and downloading from cache server and basicaly freezes up and I have to close and restart to see what is happening...
    also have 999+ warnings talking about something didn't update because it's not in the assets folder...

    What is going on?? How can I remove this and go back to the last release? This is ridiculuos. Updating should not render a project unusable...where is the backwards compatibility?

    Hi CodeLiftSleep,
    Have you tried deleting the library folder and re-importing the project yet? It would be very helpful if you could file a bug report with the original project from before the update attached if the editor keeps freezing up. Unfortunately backwards compatibility is not supported, which is also the reason you see a big warning dialog when you try to open a project with a newer version.

    All I can say is Thank God for github....after a few hours of mesing around trying to fix it, I simply reimported the github project and it took abou 10 minutes to get back up and running.
