Editor Crashes Upon Compiling scripts

Lately the Unity editor started crashing almost every time it has to compile the scripts. Sometimes this would go away for a while but then reapear again. I've been trying to work this out for a few days now and I still haven't managed to fix it.

This is the stacktrace that the editor outputs when it crashes:

I am currently with version 4.1.2.f1. I tried reinstalling it but that didn't fix the problem. I'm using some additional dlls (fmodex.dll and fmod_event.dll).

 

I don't know if it's the same issue that I was having. I'm using Mac and Unity 4.1.2
I was working in a project and then Unity crashed when tried to compile a script. The next time I opened it, unity always crashed when tried to compile Assembly-CSharp.dll
Here is the console message:
- starting compile Library/ScriptAssemblies/Assembly-CSharp.dll, for buildtarget 4

Then I tried to open several times, delete library foder, reinstalling Unity, no lucky.

The problem was that unity created a process to compile 'Library/ScriptAssemblies/Assembly-CSharp.dll' named 'mono' and was using the dlls.
I just had to restart computer or you could finish mono process manually.

 

Thanks for the answer!
I guess my case is different, because this doesn't help. I'm using Unity under Windows 7 by the way, sorry for not mentioning it. After it crashes and I open it again, Unity will compile the scripts at the startup screen and it will run fine. Then eventually when it has to compile something it will crash again. It doesn't always crash, however but sure slows me down as hell.

 

This happening all the time now. I'm not sure if it's related to project complexity or the 4.2.0f4 release, but it's very destructive to productivity. About 50% of the time, the editor crashes upon recompiling the scripts. Even the smallest change, such as adding a whitespace to the file...50% chance will crash the editor.

Unity would beachball when getting to the compling scripts part of the progressbar. Reboot was the only thing that fixed it.

 

Almost two years later and I'm in the same predicament with Unity 5.

A few days ago Unity has started freezing every 3rd compile or so. Restarting didn't help.

Still have a long ways to go with this project. Wish I knew what to do about this.

Unity 5, Windows 7 64-bit.

 

I think i have same problem: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-5-0-1f1-batch-build-crash.319408/

 

I finally figured it out my problem on accident a month later. Yep, a month.

The 3rd party library "PUN" freezes the main thread when a connection is abandoned (i.e. not disconnected upon closing or "leaked").

I suspect that a compile or a second attempt to play often triggers a garbage collection that locks up the editor. Most likely a problem with unmanaged resources not being disposed.

 

Now that you've found the problem, did you managed to find a solution?

 

For anyone who's as stupid as I am and found this thread. I found that giving a MonoBehaviour a SyncVar attribute causes the same issue as described above.

 

Had the same issue when I tried to create an instance of a custom class in a class that inherited from MessageBase.

 

Did anyone find a solution to this?

 

Crash fest continues on!

 

Looks like support works so much on unity....
