    I got the following error when I tried adding a new script. The script is short and has no errors. What does this error mean?

    Error loading launcher://unity/C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Packages/node_modules/unity-editor-home/dist/index.html?code=IsDvNTVTrEWedscWMdJUJg005f&locale=en&session_state=a264b2d976aff23ce08cea374f53fe67be7c137f1906b0d5d103173366655d63.wwoFXAF-qdEJYEoJ7ov2-g00af

    Same problem here... Lost a morning of work trying to understand what was happening, uninstalling and re-installing Unity 2 or 3 times to no success.

    I'm have the same error on launch, did anyone find a solution? Started after I tried to install Octane but have now uninstalled and am still receiving the error. I'm using Unity 2017.1.0f with a MSoft Surface Pro 4, i7. Tried re-install but still no change.

    Same! warding here. I guess has to do with old files from old versions of unity.

    Not entirely sure it is the older files. I've tried a new blank project and received the same error. Also tried removing suspect packages and old assets from the full project but all without success. Unity is working otherwise, although it is now struggling to compute Final Gather, which it wasn't prior to the error.

    I hadn't actually updated Windows for some time and still received the error. I'm updating now to see if that makes any difference.

    Seems to be a benign error, it appeared when i upgraded from 5.6 to 2017, but doesn't cause any compilation or build problems.

    The error is because your login hasn't been validated and there are some purchased assets in your project which require you to login to your account. I had the same error. Check the account tab on the top right corner of your scene and verify whether you are logged in. If you aren't, you'll see your user name displayed. Click on it and you'll be logged in. I was able to remove this error once I logged in from that tab.
    Hope this helps.

    Same here.. macOS with Unity 2017.1.0p2

    If I try to login via the Account button the window flashes up for a short moment and the console gives me that error.. again and again.

    I had a similar issue although it wasn't stopping me getting into/using Unity, it appeared as an error in red text in the footer/status bar (I'm new to Unity, not sure what that area is called).

    In my case I seem to have fixed it by changing the permissions on the c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\ folder in Windows so that ordinary Windows users (not just administrators) have full permission to the folder in Windows (right click folder -> properties -> edit -> add and then add the "Users" group to the permissions and make sure they have full control).

    As usual with Windows, your mileage may vary...

    No -.- I already submitted this bug and wrote the support twice.. no response. This is very bad. Specially for all the Plus and Pro members, who pay every month and now we can't work...

    Morning , same issue here and this method gets me into UNITY - when opening UNITY go to accounts and sign-out , when it asks you to sign-in skip this , then open a project ( and clear error ), this at least fires UNITY up , the error i get using latest version ( 2017.1.0f3 ) on OS X

    - Error loading launcher://unity//Users/MYNAME/Library/Unity/Packages/node_modules/unity-editor-home/dist/index.html?code=iypkXlgMd9juBxI4PrSMpA007f&locale=en&session_state=9e48f3f94be77bfedcd7bfc6ed5d407a862e3a506fce08c32e620bb3b8f65abd.BPuSjFpdb14KOeEc06gV9Q005f#/login

    So simply make sure you're not signed into your account when starting UNITY :)

    Could all of you still download and update through the AssetStore? This is also not working anymore for me.

    but you need to do this every time you start unity again

    No, please report that bug, too.

    It's important that UnityTech notifies, that a lot of people got this problem :)

    same problem here. I had to reinstall windows yesterday. Clean install windows 10. Then I had the crap about needing The Creators Update before I could install my 1060 GTX drivers. Now I just started Unity (without any project files existing anywhere on my PC) and it gives me this error every time I start a project.

    Annoyinly I had the same version of windows and Unity up til the reinstall, so im guessing it is to do with either the new Windows updates or Nvidia

    Just spoke to engineering here, they mention the following:

    "This message is harmless, but you can still try to navigate to this location:

    C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages

    First make a local backup, then delete everything in this folder. When you restart Unity, needed packages will be downloaded and hopefully the error will not appear. If you still see the error, you can safely ignore it for now."

    The plan is the fix will be in 2017.2 final, no specific ETA yet.

    This has only for me happened today (08-11-2017) -- I used Unity (community / free only) yesterday, and no problems. Today I have to provide login credentails even to use.. Even after a re-install of the product this still shows up.

    I wouldn't care except that I can't event look at variables in Visual Studio in debug mode for a project... Is it relayed? I'm not sure, except that this is the only thing that has changed....

    I fixed it by opening the Asset Store tab and making sure it shows that I'm logged in. Then chose to open a project and it started to download it normally. The error is still there but at least I can work with my Cloud project.

    Same issue but it occurs while opening a project. The existing project opens in a blank state.

    Editor.log:

    [CEF] undefined in file <path>/assets/unity-editor-home.js at line 39

    This issue has nothing to do with the install of Unity or your OS. Its a dirty file in your Roaming folder. I think its Unity ending your login sessions faster then they did in the past. This was a bug back in a 4x ver of Unity.
    Back then, deleting the offending file was a fix for a few days. But honestly, just log out, then log back in. You will be good until you shut down Unity again.

    For anybody wondering. Deleting AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages makes no difference. Error will be still there.
    I am getting this error after fresh install of Unity 2017.1p3 (no upgrades, no old projects updates)
    I understand that this error is most likely benign error but it would be nice not to see error message every time I start a new session in Unity. Considering there seems to be no simple workaround I appreciate commitment to fix it in a next release.

    @zigol01 How does this error affect OnClick() ? The error as described is benign, you can safely ignore it. We plan to fix it in the upcoming release.

    Is this a separate issue? This would not be due the the issue described here. Please open a new forum post if you could please.
