"Failed to resolve project template: Failed to decompress"

Check available disk space. That got me.

 

I use version 2019.3.14f1. I got the same error message even after I tried changing the pathway and shortening the name. What should I do?

 

I just got this with 2021.1.3f1 on a brand new install with an URP template. I had to reinstall, restart and relocate the project folder to a folder with a shorter path name and without any spaces and it started to work

In my case, none of the steps to fix it worked by themselves, but doing them all together in that order finally worked

 

I had the same problem trying to start URP project after updating to Unity 2019.4.24f1.
I just placed all my files and the directory they are in closer to the root of my harddrive ie c:\server\unityfile\projectName

this seems to have done the trick for me as well.

Scarab

 

Still a problem.

 

Version 2020.3. 5f1 LTS same problem (URP)
What's wrong, unity?

 

I'm getting this today. Hub at 2.4.3, Unity at 2020.3.5f1.
Path and project name are very short and there's plenty of free disk space.

- EDIT -
Just noticed that 2020.3.6f1 was released today.
It seems to be working fine on the new version.

 

2019.4.22f1

Hub 2.4.2

Try to create new URP project and get the error

Please help !!!!! Cant do anything now

I certainly not want to update to Hub 2.4.3 or newer Unity with the new BILLION issues, i want to work as it is now.

 

Nobody all here not helped me. Guys pls HELP i want make me race game.

 

Try shorter path name and without gaps or any special characters or numbers.

For me finally worked when i made path very much smaller.

 

had this with latest unity as well (2020.3.8f1). changed the file path to a folder with no spaces and it fixed it as well. has it been posted to unity as a bug? or is it just not obviously documented that this template cant run with spaces in the file path?

 

I fixed this by giving the file a shorter name, also updating unity and the hub won't hurt.

 

nothing worked with me what so ever nothing at all

 

I started hub with admin privs and it launched the downloaded project. From new user perspective this is a usability bug that puts a blem on the shiny newness

 

hub 2.4.3 run as admin and now the screen is:

...but hey, watch this until you too can try it out.

 

This worked for me. Thanks!

 

That's funny, updating to the latest (release) version of Unity Hub is what cased it for me. In fact, with the latest version of Unity Hub, I can no longer create any new projects with any version of Unity 2019.4, through Unity Hub. I can create new projects with Unity 2020.3, but not with Unity 2019.4.

Edit:
It would seem that the cause was the length of the template filepath when placed into the project folder. In my case that was "D:\Dev\Unity\UnityLearn_Official\Realtime Animated Storytelling\[Project Name]"

 

I think there's different solutions for different people, I tried making the part shorter but it didn't work so I just reinstalled unity hub and now it works fine.

 

So here's what I did to fix it
1. I went to the folder where my template file is
2. Then I decompress it manually
3. Then I change the name of the decompressed folder (from package to com.unity.template.3d-5.0.4.tgz) the exact name of the zip file

Hope it works for you guys

 

it seems that when trying to save in a shared space such as onedrive or google docs it can not be compressed. Saving this to the C drive directly works. I used the unity program folders.

 

Got same problem

 

in my case: there was a problem in the files, so I delete the template "com.unity.template.lego" from (" C:\Users\MyPC\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub\Templates ") and install the template again and the problem soleved.

 

Just running into this error now first time ever, trying to create a Unity URP project. There seems to be no option to check for Unity Hub updates in the hub itself.

 

it seems to have to do with the path where it is saved

It worked for me to put a shorter name

I suppose that if I want to give it a long name, I only have to save it on the desktop and then move the project into the folder I want and then add the new location of the project in the HUB

 

One more with the issue, had to create my project "p" and then it worked. Renamed it after it was created.

This issue only happens with the URP package for me, maybe the package name is too long that it breaks some internal string or something like that.

My version: 2020.3.14f1
But I remember having this issue with previous versiosn too.

 

Not gonna lie, in my case I did, in fact, create a longer than usual project name. As soon as I renamed it to a human readable title, it worked. It's on Windows, mind you, it has limits for paths, I ran into problems like that before while doing other things than Unity things.

 

The irritating thing for me though is that with the release of Windows 10 1607(*) (i.e. five years ago) Microsoft removed the 260 character limit. But, long paths are disabled by default - a group policy change or registry edit is needed to actually enable them - and apps also need updating so that Windows knows they are able to use long-paths.

All this is moot though because as far as I'm aware nether the Unity editor nor player have been changed to be long-path aware.

I changed the project folder path and it resolved this issue for me after hours of headache. Thanks guys!

 

I have the exact same problem in unity hub 3.0
I have unity editor version 2020.3.19f1 LTS
Does anybody know the answer to this?


AHHHHHH! So annoying!

 

Not sure if this is a fix, but I just double clicked a scene file and it opened Unity on it's own without the need for the screwed up hub.

 

Just creating a project in a temp folder with not too many characters in the path did the trick for me.. (eg c:\tempfolder\myproject) then you close the project, move the whole thing to where you really want it stored on your driver.

Pretty dumb that this issue still exists in the latest Unity hub tbh.

 

Just shorten the path where you are saving the Unity projects and try not to include spaces in your project name. Worked for me.

 

Brief update if any one has encounter this recently from a new update or installation when putting in a new project name do not put a space between make it all 1 word for some reason this works fine in the latest version Unity Hub 3.0.1.

 

I also encountered this problem. I just reselect my project location at rename my project and it works fine again.

 

so happy i found this thread, saved me lot time

The issue was indeed that the path was long, shorten it fixed

 

No matter what I try cant get it working, any other ideas?

 

Creating a project with a single letter works as suggested above. Hope this gets a fix soon @richardkettlewell

 

Can someone help me with this error?
I'm trying to use version 2019.2.4 but I get this everytime I want to create a new project. Getting shorter names, shorter paths, unistall and reinstall and nothing seems to work.

 

Name your project one letter, that was the only thing that got me back to working.

 

I have just got the same message and i e-mailed unity and they said try no spaces in the file name

 

Nothing is working for me, I'm on 2020.3.30f1. I've restarted my computer, shortened the path length, made the file name very short, nothing is working. I've read through this thread and I've shortened the file path like everyone said worked but it's still giving me the error. I need help

 

I've done that but it didn't work

 

Using Unity Hub 3.1.1 and Unity version 2020.3.31f1 and got this issue like others as well, but I just realized that I didn't pay attention to the default version of Unity above that got set automatically when creating a new project which was 2020.3.32f1 so I changed it to the correct installed Unity version on my laptop 2020.3.31f1 and it worked fine, I hope this helps.

 

I still have this issue in 3.1.1 and 2021.3.1f1

 

Same problem here: Unity Hub 3.1.2, using Unity 2020.3.30 (LTS), project path is under 75 characters (75 characters is way too low if that's still the limit). Restarting Unity Hub didn't help. Uninstalling that editor version and installing 2020.3.33f1 didn't help either. No spaces in the name didn't help................

 

Thanks, this method helped me

 

Bro how to fixed failed to resolve project template unity

 

I solved this problem. In my case was the version that i was using for create the project, that (i don't know why) unityHub was using an old disinstalled version. When you click "New Project", on top of the window you can change "Editor Version". Choose a version that you have installed, and all will work (or at least in my case was that).
Sorry for bad english, hope is understable.

 

Ok so Im not sure who has said this yet, but what worked for me, (using version 2019.2.6f1) was just uninstalling Unity Hub and running unity on its own. it's not the most optimal, but it does work. take this from someone who isn't actually making a game lol

 

for me, i uninstalled unity hub and ran unity on its own
