Bug globalgamemanagers.assets is corrupted in standalone build

Hello,

Building a standalone build with addressables, building the game with unity and starting it returns this error:

The file 'C:/Build/Game_Data/globalgamemanagers.assets' is corrupted! Remove it and launch unity again!

I couldn't pinpoint what change in history broke the build (it used to work fine), and have no idea how I could debug what is causing this problem.

The bundle files look like previous working builds and doesn't seem to suggest anything wrong:


Is there a way to test these files one by one and at least narrow down the broken file?

This error occurs both with version 1.13.1 and 1.15.1.

 

Hello,

I went a bit deeper on this issue and started from a working Unity version + git commit went ahead until the build broke.

The switch from 2020.2.0a19 to 2020.2.0a21 broke our build, returning the "globalgamemanagers.assets is corrupted" message.

How can we move to solve this issue?

 

Did you manage to solve the issue @b4gn0 ? I'm experiencing the same issue after upgrading to 2020.2.0f1 (also getting this issue with the latest 2020.2.1f1): Launching the game results in an instant crash and the log provides the error

The file 'C:/.../Game/Game_Data/globalgamemanagers.assets' is corrupted! Remove it and launch unity again!
[Position out of bounds!]

Everything was working fine with 2020.1.16f1. I'm not even using addressables, so it's apparently not related to that. I'm using IL2CPP, .NET 4, HDRP, New Input System and latest UIToolkit if that matters...

 

Exactly the same here, only started happening once I upgraded and added burst

 

Also experiencing this. I tried removing UI Toolkit and my project builds and runs.

 

@DrSeltsam Unity followed up on this thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/bui...2-0a21-completely-broken.969585/#post-6309963

They ninja-fixed it without adding it to changelog a couple versions later.

I'm lucky the build seems to work on my side, although I'm having strange behaviour with metallic maps right now, maybe it's correlated?

Nice to know that UI Toolkit might be responsible for this.

 

Yep, same problem here. Very strange.

It was actually working earlier today. Hm.

Completely empty project. Delete the entire packages manifest file.

Add in com.unity.ui and HDRP.

Build and run using the default SampleScene.

Crashes.

"globalgamemanagers.assets is corrupted! Remove it and launch unity again!"

I'll try with IL2CPP build but I doubt that will help.

Edit: For those using DOTS (HybridRenderer or plain Entities) with UIToolkit, try the last few paragraphs of this:

Seeing this issue in 2020.3.5f1. Using Addressables, Burst, TMPro, Odin and little else.

 

Same issue 2020.3.5f1

 

It looks like a scriptable error caused by a missing script.
I'm using the URP Pipeline.
After I found out that the script for asset was missing, I tried resetting the script and Reimport to no avail.
After recreating the .asset it works fine. Packed the APK and ran the game successfully

 

Removing Burst from my package list results in a working standalone build for me 2020.3.6f1

 

Same error on 2020.3.11 lts. Removing Burst not helping.

 

Same error 2021.3.0 webGL
