I opened MegaCity and and entire project is pink(missing shaders)

I'm using 2019.1.0b7 for the project as suggested for the megacity project. But have a look at the project when I open it...it's missing shaders. No errors as far as I can see.

How I fix this pink city???

 

Install the required packages eg HDRP or try opening from HDRP template project

 

Neither of these should be needed, the project should run as is. If you install HDRP manually or put it on HDRP template, you may end up in the situation that OP is at atm.

You should just extract the zip to a new folder and open it with 2019.1.0b7 as is. MegaCity has HDRP 5.8.2-preview on it's dependencies so it'll install it automatically.

 

One thing that has already worked for me in a different project is the fix mentioned in https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...pink-when-they-are-upgraded-to-hdrp-materials.
“Navigate to Edit -> Render Pipeline and select "Upgrade materials to URP"

 

But Megacity materials are already configured for HDRP. I tested this the other day and can confirm it opened up just fine without no need to manually change anything:

 

what do you mean by extract the zip to a new folder? This is kind of confusing. I mean moving the data to empty folder will fix the problem? I have same Unity version and I don't think it works as it is

 

where did you download megacity from? The official blog post for Megacity or it's so other source like Github(if available there)

 

Scroll at the end of this page and you'll find a download link: https://unity.com/megacity

 

Your data is already corrupt from your past attempts so moving files is not likely to help. Extract the original zip again.

 

downloaded from same place

 

I have done it multiple times & I downloaded the zip with IDM download manager. I don't think there was any problem with downloading the zip file

 

Just to make sure, are you testing this on windows? I'm not sure if other platforms are supported even.

 

@rz_0lento yes I'm on windows

 

I dunno, make sure you truly extract to a new folder, so there's no old library folder present etc. I just tried this few days ago. Extracted the zip to a new folder, added that project to Hub, opened it with 2019.1.0b7 and it all worked fine.

Also make sure you truly have it open on 2019.1.0b7 and not in some other engine version (like 2019.3.0b7 etc).

 

yaa I know. I downloaded the compatible version

 

Hi.

I can't find that version. The official 2019.1 Beta page send me to Unity 2019.1.0f1. Do you remember where you downloaded it?

Thanks.

 

This should work: https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/2021.1.0b7 just hit "install with hub" from that page and it'll install it using Unity Hub

 

Thanks but that's the 2021 beta ^^'. I'm looking for the 2019 but I don't think it's still available.

Do you know where I could find an updated MegaCity project? It doesn't compiles on anything else than the 2019b it was made on.

 

Oops that was just a typo. Try https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/2019.1.0b7 You can use the same naming pattern for all betas (for alphas you can just swap the word beta to alpha).

 

I finally made it work.

Thanks a lot, without your help it wouldn't have been possible.

I don't get why unity make their demo project that messy to use. Not only did I need a hard to find beta editor but I also had to jump through hoops to reinstall the deprecated Burst in a non functioning Package Manager.

Here is the line to paste instead of the old one in the manifest.json.

"com.unity.burst": "1.5.3",

 

Same here - that made it work for me as well. Thank you so much, guys!
