    Yesterday this Beta was working fine, but today I can't open anything, or even create a new project.
    I've had no software updates in between.
    I've reinstalled the Beta, rebooted, and reinstalled again to no avail.
    Opening a project just has Unity crash instantly, but trying to create a new one opens the progress-bar window for a second before the crash.
    The folder for each project now has a folder named 'Temp' with a single file 'UnityLockFile', which is zero bytes in size.
    I have crash reports if you'd like them posting, but they're quite long, and I'm not sure which part would be useful.
    Please help!

    I had the same issue but after checking the logs I noticed that it was crashing due to a new version available for download, https://beta.unity3d.com/download/e1ef60e69006/UnityDownloadAssistant-2018.1.0b3.dmg

    Guessing the beta page isn't updated yet for the url but that version doesn't crash at launch.

    A workaround is also to turn off wifi or whatever connection you're using and start unity, then it will not crash at launch.

    I had this crash on starting a new project and when I started up Unity again and opened the new project it finally completed. Looks like it's crashing inside the package manager while the dialog box says "Updating packages...".
