Loading assets from assetbundles makes assets appear pink in editor.

Well that's my whole point, read the text There's a nice GUID for every asset in a project, the editor should see which shader it needs and simply use the OS X/Windows/Linux version which it already has in place of the one it fails to load.

It's unacceptable IMO not to be able to test assetbundle downloads in the editor, when all other aspects are testable. It's a very quick and convenient way to test that your mobile app works before building and deploying.

 

I don't see how testing mobile asset bundles in an editor environment would render any meaningful results. You still need to test whether it works on a device (or at least a simulated device) so why bother testing it twice?

 

Thank you very much!

 

I'm playing getting over it on windows 7 and the screen and text have turned into pink boxes. any suggestions how to fix it.

 

Use same build platform for create and load assets. If you create Asset Bundles for Android, and then you load them from a Standalone Editor, you should have issues like that.

 

Thank you very much. That's exactly the problem we were facing and now it is fixed.
