macOS 10.15.3 (Catalina) Latest Crashes when Unity is launched.

I am currently facing a strange issue. When Unity is started to open a previously created project it cause crash to macOS Catalina 10.15.3 (the OS) kernel panic. I was on an older version and I have updated the macOS, I am sure there isn't any hardware problem with my MacBook because the crash happens only and only when I open the project.
Unity Version is 2019.3.1

 

Same for me with a MacBook Pro. Catalina 10.15.1. A new empty project works, but a previously created project crash the OS completely when changing unity panel focus. (Going from GameView to SceneView crash the OS)

Same thing with 2019.3.2f1

 

Deleting the content of the ProjectSettings folder and Packages folder + Library again (and Temp) seems to have fix the crash for now.

 

ProjectSettings folder should never be deleted as it includes all the tags and layers information. My Project isn't really big but I just can't delete settings because I am using a 3rd party extension in it and I am not aware how it's handling different project settings.

 

I agree, this is why I'm updating our project to Unity 2019.3 in a separate branch to identify the bugs and resolve them before going forward. We have a big project but aren't using layers/tags. I only have to reconfigure all our platform specific settings in our case.

 

I having the same issue with 2019.3.7f any ideas of a permanent fix? I am struggling with the fact that 2018.7.20f doesn't support the features I need and now I'm hitting this crashing issue.

 

Same here. Pls help.

 

same here

 

Same here.

 

Same here. macOS 10.14 or 10.15.4, 10.15.5 all...

 

Same here. macOS 10.15.5. Unity 2019.4.1f1 personal.

 

Update, Removing project settings (or do everything except the Assets folder), and this fixes it for me.
- Its a pain, i know, especially when you forget and open an older project or one from another person, but at last a way around it has been found.

 

same. I used 10.15.5 MacOS and 2020.4.4f Unity.
Every time I start the Unity, it makes my computer crash.
I can not do anything. Can anybody help?
it really upsets me a lot.

 

Do you find anything helpful? I just thought I could work if I upgraded Unity, but the problem was still there

 

I was using the ML-Agents package, I updated the package, and removed unused packages as well. I am also using Unity 2020.1.0b15 now.

So, far I have not faced the issue again. I can not fully confirm though as I am not working on the project that much.

 

Thanks a lot. This worked for me. I am trying to run the Playground project in 2019.4 in MacOS Catalina 10.15.6. I suspect the issue is due to some [Preview Packages] that are added as part of the "Playground" project. Deleting the contents as above and reopening seems to solve the issue.

 

Facing the same issue, especially working on an old project in the new editor 2019.3 or 2020.1. Any solutions? TIA
