    When developing multiplayer games I've used symlinks with great success on both MacOS and Windows.
    With 2018.3 I'm getting errors on MacOS (still works on the Windows version) like

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. error CS2011: Unable to open response file: Temp/UnityTempFile-b22c873c7ae094d91b6cd65ce970e2f4
    3.  
    or

    Code (CSharp):

    Since having two editors running for multiplayer development greatly speeds up the work flow I'd really like to get it working again somehow!

    I tried creating a new project and it worked. I'm not sure what the problem is with my current project since the Windows version works fine but it fails on MacOS.

    Could it be a permission issue when Unity creates the temp/ folder?

    We actually have a bug logged about this that could be related. I'll try to get it public and will post an update here once I know more. Stay tuned.

    So it looks like the report we have logged for this is exclusive to 2019.1 because we weren't able to reproduce the problem in 2018.3. Is there a chance you could provide us with your project and a bug report?

    Sorry for the late reply. I was about to create a bug report but when I opened the project in 2018.3.0b6 it seemed to work again?

    I had a few cloned projects where I would get the error and they all seem to work again.

    I didn't change anything so either the upgrade process or an actual fix corrected this.

    Thanks for that.
