New Project defaults to 2D Mode

As it says in the title. Whenever I create a new project through the launcher, even though I select 3D mode as the preferred project setting, it always defaults to 2D.

Thankfully, this doesn't persist, and isn't a critical issue, because I can easily switch to 3D mode through Edit->Project Settings->Editor: "Default Behaviour Mode". And then it stays that way.

But it's a bit of a nuisance to have to do this whenever I create a new project. Which isn't often, but it's often enough that I have to go through this at least once a week, at least so far (we manage each subsystem in its own project). It's a first world problem if anything.

Has anyone else had this prop up?

 

Can confirm. New projects start Editor in 2D mode even when 3D is selected.

 

This is what I was referring to in the first paragraph. This doesn't work. 3D is the default one selected, then it starts in 2D mode regardless of what I selected.

There wasn't much else to put in the report, other than what's already in this thread. Hope it helps though.

 

Any news on this? this bug is so annoying.

 

@HankySpanky Are you able to link the bug so we can vote on it in the Issue Tracker? all I can find is https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...-in-2d-even-when-selecting-3d-as-default-mode which says Fixed in 4.3

 

Crap, sorry. Whenever I visit the forums, I forget to log in and miss alerts.

But no, I tried finding what I posted to the issue tracker on the site without luck a while back. I was hoping the issue was prominent enough for someone else to post it, who had a clue about how to navigate the issue tracker page. :S

In any case, this was still happening last time I checked. I made a new project around 20-30th of march, and it happened then. I haven't checked again after the last update though, which came out around that time and which I applied a week ago, so I don't know if it's been fixed already.

Edit: It seems to have been fixed. It's not happening for me at the moment with 5.3.4f1.

 

Does anyone know how to change a project from 2d to 3d? After the fact.

 

Yes. I mentioned that in the original post.

Edit->Project Settings->Editor: "Default Behaviour Mode", change 2D to 3D.

Any scene you create from there after will use default 3D settings.

 

I wish I'd known about that bit sooner - I've been caught by this bug a number of times as well, and resorted to deleting the project after it finished building, then re-constructing it. For the most part, that generally results in a correct project a second time.
