Bug Newly created project from 3D(URP) template reports errors

Unity Editor version: 2021.3.12f1c1 (on Windows)
The errors reported:

 

Same error. I update my project form 2021.3.11.

 

I also got this error after updating my project from 2021.3.12

 

Same error, 2021.3.12
I try create a new project from the template "3D sample scene(HDRP)", also has the error

 

2021.3.12f1c1 has bug
update to 2021.3.12f1c2 can resolve this issue

 

Thank you very much! This problem has been bothering me for two days.

 

Also a lot of errors in 2022.1.21f1
Any resolution to this?
Also where can these c1 / c2 versions be found?

Just noticed that 2022.1.21 is not on the release archive.
Nevertheless this is what the Hub installs as the newest.

 

c2 is 2021.3.12f1's sub version，you can find it in Unity Hub. I suggest you use the 2021 LTS version

 

Exact same issue here on 2022.1.2.21f1 (which is the latest version). I did a complete clean install of the Hub and Unity. Then I downloaded the 3D (URP) template and created a new project. This leads to the exact same errors people are posting above. The template seems to be completely busted. Downloaded 2022.1.2.20f1 now and it doesn't have the problem. Instead I get the "materials were created with an older version of URP" warning though.

Can someone tag a developer in here or something like that? This seems extremely urgent. You literally can't create new URP projects with the newest version.

 

I'm getting similar behavior on creating a new project using the 2D (URP) Core template (2022.1.21f1). Most of the error messages I see are slightly different than OP, so not sure if this should be in a separate thread.

Most of the errors follow the pattern

Asset Packages/path/to/file has no meta file, but it's in an immutable folder. The asset will be ignored.

.

There are two CS errors:

• error CS0103: The name 'MaterialAccess' does not exist in the current context

• error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'BuiltInShaderGraphSaveContext' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The remaining errors are

TLS Allocator ALLOC_TEMP_TLS, underlying allocator ALLOC_TEMP_MAIN has unfreed allocations, size 328

Here is the complete list, as displayed in Safe Mode:

@Jonas-Mortensen @ali_mohebali @eduardooriz @dnach @UnityJuju @Cristianamoraruu
getting the same error on 2022.1.21f1
how to reproduce -> just use unity version mentioned above and try creating 3d URP template project
tried everything: reinstall the same version, reimport everything, remove and reimport libraries, clearing any caches etc... Error still in place, please fix this in next release, this is a critical BUG for all those who are going to upgrade

 

I am also experiencing this issue on the latest version of Unity 2022.1.21f1 - I have no idea how to start using the newest version for my new project. Any help on this would be much appreciated!

 

so every time we want to create new proj. with this version we need to do this?? also pls confirm is this a bug? @phil_lira

 

tried to reinstall urp package and clear pack. manager cache, no result @phil_lira

 

yes, no changes, error remains

 

@arttu_p
Things I have tried:

• deleting the Library/PackageCache directory, deleting
• deleting C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Unity\cache
• reinstalled all corresponding packages and installed again
• reinstalled Unity version 2022.1.21f1
• restarted Unity many times, recreated project several times usin 3d URP template

issue still there, should we add this to BUG backlog?
also will this be fixed in next release?

errors I have, after clearing console those 2 remains, after I refresh unity window got also list of other errors

 

ok

 

Just installed the 2022.1.21f1 version and, surprise, I've the same, identical situation described by @Kaymax

 

yes this is a major bug if most of us having right away after creating new project

 

I have deleted every single trace of Unity on my computer, re-installed and still got the error messages. And I have just installed Unity on a new machine and it also doesn't work. A few other people I know are reporting the exact same issue. The newest version simply does not work with the URP templates. It can be reproduced by simply installing it and making a new URP project, which will lead to errors without fail on every machine I tried.

As far as I can tell this has to be a major bug on Unity's side. I mean, you just can't make a new project if you install the newest version, but for some reason .20f1 worked for me.

 

If the error in the OP is the same as the one happening in 2022.1.21f then Unity has been aware of this and a fix is coming on Nov 9th.

hey boys, hey girls, I have already created detailed bug report with screenshots most likely they will fix in upcoming release

 

+1 for 2022.1.21f1 . frustrating because i only updated to this version per Unity's recommendation and it breaks the template. already uninstalled my previous version and now I have to waste time reinstalling it.

 

Same thing here. Waiting for new 2022 version with a fix.
Not sure how u guys pushed update with such huge bug XD

 

Same here. Core HDRP template or 3D Sample Scene (HDRP) throws same errors and demands safe mode.

2022.1.21f1

 

Same error here with URP and unity version 2022.1.21f1. Hope this gets fixed soon.

 

Just a quick +1 on this - just udpated to 2022.1.21 and have got the same problem when installing URP package. Tried deleting cache etc.

 

Same issue

 

I downloaded the "Official Release" for 2022 just a bit earlier this morning (ie 2022.1.21f1) on Unity Hub, and got this same error when I created my first new project.

I came here and saw the post from btsn saying the fix was coming today with the new version release, 2022.1.22f1.

I checked Unity Hub again (less than an hour after the first installation) and found the "Official Release" for Unity 2022 had updated to 2022.1.22f1. I downloaded this version, and opened the same project I had created in 21f1, in the new version, 22f1, and it worked just fine.

Sometimes, timing is everything. If you're using Unity 2022.1.21f and you get this error, the new release is available on Unity Hub now, and it appears to resolve the issue

 

I'm experiencing the same issue in a fresh project (both URP Sample project and blank project + installing the URP package) in Unity 2022.1.22f1. Can confirm that the meta files are still missing in the PackageCache folder - ie.

not good.... I thought this will be fixed in 22f1 .... alas...
@phil_lira

 

Same problem here, with 2022.1.21f1

Updating to 2022.1.23f1 fixed all issues.

 

My Solution That Took Me More Than A Year To Find - LOL

I don't know if anyone still has this issue but I still had it. It bothered me for more than a year. Today, I solved it. The only version that worked for me was Unity 2021.3.4f1 and nothing else worked. Today I checked where all the Unity versions are installed. To my suprise, only 2021.3.4f1 was installed in Program Files and others were in completely unrelated folders. Reinstalling was not fixing my problems with URP because Unity Hub saved that unrelated folder as default and I was installing all new versions there.

Today I simply changed install location to Program Files again. Now it works.

This might not be the issue for everyone but It was for me and It was annoying for a very long time. Just check where the working version is and install new versions there as well.
