Resolved NotSupportedException: Encoding 1252 data could not be found (2020.2.3.f1)

Hi folks,

I ran into the following problem (On 2020.2.3.f1 - MacOS):

NotSupportedException: Encoding 1252 data could not be found. Make sure you have the correct international codeset assembly installed and enabled.

From some very old posts on the web, I found that I have to put the I18N.dlls into my project, but this gave me then this problem:

InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in I18N.Common.Manager:get_PrimaryManager (): IL_0000: ret

From the internet, it looks like it is a MySql problem.

In the editor, it runs fine.

Anyone has an idea, please? I have attached the 2 logs with and without the dlls.

Any hint is highly appreciated.
Thanks, Slarti

PS: Btw, I am aware of that last line:

Internal: deleting an allocation that is older than its permitted lifetime of 4 frames (age = 11)

which I haven't found out where it occurs. It didn't show up in the previous version.

 

Yes, you can tell from the stack trace that this is happening inside your MySql connection (via World.cs, ComponentSystemBase.cs, DatabaseToList.cs, etc.).

If you have control over this MySQL database, you should try changing its encoding to UTF-8. Encoding 1252 is an ancient beast.

 

thanks @JoeStrout

The DB is using utf8mb4_general_ci. My guess is that Unity is requesting in 1252???

Well, I found now the solution. https://answers.unity.com/questions/1756912/invalid-il-code-in-build.html

Quite recent as well. I didn't see that before, as I had no filter in my search.

In order to work, you have to copy the l18N.dll and the i18N.West.dll into your assets from Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.15f1\Editor\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono\unityjit

use unityjit and not unity, as the later one doesn't work.

I wonder if there is something for Unity to do, or if this is an exception when using DB queries, so they don't have to do something about this.

Thanks for the answer.

I was trying to create a font using iText7 and got that error for some reason.

PdfFontFactory.CreateFont("roboto_regular.ttf",true)

Now it works thanks to Slarti-42

 

It worked for me, thank you so much!

 

Worked for me too, thanks a lot.

 

worked for me also

 

thanks!

 

A mi también me funciono, puse las dll en una carpeta 'Plugins' en Assets de mi proyecto. Una locura que esto este pasando

 

i have the same exception, it raises on connection.open with mssql, i fixed the problem on windows by copying l18N.dll and i18N.West.dll from unityjit-win32 folder but the issue continues on android, any ideas on fixing it?

 

I just finished running into this issue as well and the fix worked for me. Make sure you import the two DLL files within Unity so it shows up in your project. Thanks!
