Package Manager forever "Loading packages ..."

Hope this helps fix this, I need to have a project done by the end of September and this is hindering my progress.

 

Going through this thread, I just fixed this issue! I searched for firewall in windows and went to "Allow an app to go through firewall" and then allowed private and public network for unity there.

 

Now the site still be reachable? I cant open it..

 

I disabled my firewall temporarily and this fixed it for me! It's strange that I had to disable it though, the version of unity I'm using currently is already white-listed with my firewall...

 

Hello i got this problem too using unity 2019.1.8f1. me from indonesia any update?

 

Hi there, I also encountered the same issues described before and ran the UPM Diagnostic software.

It seems like I can't even connect to the UPM package repository, even though my proxy settings are set.

 

You guessed it right @maximeb_unity.

I'll do that and keep you informed if anything gets solved.

 

close the network connection before open the project,and reopen the network when you download the packages works for me

 

Days ago I installed SteamVR asset, asked me to install it manually from package manager, after I tried, I faced many problems from connecting to package manager server, I change my unity to 2019 got the error and then back to 2018 2f and still, I have time out / server errors of package manager.
I tried :
@echo off
set HTTP_PROXY=proxy-url
set HTTPS_PROXY=proxy-url
UNITY_NOPROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1

but it just allows unity to open and then still I see the error in the editor.
I disabled firewall and antivirus

please, any suggestion, what should I do?

 

Had this issue in 2019.2.9f1.

To fix I reset the packages to default. Closed the Package Manager window and reopened.

Hope it helps some people.

 

Must add that going offline and opening the project helps. it shows you the list. All you need to do then is go online and download the package.

 

I have a solution for loading forever:

1.close unity
2.disable internet connection
3.open unity
4.open Package Manager
5.wait for a while and you will find all the packages show in the list
6.enable your internet when you want to download some packages.

Hope it can help someone.

 

you saved me man, thanks

 

I am using 2019.2.11 and it takes forever on loading packages thats annoying

 

This worked for me... thank you.

PAINFUL the hoops we jump through now.

 

It hangs on Measuring the latency of UPM packacge API... I have deleted the manifest json, it still doesnt work! I am using the latest version on Unity.

 

@samuelb_unity

PLEASE HELP!

 

I've let the team know so they should be able to respond with an update once they can.

 

@UnityMaru

Hi, could you also request the .tgz file for ProBuilder's most recent version? For some reason I get stuck forever on downloading it (literally hours of waiting) - I can see all the packages in Package Manager but they get stuck forever when i try to download them.

 

Thanks buddy, this solutions works just fine. Somebody please put it on top of forum.

 

Open the package manager, and if it still shows loading forever, try to disconnect the internet.
Wait for a few seconds, It will list all the packages. Reconnect now and download them. This works for me.

 

I am having this problem after updating a unity 2018 project to 2020. Never had the issue before that. Just says fetching packages endlessly. I tried disabling internet connection and launching unity but still fetching packages forever.

 

Have you checked out the thread pinned about connection issues? Some of the fixes there may resolve your issue.

 

well now there is no more bintray

 

Hi @maximeb_unity @UnityMaru
please look at the Package manager window. it's not working properly and does not show the text and data in the packager manager. we use unity Version 2020.3.32f1 and MacOS version Ventura 13.1

 

Greetings from the future, several years after this thread was started...

Same problem, after installing SteamVR, the primary project I'm working on is stuck on "Fetching packages and features..."
Refreshing packages and features...

It's worth noting that a NEW project that I created doesn't have this problem.

Edit: I tried the "turning off the network connection" trick for five minutes...didn't work.

 

I'm also having this problem now. With 2022.3.6f1. The package manager will get stuck "Checking for Updates" and there will be a circle icon next to each package.

Error is:
[Package Manager Window] Error while getting product update details: Something went wrong. Please try again later. [Error 0
UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClientone (UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient/State,int)

To fix it I had to disable my windows firewall even though the exe for the editor is whitelisted, what's going on?
Update: correction, problem is back, even with firewalls till off.
Update2: Switching between Unity Registry and My Assets seems to help it.

 

It seems undocking and docking the Package Manager sometimes helps. Buts its not really useable right now.

 

Same problem here, Unity 2022.3.7f1. Here I am again unable to continue working. I'm losing another share of hours just after I've already lost 2 days with UI anchors bugs in 2022.3.4f1 and a bug with Unity Hub 3.5.0 (latest version atm) not logging in (had to look for and install Unity Hub 2).

Please somebody enlighten me, why do things already working fine get broken with new versions, when those things don't even get worked on?

 

Same here.

 

Same here.

 

I had the same problem. I now got it to work by removing and reactivating the Unity license in the hub. Maybe something you can also try but maybe it was only luck. 2022.3.7f1

 

Same issue here, flared up since I updated to 2022.3.4f1 I believe but can't be bothered to redownload an old release and check since Hub is allergic to letting you download archive versions and I don't feel like going to Unity's homepage for it. Happens in all projects including clean ones. OCCASIONALLY, reloading the layout to default or re-docking the package manager window fixes the issue. Also sometimes the refresh button shows down on the left panel - can then click cancel on it or so and it un-lags the package manager.
Not managed to find a good fix for it yet but it's incredibly annoying and loses me precious work hours, especially when working with packages regularly.

 

Same problem here. Takes ages to load. 2022.3.7

 

Found a workaround but it's dumb as hell. Swap the package manager to "Unity Registry" instead of your assets.
Then swap back to "My assets". If doesn't work on the first time close package manager, then re-open.

I think what happens is the package manager starts the loading/refresh cycle and doesn't stop it after actually loading the data and being ready to display it.
