    help!

    anyone have any clues as to what is going on

    easily hundreds of dollars worth of purchases that i made and paid for are no longer showing up at all as being purchased!

    I just bought some stuff today and it is not showing up as purchased and I am unable to download any of it and worse large number of items that I purchased and paid for in the past are also no longer showing up as purchased and it too I am no longer able to download any of them.

    I checked with PayPal and the transactions and funds transferred have all been successfully completed. I got email with pdf receipts for the purchases and they even show up under my account!

    But when I access the asset store the price is there, there is no option to open it in Unity or to download them and they do not show up in the asset store download manager.


    Is this a know issue with the asset store? Am I going to have to be watchful of past paid purchases disappearing?

    thanks in advance!

    If you haven't already I suggest contacting the asset store support directly. They will be able to help you much more.

    just did

    i went quickly through the list of receipts i have and i found large number of items that were paid for missing...

    in fact its a majority of my purchases gone 46/61 gone! so only 15 of 61 showing up as being bought. what a mess. well over $500 of purchases that i paid for gone until they fix it... :(

    i have no clue what is going on. they show up in my account, and i have receipts and paypal transaction history, but they do not show up at all in the asset store and in the download manager as being purchased. so i can not download them anymore and get updates! worse the ones i bought earlier today and yesterday i can not download them to begin with. older items i should have a copy from when i purchased them, but newer ones no copy...

    this is very upsetting to say the least since it easily represents hundreds of dollars.

    Alternate way around.
    Go to the asset you purchased and it will give you the option to download it. That's if you need to download it again.

    The only option it gives us is to buy it again.

    Same here. It seems to be a problem in Unity Asset Store.
    If you enter the asset store from within Unity, and locate a paid asset you can click on the down arrow (on the right side to the pay button) it offers you to download and reimport the asset. But cannot rate the assets, etc. It's like something is broken.

    Also, if you click in your account info, you can see your payment history and I think the listing is ok and complete. Have any of you checked this?

    hey wow you are the man with the workarounds. quick someone in unity hire this guy. he knows how to fix problems and make customers happy

    u r right while the dumb button still says buy and the price there is like strange little area that i can click on and get a context menu and pick download and import which is good enough for me.

    thanks i bought a bunch of stuff last night and i really really really needed to get going on it.

    so you are my friend for the moment, but dont worry i forget quickly and by tomorrow it will be boriel who?, don't know him,. if he keeps bothering call the cops! ;)

    They must be in the process of fixing it or something. That Drop down had NOT been there for me before but it is now... I knew about that drop down and had checked for it several times.

    Thanks for your compliment! :) (disclaimer, I'm not an English native speaker).
    I also got a bit concerned when I saw some of my assets apparently gone! :confused: I hope they fix it soon (already opened a ticket): I'm on a rather tight deadline and some of these assets are very important for my current project.

    Under the Windows menu item you select Asset Store. It will open the Asset Store in a new Editor Tab that you can dock anywhere in the editor or pull it out as a separate window in the event you have a Multiple Displays and want to have it open on one of your other displays.

    Don't forget that if you've previously downloaded an asset, it is stored on your hard drive as a .unitypackage that you can manually go grab to import.

    C:\Users\[NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store

    yes thanks you and while the above is true for previously downloaded assets. it does not work for updates, import, and new purchases and i just cant see too many customers being happy with the current state of the asset store.

    I'm also having this issue, looks like something got broken when the updated web version of the store went live.

    Nothing purchased from the last couple of days shows up in the in the in unity asset store list and the web version only show about 5% of my overall purchases. Older items are still listed in the in unity list but have lost purchase date info and most of the icons.

    Hopefully they'll fix this soon.

    i have all purchases shown, BUT it doesn't shows updatable assets anymore
    last week i had dozen of assets listed as "updatable".. today i have only a few... i guess it's the Assets Store being developed

    I've received a ticket response from Unity saying it's solved.
    Have checked my assets and ... voila! They are back again!
    Can anybody check it? It seems solved! :cool:

    I emailed UT about 2 months ago and warned them about this.
    I have in my Asset Store account hundreds of purchased packages and (I'm glad that just that few) 2 of these packages simply disapeared from my asset list. They didn't really trust what I was saying and I had to re-purchase those 2 packages to be able to update...

    Maybe now they'll pay serious attention to this problem.

    Well that's good ...if your a legit person ...hope its resolved quickly ... since I noticed this problem yesterday after several purchases refused to show up and it kept getting worse each time I checked...

    Now the store wont even work while in Unity ....hope the Unity peeps took it down to resolve the problem as you say..or else the problem is worse..

    I didn't see your post until after I responded to this thread ...but it seems to work now...still missing a few things but its mostly all there..

    The rating system (stars) in the purchased assets window seems not to be working yet. I rated some assets 5 starts, then exit the window and reenter again and the ratings were gone... hmmm. :-|

    while we are almost there i just checked and the fix might need a fix ;)

    "Animation Inspector" that I purchased on 2013-08-02 for
    $2 using PAYPAL, Invoice# 301263474, is still not showing up. :(

    so lasse and friends i hope you still reading these posts cause we still may need a bit for your help to see why its happening and to find a way to fix it so that it shows up...

    or is the fix working as it appears to be and is there a problem with the asset instead? did the asset get pulled / removed? i went and checked and i can no longer find it in the asset store. or is there some other bug...

    anyways i'm happy camper now, no longer running in panic screaming my assets are gone....

    still good to know what happened with that asset...

    That's a known bug 4.2.0 - networking basically dies in the editor after the first package import. You should basically stay away from 4.2.0 if using the Asset Store...

    Yeah, we're working on that but it was deemed less urgent than you being able to download your stuff... :) We should have a fix out for that sometime next week...

    Are you using 4.2.0? If so, don't... It's broken.

    That package was disabled over a copyright issue, I believe, and won't be coming back. Sorry...

    So I'm not alone in this. I emailed Assetstore and they fixed it (about 2 weeks ago), and now I can't purchase anymore. It keeps saying card declined.

    I purchased UniRPG on October 3rd and its not giving me the option to download or import.
    As you can see in the image below, this item shows as being purchased.

    $UniRPG.png


    But in this image you can see that it doesnt give me the ability to download or import. Only 'Buy $55'.
    When I click the right context menu it only gives me the ability to share or open in a browser
    $UniRPG_Purchase.png


    I purchased the Nobiax Plants on Ocotber 5th, and it properly gives me the ability to import.
    $Nobiax.png


    Not sure what this issue is with this one purchase, but I dont want to have to spend $55 to re-purchase this.

    I emailed the asset store help, and they replied with this:
    Thanks for the e-mail. Sorry to hear that you are having problems downloading your asset. Sometimes logging out, then logging back into your publishing account usually works.

    Try downloading your assets via the editor.

    1. Open Unity Engine.
    2. Click "Window" > "Asset Store".
    3. Log in
    4. Find Asset.
    5. Download Asset


    I've logged out then in...nothing. I've logged out within the unity editor and the website, then restarted my PC, booted Unity, back to the asset store and no luck.

    Not sure what the issue is, but I dont like flushing $55 down the toilet with nothing to show for it.
    Someone please help.

    On 12-9-2013 I purchased the Sci-Fi Interactive Music Volume 1 package for $45.00. Order 301356457. It no longer lists as an item that can be purchased in the store and I'm not entirely sure I have the .unitypackage file saved on my development machine.

    As the purchase is less than 90 days old, if it will no longer be hosted and I cannot download it... I'd like to know if I can get a refund for this purchase.

    Joseph.

    I've also had some problems like this one. This is very concerning: There's no warranty a purchased asset will be available in the future (in my case, the vendor change it's brand company name and the asset was reuploaded as a new one).
    Buyers should get some sort of protection against this :sad:
    As time passes I'm more and more reluctant to buy new assets...

    I just a had a problem where the product I bought through the web site asset store showed up in the web site's asset store downloads section, but not in the Unity software's asset store window. I've had that happen before and the solution was to close/reopen the asset store window or Unity. This time that didn't work, I restarted several times and nothing.

    However, I tried this and it worked: Restart Unity, open asset store (in unity, not the web site through a browser), go to the product you bought and click purchase as though you're going to buy it again from inside Unity. Then back out of it (don't proceed to checkout, choose the other option instead). This immediately refreshed the store and my purchase showed up.

    Seems the Asset Store is a bit buggy and could use some attention. From now on what I'll do is browse for products via the web site since it's easier and faster for me, but when I make the purchase I'll do it in Unity's built in asset store and not at the web site.

    What was your case number? You should get a response within 5 business days.
