    If Addressable path contains square brackets an error occurs.

    Exception encountered in operation Resource<Texture>(Name[1].jpg): Unknown error in AsyncOperation
    UnityEngine.AsyncOperation:InvokeCompletionEvent() (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/Scripting/AsyncOperation.cs:21)

    This might be already known issue, but I did not find it on forum.
    As far as I understand this issue appears because of sub object syntax.
    Not asking to fix this, simple visual warning or more specific error description would be more than enough. Figuring out wthat's wrong took a couple days =(

    Thanks. We had to spend the few days discovering this out on our own but glad to know someone already mentioned it here.

    Hey @Azirell yeah we definitely need better documentation at the very least. Have you filed a bug with Unity? It helps us keep track of things.

    Sorry, I was not sure if it is known issue, so I did not file a bug report.

    Can confirm this happens. Our prefab had square brackets in the file name, and we got that same exact error. Taking them off did fix the issue.

    I just ran into this as well, I'm on version 1.11.2 of the Addressables pkg. The error message I got:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Exception encountered in operation Resource<ScriptableObject>(RealmMap_0_[3].asset): Unable to load asset of type UnityEngine.ScriptableObject from location Core/RealmSegment/Map/RealmMap_0_3.
    2.  
    Even though there are no square brackets in the address, so long as the asset itself has square brackets in its name, it will produce this error.
