    Hi,

    I upgraded to the latest 2022 beta and I get this error:

    Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@4.0.0-pre.1/Scripts/Runtime/TMP_Text.cs(2943,35): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'uint[]' to 'int[]'

    Also, 4.0.0 has been in pre.1 for about a year. Is there going to be a update soon where it gets released?

    Thanks!

    As per the "Upgrade Note", version 4.0 should only be used by UI Toolkit users who do not want to have a potential duplication of resources between TMP Font Assets and Font Asset (internal type).

    Please read the version important on that package. Again I recommend using version 3.2.0-pre.3.

    Hi,

    I don’t understand. I am a UIToolkit user and I am using 4.0.0 for this reason. I just updated from 2022.1 beta to the latest 2022.2 beta and got the error.

    Is 4.0.0 not compatible with 2022.2?

    In Unity 2021, UI Toolkit was a package. In Unity 2022, UI Toolkit is now part of the Editor where as such and if (and only if) you wish to avoid having to use TMP_FontAssets for TMP and FontAsset for UI Toolkit, then you should use version 4.0.0.

    However, in my opinion, it is not worth going through the process of converting all TMP_FontAssets to the new internal FontAsset format and losing access to source code on those assets just to avoid having to use dedicated assets for TMP and UITK.

    Therefore, I recommend continuing to use version 3.2.0-pre.3 for TMP and when using UITK creating FontAssets.

    Sorry, I am completely confused. I probably am not saying this correctly, my bad =(

    Previous State
    1. I am using 2022.1 beta.
    2. I am using UIToolkit built-in, not the package.
    3. I am using 4.0.0 pre1
    Everything is working perfectly with above.

    Current State
    1. Update to 2022.2 beta.
    2. I get the error in my original post.
    It seems 4.0.0 has an issue with 2022.2 beta. Does this require a bug report or is 4.0.0 not compatible with 2022.2?

    Again, sorry for the confusion :(

    Thank you for the clarification and sorry about the confusion.

    Please do submit a bug report. Independently of the report, I'll take a look on my end and let you know what I find.

    Bug Report for OP Issue: IN-17553

    Bug Report for "Cannot Rename Front Sprites" Issue: IN-17556

    You just have to import TMP 4.0.0 into the 2022.2 beta and the error will show :)

    Thanks!
