    Hello Unity community!

    First of all, I'd like to share that this is my first time on the forums and also trying to use Unity. I used to fool around with gamemaker back in the day and lately I was really thinking about making my own game (I have so many ideas in my head) and discovered Unity!

    So I started right away with using the tutorials and opened up the first one. The video asked me to import the 2D Platformer example, so I imported it right away, but... it totally looked differend than on the video. Here, I'll show you:

    If I'm correct, this would be a common problem. I've followed up everything and couldn't find a solution to this. So what's wrong and is there a way how I can solve this issue?

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forums!

    Looks like your GPU is having a hard time displaying the Scene view window. Things to try are to make sure you have the most up to date graphics drivers, and if you have a reasonably modern Windows machine, try running Unity in DX9 and then DX11 mode, see:

    Thanks for the reply! Yes, it seems that the textures look messed up on Unity, but when I open it with another program, it looks perfectly fine.

    My system isn't the best around, a laptop with 2gig of RAM, 700MB GPU and 2 cores on 1,8Ghz with DX 9.0c. Since 9 is the default setting for Unity I think that isn't the problem. Guess I'll have to work with lower resolution textures, seems no problem when I open up a simple sprite and I've tried a generic 3D sample to see if that worked alright, which was no problem at all.

    Guess I'll have to study the 2D Platform example without the actual file itself.

    I don't think it's the textures that are the problem. The screenshot you sent in looks completely trashed, which is usually a rendering problem. Do you have the latest graphics driver?
