Unable to load assetbundle in Unity 5.5

Hi everyone,

I'm having troubles with testing AssetBundles in Unity 5.5.4f1. I'm trying to load data from a file and not from the server. I searched similar problems but could not found any related to Unity 5.5 or newer.

Using directly AssetBundle (LoadFromFile/Async) I keep getting following error:

Code (CSharp):

1. Unable to open archive file: D:/Projects/AssetBundlesExample/Assets/StreamingAssets/biomebundle1

I have imported AssetBundleManager plugin, where I have built AssetBundles and copied them from
"AssetBundlesExample\AssetBundles\Windows" to "AssetBundlesExample\Assets\StreamingAssets".

Later then, I tried to use AssetBundleManager. Using Simulation mode I keep getting following error:

Code (CSharp):

1. [AssetBundleManager] There is no asset with name "biome1" in biomebundle1
2. UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
3. AssetBundles.AssetBundleManager:Log(LogType, String) (at Assets/AssetBundleManager/AssetBundleManager.cs:127)
4. AssetBundles.AssetBundleManager:LoadAssetAsync(String, String, Type) (at Assets/AssetBundleManager/AssetBundleManager.cs:602)

If I disable simulation mode, still I have following error:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. AssetBundles.AssetBundleManager.RemapVariantName (System.String assetBundleName) (at Assets/AssetBundleManager/AssetBundleManager.cs:372)

In RemapVariantName, method "m_AssetBundleManifest.GetAllAssetBundlesWithVariant()" throws null reference.

I even tried AssetBundleManager in Unity 2017.2, however many other errors occur.
So I have multiple questions.

• How to use correctly AssetBundles (Load from file) in Unity 5.5 or 5.6?
• Which Unity version should I use?
• Should I use AssetBundlesManager, low-level API or some other asset (like Remote Package Manager or Asset Bundle Magic)?

 

Were you able to solve the issue?
