Feature Request 'Unity as Library' Change Data Folder

I'm using the Unity as Library UnityLibrary.dll, and calling the UnityMain, but I really do not want the data folder next to my executable.

Can you *please* add, say, a command line option to change the data directory to a different path? Even as much as allowing me to set current directory first if you really need to.

I'm sure there would be many pleased in general if you allowed a player command line to change the data directory as well.

 

+1.
Try use unity as library but can't. Unity data search path hardcoded to main process executable, but not UnityPlayer.dll module and can't be changed.

 

"-datafolder absolutepath" not work at least for Unity 2021.3.24.
For some reason Unity still not use defined folder, but searching for "{exename}_data" in directory there exe located.
Error:

Application folder:

D:/ProjectDir/bin/Debug/net6.0

There should be 'SimpleEngine_Data'

folder next to the executable

 

> Ah darn, that was added to Unity 2022.2.

Tried this with Unity 2023.3. It did not seem to work. Is this feature actually implemented?

I couldn't find it in the command-line documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.3/Documentation/Manual/PlayerCommandLineArguments.html

EDIT: This seems to work, however without the mono runtime (MonoBleedingEdge) being in the same folder as the executable, this seems to still fail.

This folder structure Unity requires is quite rigid. Is there no hope for developers who would like to execute UnityMain from a path that's completely outside of Unity's required folder structure?
