Unity Beta 13 Available!

Unity 5.0 beta 13 is now available for download: http://unity3d.com/unity/beta/5.0

Please report bugs as usual: http://unity3d.com/BugReportingFAQ

Note: For UI users, while we haven't caught up completely to 4.6 current state, we found our merge issue that was causing the MissingMethodExceptions and should be fixed in this build.

 

I hope you have fixed most bugs and this version will be much better.

 

Why don't you try it?

 

I'm downloading now. Soon, I'll try. It was only my wish. Every next version should have less bugs, so I'm waiting for a new version and there's hope it will be more stable.

 

that's generally how betas work

 

Like the pace at which you publish new betas. Keep 'em coming!

 

so how do i access global fog now, it says i cant because of protection level guessing its to do with its new nest.

 

As a gentle reminder, you can massively influence the future of betas by using the bug report tool. Simply make a quick and dirty repro project and Unity staff will be in touch, and at this point in time, bugs get fixed really quickly, so it directly benefits you.

Simply mentioning it on forum most likely won't result in a bug fix for you.

 

I'll be testing Beta 13 for some time and we will see. Hope all will run well.

 

Ok. b13 here.

I cannot make dynamic or static batching to work with any shader.
The scene does not contain any lights.
Is batching supposed to work on the beta?

Edit1: It actually works but it seems the vertices limit has changed
from unity4 to unity5.

Where my models were batching on 4.5.5, on 5b13 they are not ....


Edit2: This is getting frustrating. Object has around 100 vertices, no lights, no shadows,
no dynamic stuff at all and the unlit textured shader. AND still doesn't batch!

Only the cubes created in the editor batch. Where has the vertex limit for static/dynamic batching dropped?


Edit3: the cubes will actually batch only if static on them is disabled!

 

Instead of getting 'frustrated' and whining about it on the forums, realise you are in a beta program, for a very big Unity release.

Create a repro and log a bug.

 

What about big textures? When can we expect to have support for >4k textures?

 

you mean Sparse Textures?
Sparse Textures

 

nope, I dont mean sparse textures I mean normal png/jpg file that I can use as lets say heightmap without compressing to 4k.

 

I installed this new version of unity,but for some reason whenever I try to tick off "use a serial key" it doesnt let me.
So I cant use the free version of Unity 5 beta 13.
It's off only when I am "OnMouseButtonDown"....
Maybe some addons I had in older version is affecting this one...

 

You have to use a serial key (the one you received in your invoice when you pre-ordered Unity 5) in order to use the beta 13 build. Is this not working for some reason?

 

Maybe I understood the whole beta thing wrong.
Cuz I didnt want to pre-order if that means paying for a unity pro when it gets out
I just hit download bar

 

Ah, ok! Yeah, currently the Unity 5 beta is only available for pre-order customers. There is no free version at the moment (that's why those check boxes are disabled.)

 

Is there a page where I may download (the older) Beta 13 from? I have Beta 14 and 15, but both of them throw out errors when I try to build a WebGL project. I've been reading the forums and people seem to have better results with Beta 13's WebGL building.

 

Anyone?
