Unity Hub sucks!

If its installed, you can just tell hub where to look for it and it should work fine.

 

from a text-based config file? what i did was copying the whole 5.5 folder in the same place 2019.x and 2018.x are or were, and nothing happened....

 

There's a "Locate" button in the installs tab.

Be warned, the Hub team wasn't able to implement that properly, so you can't uninstall editors added that way. Finding and running Uninstall.exe next to Unity.exe was apparently not a viable solution.

 

I was hoping that hub was able to manage 2 separate instances of the same Unity version. Is there a way?

 

I'm new here. It's funny. I clicked "get unity" and it showed me page with no choice at all: "install from hub" or "download hub". As if "get killed by shot" or "get killed by hanging". So, because I don't know what the f*** Hub is and why the f*** I need The Mighty Hub, I clicked "Learn more about Hub" on the deceitful "Download" page.

And it again, ARROGANTLY not showed me in a respectable way document explaining reason why I need this, but redirected straight to the forum where I spotted first post named "Unity Hub sucks!". Haha. As I suspected from the very start - according to new fashion - Hub is another level of spying, collecting personal data and controlling user's computer to "improve user experience".

Tell me I'm wrong and I can't create game without Hub, because it brings so much value to user, being must-have creativity tool.

 

You won't be a member of this forum too long with this... just sayin'

 

I'm a new user. Well, I had downloaded Unity a while back but didn't play with it much before I got distracted by paying jobs. I figured I'd remove the old install and start again with the newest version. Big mistake, now it's been two days and the Hub keeps crapping out on me. It reminds me of dealing with Origin when my kid wanted to play SIMS 3... A custom downloader that can't really download.

Unity is allegedly an amazing system but I can't even get it installed now. Is there a timeline of when this Hub thing will be made functional? Or some tutorial for installing Unity without it (rather than dead links and snotty comments about how people in other countries should change the world to get better internet)?

All I want is to make a stupid mobile game. Maybe earn $100k so you can get paid too. Looking into Unity since it is allegedly powerful yet easy to use. This Hub non-installer is not making a good first impression.

 

If you can't even get the hub to work than your are in for a treat when you actually start working on the game

Edit: but unity need to stop changing the look of it so often. It's almost like azure portal, they change something almost every day, toy never find a feature in the same place twice

 

Is this a recommendation to use a different product?

I don't consider it to be a personal failure that the thing can't perform its main function... Is Unity as a whole very buggy?

EDIT: Whining on the internet magically helped! After yet another (very long, slow) attempt I have successfully downloaded and installed 2019.2.12f1 using the Hub. I am relieved (until I have to update), but this still needs work.

 

What doesnt work?? normally you download hub hit install off it goes.. if you download the non hub installer that should work too, as thats what I have to do due to some limitations on a work machine..

 

Thank you!

 

one of the reason why we still stay with 18 is unity hub, it really sucks, one thing that bug me the most is if install location was not default, any not LTS version will not run, i hav to install at least one LTS in the default editor location, then manually install the not-LTS version in the same default location, then the not-LTS version can run. and i m using 2.48 hub. all in all, its boil down to the user experience of using hub in the end, if i could rate hub, i would give 0/5 no doubt

 

I can't say I ever had to complain about Unity hub. And I'm certainly rather happy to have one place where I can start all my projects. I don't know if you've ever had to juggle with multiple versions of Unity before unity hub existed, but quite frankly I don't have any desire to go back to that time. Is Unity Hub perfect? certainly not. Is it worth a 0/5? Not in my book. I'm not using the default install location and never experienced any problems. I currently have 11 versions of Unity from 5.6.1 to 19.4.17LTS and have not had any problems.

 

Unity hub can only logon when I downgrade it to a 2.x version. Then it sadly auto-upgrades to a non-functional version later.

Sadly the current edition of Unity hub is similar to if the mcp from the Tron movies was an extremely dysfunctional tard. ("no, can't open the projects because the tard app is in the way!")

That sort of software quality problem is what happens when companies hire cheaper third world code copy/pasters from india and similar.

 

Locking this thread because it just results in insulting replies without constructive criticism, as above. If you do still have a hub issue then please reach out with a new post, but keep the replies constructive without insults. Thanks everyone!
