Unity Hub v2.0.0-beta versions feedback thread

Hi,
we are behind an restrictive Firewall and a Proxy.
Where can i set a proxy, user and pass and get all the needed urls for the Firewall like PackageManager, AssetStore in Editor....
Up to 2018.3.12 it it worked.
What are the changes introduced for 2019.1.0f2 ?

 

Actually, I’d like to see not just the asset store move to the Hub but also these forums, the Unity Community stuff, anything remotely “social”. It should also be an “asset browser” from which I can browse asset bundles I’ve bought and allow me to selectively drag assets (and their dependencies) into my projects.

Otherwise I’m really struggling to understand why we need the hub in its current form.

 

Is there currently a way to see if I’ve got the latest version of Unity without having to click on the “Add” button??

 

Installed VS 2019 now and it doesn't work but in another way (but it seems to work in your case, so there hopefully is a way...)

Now, if VS 2019 automatically starts as admin, but Unity not:
- Unity can open VS 2019
- VS 2019 doesn't load the selected script though
- Every time I open a file, it opens a new instance of VS 2019 (which then, as said above) doesn't display the file
- Curiously enough, if I navigate to "recent files" in VS, the file Unity tried to open is directly at the top

Really hope I find a solution for this. For work, I'm mainly working on Azure Service Fabric projects which require admin rights for VS if you want to set up and debug on local clusters

Really cumbersome. Hope, this turns out to be an easy fix either for me or for UT.

 

Off topic, this thread is about Unity Hub feedback, not Visual Studio.

 

I don't think it's off topic since it's a problem that only happens with/is caused by Unity Hub and the Hub is the way things will be, going forward.

But maybe that's not clear in case one didn't read the whole discussion

 

I doubt that Unity Hub interferes with the editor being able to open scripts in VS or not. There is no reason for that; it's a problem between VS and your version of Unity.

 

Sorry, but your answer makes lets me suspect that you either didn't read my posts or the posts weren't clear enough.

I never wrote that the hub directly causes Unity to not be able to open scripts in VS. If you go through what I wrote, you'll see that the problem is that the hub does not allow for starting Unity in admin mode and that causes the problem indirectly.
Before, you could just start Unity in Admin mode and it wasn't a problem at all. But that's not possible anymore with the hub.
If you do some googling, you'll find quite a few people that had to start Unity in admin mode because they had the same problem/requirement as me and that's simply not possible with the hub anymore.

If the "Hub Feedback"-thread isn't the right place to give feedback that and why it is a problem you can't start Unity in admin mode through the hub, I don't know where is. Not being able to launch Unity in admin mode is clearly a limitation of the hub. With the standalone version it's not a problem and never was.

 

Did you try setting Unity.exe "Run as Administrator" in the compatibility tab so that the Hub can run it as admin? I just did that with 2019.1.0f2 and the Hub (v.2 beta) started it in admin compatibility.

 

Yes, I did, thanks for asking though As soon as I do that, when I try to start the editor via hub, I get the following error:

That's for the old hub and in the new one, it's practically the same but "Error launching the editor" instead of "Error launching the application"
I have seen other people in this thread (Brathnann) and other threads confirm this problem as well. Maybe it's Windows 10 exclusive? You mentioned using Windows 7, so, that might be the difference in our setup?

 

Might be, I don't know.

Are you the administrator of your computer?

 

After setting Unity.exe "start as admin", did you quit the Hub entirely (from the system tray) and restart it?

 

Yeah, I'm 100% sure I'm admin on this computer. Also, I don't have problems opening any programs directly as administrator.
Anyway, don't want to flood this topic with that particular problem, sorry. Just wanted to let UT know, so they can hopefully reproduce and fix it. But thanks for your help!

 

Yes, I did. And thanks, your ideas as to what I might have been missing are really appreciated.

 

If a workaround can be found here; it would allow people to use it while UT fixes the problem.

Thanks for your ongoing support! Even already tried it through the registry. But I found a solution that works for now (will try it on my second system as well), although I can not really explain why this might help, since it seems that the Unity hub and the Unity Editor installations are almost completely separated.

Earlier on, thanks to your tip, I already tried the Unity Hub 2 beta, since the current version (1.6?) can't be run as admin but 2 can. But that still didn't help, unfortunately.
But what I did back then, was to download the Unity installer from the website, which installed the Hub as well as 2019.1.0f2 and *then* upgraded to the Hub 2 beta.
What I did now was:

• Uninstall everything Unity related
• Don't download the Unity installer but Instead just download the Hub v2 beta, install that, then download Unity through the hub
• Quit everything (made sure the hub doesn't run in the background anymore), went to the Unity folder, again set Unity to "Run as administrator" in the compatibility settings
• Started Hub v2 again as administrator.
• Now, the Hub could open Unity in admin mode and Unity thus can start VS in admin mode without problem

I'm really not sure why it's working now, after reinstalling everything (except VS) again. I tried the exact same before the reinstall and it didn't work and it doesn't really seem to me like the hub and editor are really interconnected much.
Anyway, it works now and that's all that matters to me.

@APSchmidt thanks again for your ongoing support, it's really appreciated! Even if it's a tad early: Have a nice weekend!

 

I don't see any issue here, hub does indeed seem to be indirectly causing a bug with VS on some systems so I see no problem.

 

i have a big promble.when i creat projct from hub2.0, when i move or roto the scene,very slow,and lag phase, but if i creat project just unity (don't ues hub2.0),don't have the promble.(i have two computers,all they have this promble)

 

It might be the lag I described here. In that case, closing the hub fixes the issue.

@AbrahamDUnity, any status on fixing that bug? Any status on 2.0 beta 4?

 

yeah，i also have this promble

 

Unity Hub 2.0.0-beta 4 is available. Will the update install itself at the right place? Suspense...

Installing the update... ... ...

Ah, this time it worked!

​

 

I like the term "absurd lag". Should use it more often when I ship patch notes for our own products.

 

Hmmm. This menu isn't appearing for me. I believe I know why. I'm on a slow/metered connection in a rural area, so I download the core components on my laptop at a coffee shop or elsewhere. My installations almost always happen outside of the hub and are added manually.

 

BUG:
Like Hub 1.x, Hub 2.0 Beta 4 still can't determine and display the current/last-opened-with Target Platform:

The projects in this screenshot have 3 potential target platforms, Android, iOS, and macOS. The Hub should say "Android" for both of them in this screen shot, not this indeterminate state.

Android is what the top, actively open project is set to, and also what the bottom, currently closed project was last opened with. In both cases, Android is what Unity Editor will launch into if I re-open them and don't specify a different target.

Let me know if there's more info I can provide!

 

i don't understand what you mean. i just down beta4 but,nothing had change. i don't see" restart now"

 

hi，i canit update,i down the link beta4 and install ,but no upate message.

 

You can still install the latest version from here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-hub-v2-0-beta-is-now-available-for-download.650455/

 

This link is useless. I have downloaded beta4, but nothing has changed. I cannot receive the updated message，I am from China, is it the network problem? Can you provide another download method.

 

https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-hub-2-0-update-problem-with-cdn.667690/ maybe it is the same problem

 

You don't need the update if you already installed the latest version.

 

.I directly installed the latest version. You said it was fixed in beta4 ， but i also have the promble about "lag issue"

 

So there are two possibilities. One is that I cannot download the latest version from the latest link（also old version）, and the other is that this BUG has not been completely solved. Is there any way to know whether I am using beta4 or not

 

The latest version is 2.0.0-beta 4. If you have problems, maybe you should use the stable version 1.6.0: https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-hub-v-1-6-0-is-now-available.640792/

 

Fast final update button of the same Unity version?
Feedback: https://forum.unity.com/threads/fast-update-button-of-the-same-vr.670618/

 

is it possible to show (partial) folder name in the "Projects" screen ? (like v1.x) ?

bc all our projects is now just say "Unity", which make the project selection hard (we need to manually mouse over each item to check)

eg below screen shot are for different project/path except all under a "Unity" folder
thanks

 

I can't open old version project, but it possible in Hub v 1.6.x

 

Unity Hub 2.0 beta make Unity 2017.x and 2018.x slow!
When open a 2017.x/2018.x project from UnityHub 2.0 beta, it while become vely slowly when moving Scene camera.

 

@AbrahamDUnity Hi, I don't know if this has been asked already so I'm asking now. When we install a new version of Unity and deinstall the previous one, the projects must be assigned a new version to use. When I do that, the choice doesn't hold; to make it hold, I must start the project.

Could you please make it so the choice holds? Thank you.

 

Yep, that's what I mean. It just feels untidy that we can choose the version but that choice must be validated by launching the project. It's just cosmetic, of course.

​

 

I'm getting an "Error launching the editor: License is invalid" message, though I have a valid licence. It seems to be related to different projects using different versions. For instance I have ProjectA using 2019.1.1f1 and ProjectB using 2018.3.14f1. I can open and close ProjectA multiple times without problems. If I then open and close ProjectB I get this error when I try to open any project from Hub. A restart of the Hub fixes it.

 

@AbrahamDUnity Hi,
There is something I just noticed:

• the Hub shows only six projects in its list,
• there are eight projects in the registry list (HKEY_\CURRENT_USER\Software\Unity Technologies\Unity Editor 5x).

I recently (yesterday) removed two projects manually, which could be the reason for the difference but, how is it that the registry didn't update itself?

(cough, cough, any way to make this thread sticky so that people find it easily? Just asking... )
