Unity3d 5.3 Not working

when i open the editor or unity3d the new version that uploaded today not show non of my project them it hust giving me gray screen. not even the sign in screen just gray screen and that's it

 

Hi @Tatsumi Kun ! There may have been an error with the install. Could you try reinstalling. The installer is now module so be sure to check the appropriate boxes on install

 

yeah i reinstall it and it give me the same problem

 

remember i am still using window 7

 

did you guy fix the error with the installer what you mean by module

 

I'm also getting the same problem. please give me some solutions.

 

Same here. I think some problem on servers.

 

same problem, does anyone have a solution? I am stuck can't do any development, also using Windows7, 32 bits

 

I'm also having this problem.

I've been trying to update my Unity to 5.3 today, but after every installment I ended up with this problem. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall but the problem is still there. I wasted my whole day waiting for everything to download and now I'm really lost and don't know what to do.

 

Problem still exist
OS: Windows 7 32bit

Reinstall - didn't help
Unity.exe -projectpath D:\PathToProject - didn't help
Remove c:\ProgramData\Unity\Unity_v5.x.ulf - didn't help
UnityDownloadAssistant-5.3.0f4.exe "SendRequest Error... 5.3/0f4-win.ini" - Some Servers still unreachable?

 

I have the same problem on my Windows 10 32bit. But it works on my Windows 7 64bit!
May be a 32bit problem.
But for me there is a Workaround:
Right-Click on unity in the TASKBAR and i can see the last edit filesand start them!
But i hope, there will be a better solution!

 

Thank you.

You can start Unity by double click on scene file. It work.

 

I was also faced with this problem.
After it was wandering a few hours forum and looking for a solution, I found it.
It is simply to start it with the following command-line options.

-projectPath <path of existing project>
-createProject <any path>

You can skip the project selection screen in this way. I recorded it in the desktop shortcut.
This is an effective method, but it's a short-term workaround. I hope that the patch release that this bug has been eliminated will be published soon.

 

Yes it works, but my saved Canvas UI elements are missing from my scene so I cant trust this method yet.

EDIT: Okay double-clicking the scene file opens the editor but not the file itself, you have to open the scene file in the editor to open it. BUT, all script components are missing from their respective GameObjects.

I don't still trust this current situation and this version, My scenes' gameobjects have lost their scripts and I find it tedious to manually redo all of them.

 

Same boat

 

I will just reinstall back to the previous version that I was working in so I can continue my work.

 

How did you reinstall to previous version? I can't find any link to previous version of Unity

 

I managed to run Unity thanks @OldUnityFool but not I cannot sing-in for using services When I click sign-in button it takes me to the project screen again and then in my console there is this error:

Error loading file:///C%3A%2FUsers%2Fadmin%2FAppData%2FRoaming%2FUnity%2FPackages%2Fnode_modules%2Funity-editor-home%2Fdist/index.html#/login

It looks like there is a file missing! I don't know what the heck are/is node modules so can anyone help? Thanks

 

I still have the installer which is the 5.1 version though. I hope it will install.

 

https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive here are all versions

 

Okay, I made a mistake while working on my scene the last time i saved it that made every GameObject lost their scripts. I had compiler errors in some scripts that prevent all other scripts to load in their gameObjects upon startup. So I guess it's a safe workaround on this issue.

 

Sorry for my previous post! But the workaround isn´t a workaround.
Okay, you can open a scene. But you can´t open a project in the editor or createa new project and so on!
Sorry!

 

SOLVED! I managed to solve the whole issue!!!! To do this first go to C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity-editor-home and then create a new folder named "dist" (without inverted commas) then copy everything you have in C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity-editor-home to the new made "dist" folder and you are ready to use 5.3!!!!!

 

All it needed was a "dist" folder for it to be able to display and open the existing projects and able to create new ones?

 

Yeah and for signing for using services. I figures it out but the strange "℅2Fdist" line after "unity-editor-home" in console. I noticed that before each sub folder there is "%F2" so i created a sub folder and copied ever thing in it! I was desperate for using services window which required login

 

I see, I'll try to update to 5.3 again to see if it works, so that we can have a concrete fix. Right now I'm back in 5.1, just newly installed. Currently It doesn't have "node_modules\unity-editor-home" inside the C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages folder, probably because it's an old version.

 

same problem but I am using windows10

 

I found packages unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.1.tgz and unity-editor-home-0.0.7.tgz in C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\Resources\Packages. Create folders node_modules\unityeditor-cloud-hub and node_modules\unity-editor-home in C:\Users\%user_name%\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\. Extract dist and package.json from unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.1.tgz into unityeditor-cloud-hub, dist and package.json from unity-editor-home-0.0.7.tgz into unity-editor-home. It's work. Thanks, Yash987654321!

 

Thanks @Yash987654321 and @Lertmind It works now

 

Thank you it really works! At first after I installed the 5.3 it still didn't have the node_modules folder. I followed your instructions and my Unity works now!

 

Yea! I followed Lertmind's insrtuction, worked perfect, thanks!

 

Thanks, Lertmind! It worked for me too!

 

Not working..I have no unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.1.tgz file in my computer.

 

Here are the rar files:

Hope this help

 

Thanks, it worked!

 

well after I install window 10 it start working good for me but I don't know about you guys on win 7

 

Uhh..I've made a folder called "node_modules" in C/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Packages.
I've made two folders inside the "node_modules" folder, one is "unityeditor-cloud-hub" and the other one is "unity-editor-home".Inside the "unityeditor-cloud-hub" folder is the "unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.1.tgz" file, and inside the "unity-editor-home" folder is another folder called "dist", and in the "dist" folder is the "unity-editor-home-0.0.7.tgz" file. Still isn't working. Help?

 

I guess .tgz in an archive file. EXTRACT IT!. Make sure you have something like "index.HTML" in dist folder

 

I extracted both "unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.1.tgz" and "unity-editor-home-0.0.7.tgz" twice and then they "became" a folder with dist in it and assets and other stuff. Where do I put the two folders?

 

Try just extracting Unity home 0.0.7 and then move everything extracted to dist folder and make sure the dist folder is in C:/Users/admin/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Packages/node_modules/unity-editor-home

Notice "admin" in Users directly. Its how it worked for me!

 

Oh,thank you so much! Putting the stuff in dist( and not having packages with dist in it ) worked! Thank you

 

I just downloaded 5.3.0 and had the same problem with the grey loading screen just hanging. However, I've not got ANY of thoe files and directories mentioned in the thread above. I installed onto my E drive like I've done with earlier versions of Unity (they all worked) but this version has not worked. Like I say, I've search for the stated directories but can't find them. When I installed it said that the temp files needed to install will be deleted after installation. Is this why I can't find them?

thanks

 

If not try using unity 5.1's Home files (Not sure it it will work) Go to folder unity 5.1 is installed Editor/Data/resources/home and copy everything their into the dist folder (It may work )
BTW see in both C:/Users/admin/AppData/Unity/packages/
and
C:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/AppData/Unity/packages
Edit- It looks like @Shioo have provided the files in one of the above post!

 

I followed the steps you guys mentioned but the problem is not solved.It shows the same background.I downloaded it in D drive and how to copy both the files in D folder please help.
Actually I downloaded in d driver and for copying that folder into c driver I don't have roaming folder in users in c drive.Are I need to copy any file.Please tell

 

THIS WORKS!!!
This method works for the blank screen issue.

 

But the problem is I downloaded in d drive and I dont know where to extract this two file.Thats why I am confused

 

Or I want to copy all the files in d drive to c dive program files will it help

 

C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity_editor_home\dist

Extract unity editor home007.tgz there

 

Funnily enough, I installed 5.3.0 onto my external hard drive which gives the blank gray on my PC which uses win 7. I plugged the hard drive into my son's PC (also win 7) and it loads fine !

not sure what the difference is between the two PC apart from son's PC is more modern and faster but the OS is win7 as is mine
