Unknown error occurred while loading 'Scene Name'.

Unknown error occurred while loading 'Scene Name'.

today i tryed to open my projekt and i get this error.

In the past day i had Records Key error, but not in unity3d.
Unfortunally i have no backup, can i do something to save the scene?

Please help me!

 

I had the same problem and don't know how to solve!
Did you managed to solve?

 

Hy,
Unfortunately i didn't find a solution for this. I made my scene again, and now i make every day a backup.
sorry

 

Same boat over here. Other projects are opening fine, and the assets/scripts look ok as i imported them to another project and tested.

 

We sometimes get this when running our game on Android devices:

10-08 12:37:59.678: E/Unity(4016): Failed to destroy a semaphore (Device or resource busy)
10-08 12:37:59.678: E/Unity(4016):

10-08 12:37:59.679: E/Unity(4016): Unknown error occurred while loading 'level18'.

10-08 12:39:33.845: W/Unity(4016): Timeout while trying to pause the Unity Engine.

From the timing, is seems at least the first two are related errors, but maybe they are not. Our guess at the moment is that we're running out of memory...

 

I got the same Error
All my Stuff in the Scene is gone!!
There is nothing and it was something like 100 objects in there.

Unknown error occurred while loading 'scene.unity'.

Version 5.2.2f1 Personal

 

I got same error too.
I opened it in HEX editor and sadly it was just fillen with nulls. There is noway to repair this.
Since today i am going to do backups every day and you should too.

 

Hi,

I've been seeing this error on android builds recently. I don't see the semaphore issue as reported by MvD. There's a crash log just after it, but the app doesn't drop out. It does, however, lead to misbehaviour in the app, and progress is blocked.
Is there any information on this? Unknown error is fairly vague. could there be scene corruption? are we running out of memory?

 

I have more information on my own specific instance of the error. I'm seeing a .cpp and line number.

Unknown error occurred while loading 'level37'.: 0 at ./Runtime/Misc/LoadSceneOperation.cpp:110 (1, 0, 0)

Does this perhaps help narrow it down?

 

further to this, I've ruled out scene corruption as a cause, since rebuilding the scene from scratch did not fix the problem.
One possible cause is asynchronous loading of scenes. We're currently investigating this.

 

Just stumbled into this error when loading a scene, in an Android device as well. Did you find any reason or solution for it?

 

Same happend to me. Lost all my scene content. This is just inacceptable.

 

Same happened.... hell opened... I dead...

 

Unknown error occurred while loading 'level8'.
(Filename: ./Runtime/PreloadManager/LoadSceneOperation.cpp Line: 109)
How to solve this bug ? My game crashed.

 

I got same error too.
unknown error occurred while loading 'Assets/Scenes/level.unity'.
please help how to fix it

 

i lost my all work
This is just inacceptable.

 

Unknown error occurred while loading 'Scene Name'.

Unfortunally i have no backup, can i do something to save the scene?

 

After CPU freez I have preserved 0.backup. (before running unity)

My scene gives me "Unknown error occurred while loading ..."
And my backup scene (0.backup) gives me the same error.

Files are different in size and also modification time is different. (0.backup newer)

Unity 2017.02.0f3

THIS IS AN UTRAGEOUS SITUATION !!!

 

This problem is still happening to me. Any unity moderators or unity developers can help?

 

Happend to me using unity 2018.2.20f1. I was cutting the power of my pc directly after closing Unity maybe I didn't even wait for Unity to close properly. I forgot the details of how I closed the project. I suspect that Unity was not able to save the work properly and the scene was destroyed. The other scenes in my project still work only the scene I last used is gone.

 

Just happened to me in Unity 2018.3, I guess that's the way unity works.

 

I got the same problem

 

Same to me, I use Unity2018.3.3

 

I found a solution.
Get into your scene folder and right click on the .unity file and with Unity opened in your project select "Edit Unity scene file", then you'll be in your scene but you now have to copy all the elements of your hierarchy (Ctrl+A) and then paste it into a new scene. Delete the old one (corrupted) and rename the new one with the name of the old one.
Works with Unity 2018.3.2f1

 

i lost my all work again ,I use git, but still cant recover it

 

My TerrainData can't be recognized by Unity. What's the problem?I use Git, and even if I restore TerrainData with Git, it still doesn't work.

 

I hate unity

 

The part of the problem is you not creating backups, no only Unity.

 

Running into the same problem when using Git and Git-LFS with a project. I'm getting the following error:
-- --

Unknown error occurred while loading 'Assets/_Main/Terrain/TropicalIsland.asset'.

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

I'm on Unity 2019.1.0f2.

 

https://npatsiouras.wordpress.com/2018/03/30/unitys-terraindata-and-gitattributes/

This gives a promising explanation for what is happening. However, the solution did not work for me.

 

Just a quick look, the solution described would seem to prevent the issue from happening in the future, but not fix any damage already done, and would require you to use a specific naming convention for your terrain assets for them to be recognized as such.

 

I've attempted to to rename the asset, as well as create a copy with another name, making sure to include "Terrain" in the name. Neither worked.

 

But the solution in the link doesn't appear to do anything to fix the existing corruption of the file. Just prevent it from happening to a healthy terrain asset in the future. Unless I'm misunderstanding the issue.

 

I understand what you're saying. What I ended up trying was, after the .gitattributes change, on the machine with the working project, I renamed the terrain asset file, as well as created a new terrain asset file with an appropriate name. Then I made a push and merged onto a second machine. I ended up with the same error for both assets. This is done in addition to deleting the Library folder on both machines and recompiling the project.

 

Because of the inconsistency in which Unity handles .asset files, it appears that the simplest solution is to remove .asset files from being handled by git-lfs at all, as long as you don't have extremely large .asset files.

See the discussion here:
https://gist.github.com/nemotoo/b8a1c3a0f1225bb9231979f389fd4f3f

I updated my existing project to stop using lfs for .asset files by following this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41961459

Hope this helps anyone running into a similar issue.

 

Seems like the problem has not been resolved and unity does not give a toss about this problem. Lost all my work, even source control does not help. Time to move into unreal engine.

 

Works perfectly for me. I'm on 2018.4.0f1
Thank you so much

 

Same here.( 2019.3f6

I opened the scene file with text editor and it is empty.
I opened different normal scene and it has text data in it.
So I guess scene data has been cleaned somehow.
This means there is no way to recover this data besides backups.

I am pretty much disappointed in the fact that you can lose your data spontaneously.

Every week Unity gives you unpleasant surprises...

 

what the actual F*** sudddenly lost my entire project, F*** these S*** developers and S*** software i will now move to unreal engine

 

Same here, lost all the stuff in my scene 2 times, lost all of my work. Just inacceptable

 

And this is a production-ready release...

 

I feel you man ugh I spent so much time working on this

 

None of the stuff in the scene is showing up

 

it happend to me again for the second time I lost everything this scene I've been working on for months now
I'm not sure if unity developer are incompetent or if I'm just too stupid to use unity

- why isn't there a built in auto save and backup feature is it really that hard I'm really confused because there
is already backup file created every time you enter play mode all you have to do is not delete it is that too much to ask

i think it's time to switch engines i can't deal with this any longer

 

Happened to me aswell.
Unity 2019.3.12f1
Lucky that not so much time have been invested into the corrupted terrain.

 

Not to nag everyone posting here, i know loosing project progress is really bad, but not using source control software and backups is just waiting for loosing data.
An no that is not only in unity, in software development in general its unwise only to have one copy of your project.

If you have a way to reproduce the corruption the unity team would be really glad to get a small bug report on how to reproduce it, so that it can be fixed.

 

Laptop Charger problem and switched off while saving the scene. My entire scene is gone. I have backup. But still losing 4 hours of work is unacceptable.

And this problem exists for five years without any one looking into it ? My confidence in Unity is gone.

 

Had the same issue, due to a power loss.

Managed to recover the data, using Rider's Local History feature. It works only if you were using Rider as an IDE and it managed to register the external changes.

Hope this helps some people out there

 

Well, I don't know if this will really work for others too but I am sharing my solution for the error that I JUST solved it accidentally while searching online:

Unknown error occurred while loading '<PROJECT PATH>/library/metadata/50/50163d5bb4e84cb488890b7b584407cd

What I simply did is, right clicked on the scene that wasn't opening and giving this error (If you are not sure which scene then simply delete all ".META" files) and selected "Show In Explorer" and then simply deleted the ".META" file of that specific scene which wasn't working and it worked.
It worked for me may be because it says metadata in this error. Don't know about others.

 

I have faced various problems with unity but this is the worst. I had created a huge laboratory which was a lot of mbs and it’s all gone now! After so many hours of struggling unity couldn’t find my scene whatever I did. I know there is backup but if I did backup to everything I created I would just have no more memory on my computer. Shame on the developers that haven’t fixed this problem. It’s so serious and it exists for 5 years. Why don’t the fix it?
