Visual Studio 2022 and Unity

Hello,
I just installed Visual Studio 2022 with Unity 2021.1 and the package Visual Studio Editor 2.0.12 but it seems as nothing is working anymore.

The same problem with Unity 2021.2.

No link with Unity...

Has anyone else had the same problem as me?

Thanks.

 

is this version supported in unity? I see only packages for visual code or visual studio 2019

 

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ide.visualstudio@2.0/changelog/CHANGELOG.html

Code Editor Package for Visual Studio
[2.0.12] - 2021-10-20
Integration:

• Do not block asset opening when only a VS instance without a loaded solution is found.
• Only check package version once per Unity session.
• Improved support for Visual Studio For Mac 2022.

Maybe not? Only for Visual Studio For Mac 2022???

 

I think you need to "Regenerate project files". That at least worked for me

 

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. However your IDE is Visual Studio 2019. Mine is Visual Studio 2022. In fact the post concerns VS 2022.

 

Any solution to this, I also have the same issue.

In Unity->Preferences->External Tools->External Script Editor I have broswed to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

I regenerated the project files.

Unity is not opening scripts etc
If I manually open and edit the C# scripts then VS 2022 doesn't recognise the unity libraries etc

I'm not sure what to try next.

 

Link to MS Documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vi...o-tools-for-unity?view=vs-2022&pivots=windows

 

This solved it for me:

Be sure the Player Projects is Ticked.
Then press Regenerate project files.

 

Scripts open perfectly from Unity, and all Unity libraries are functioning in the VS2022 IDE correctly.

 

I am having the same issue but on windows, any one have a solution for windows?

 

Thank you, Uninstalling VS2019 and Targeting VS2022 and adding Player Projects Did the Trick for me. VS2022 Works with unity now.

 

I regenerate all .csproj files, now i can work well in Visual Studio 2022. Thank you!

 

Thank you. I was missing the Unity Workload for VS2022 (Tools > Get tools and Features > Game development with Unity)

 

Neither fixed it for me. Or at least I keep getting the 'This Unity Project was not generated...' message in VS2022. Seem to work alright though <shrug>

 

Also have no checkbox for project files to tick.

 

worked for me.
when you click the Player project tick.

 

If you are refreshing after ticking on "Player project" only, it won't work...You have to close Visual Studio 2022 (if open) and then open it again by clicking on the script you want to edit...If you have not opened VS2022 then you can ignore this.

 

I just changes the editor in the preference, regenerated the project files and it worked fine.

 

I just change from 2019 to 2022, I already tick all boxes in the external tool still doesn't work. But inside visual code on "Solution Explorer" panel or tab. There are files like "Assembly-Csharp" and more still (unloaded).

I try to select all those unloaded files and right click "reload project" and it works hope it help

 

for anyone that is still going through this the only thing you have to do is update Visual Studio Editor Package on Package Manager to the 2.0.15 version or higher.

 

worked for me.
when you click the Player project tick.

 

What should I do if I don't find the visual studio editor package in my package manager

 

On Mac, and I tried everything above without success. Then I read the documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vi...nd-known-issues-visual-studio-tools-for-unity and found this...

• Unity 2020.x+: Check that you are using the latest Visual Studio Editor package in Window / Package Manager.

This fixed it for me.

 

Thsi worked for me!!! Thanks so much.

 

Awesome, this worked for me!

 

Might help someone. I just installed the Visual Studio 2022 and i had issues getting the Unity Explorer Code View to appear. Also the solutions explorer was not showing any code saying it was closed.
I added the Unity work bench tools from the Visual Studio 2022 Modify menu and regenerated projects but still no good.
In the end i noticed a little exclamation mark with an install link in the solution explorer panel saying that i was likely missing some important install. I installed it and everything appeared. So watch out for that!!!

Feel free to remove Visual Studio 2019 and no need to install it on installing from the unity hub.

 

When I using vs2022, coded a script and go back to the unity editor, it told me Missing UnityEngine.Bridge

 

In my case, I can open the project files on VS2022 through unity but VS2022 does not display the play button to enable debugging. I'm using a mac. Would anyone know how to solve it?

 

same issue, solved by disabling/fixing broken script:
I guess importing Visual Studio Editor package didn't get to compile, until fixed errors in scripts.. (had created the script before imported package)

 

Finally it works. God bless you.

 

This solved it for me:
Be sure the Player Projects is Ticked.
Then press Regenerate project files.
Thank you

 

Thanks! This did it for me, finally after hours of searching!

 

My case was very unusual, but it took me almost an entire day to solve it and I thought it might be worth to mention it here, in case somebody may have a similar situation. I also work with web projects on a Windows machine with IIS, and that requires Visual Studio to be run as an elevated process. So, to make is “easy” for me, I configured Visual Studio to always "Run as administrator" by adding the path to devenv.exe to the registry at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers. But it seems that Unity cannot communicate with Visual Studio if it is run as an elevated process. After I deleted the permanent setting in the registry, Unity started to work well with VS again. Now I use shortcuts and other "less comfortable” methods to start VS as admin for particular projects.

 

This has also solved my issue, thank you.

 

I have noticed that if VS2022 is open, say you have a script open when you do this it may not work properly. I did what you did but had to with Unity being the only thing open, regen the files, then opened VS2022 by double clicking the file and it worked for me. So, make sure files are being held captive by outside application from unity before regenerating files.

 

Thank you so much, this worked.

 

Dude! I owe you a beer! I have a project that installs a service so I had VS running as admin. I used the compatibility checker to create that registry entry and removing it solve the problem. Thanks!

 

I'd also like to chime in to say that it seems like VS 2022 was not attempting to "reconsider" the cs projects even after regenerating project files, deleting the .sln, and other fixes from this thread. Note that if you use "Player Projects" in the Unity settings, yes you will get some working projects but they'll be loaded on top of the original broken projects. Player projects seem to be an option for working with different player (platform, i.e. mobile vs console) configurations and likely not the type of projects you usually want to work with when coding in the Editor. Hopefully this hasn't tripped anyone up as the true "fix" would be to repair the original "Assembly" projects.

What finally fixed it for me was right clicking "reloading" every project in the solution. It seems the first time I opened the solution it didn't find it compatible and I just needed to refresh in order for it to work. Which is strange because even deleting and regenerating the .sln didn't cause this to happen; perhaps some state on the local device is trying to save performance by not doing the check again. Hope that helps!

 

i have that problem

 

i cant find the regenerate button
