    VS Code autocomplete is failing on one project specifically. In other projects it works. Any ideas where I might look to fix this problem?

    Well it is hard to say what helps when VS Code starts to do that.

    But this is what I've done (maybe take backups before trying):
    - Remove C# project files from the root of the project
    - Close VS Code and restart it from Unity using menu option, not by double clicking

    Also see the debug window in VS Code (I think it is the problems tab) and check if you get errors about OmniSharp or not.

    There is also at least one thread about VS Code not working properly... but I can't find it right now.

    Thanks for the response.

    I've switched to Rider, couldn't be happier!

    Nice. I wasn't getting full functionality out of vscode until I changed these settings and did regen. One note, I first got a bunch of errors in the vscode integrated terminal about Omnisharp not being able to load the csproj files... --the solution was to download and install the 4.7.1 .NET Framework SDK and restart vscode.
