    Anyone with heavy audio-based project I advice you to stay on b22, there's a simple bug that makes Audio.PlayOneShot to work only once per audio clip. I've already reported the issue and they have said the issue is likely to be a known issuse, case number [670601]

    Hi!

    Just to let you know because I don't know if this is a bug or only an error in my project:

    I've updated from Beta 14 and I had SampleAssets folder that I've deleted to import the new "Standar Assets". I've imported first Effects package and then Utility package. When importing Utility I've these two errors:

    Error importing folder (The GUID f030ca9293dfc164c8bc07b982e19f38 is already mapped to Assets/Standard Assets/Effects/CrossPlatformInput/Prefabs. But the meta data wants it to be mapped to assets/standard assets/crossplatforminput/prefabs)

    Error importing folder (The GUID 4c4bc148459cd764dbb1d4e94e49299b is already mapped to Assets/Standard Assets/Effects/CrossPlatformInput/Sprites. But the meta data wants it to be mapped to assets/standard assets/crossplatforminput/sprites)


    Best!

    More problems after updating:

    I can't open any Animation Controller made in Beta14... I'm having this error:

    IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
    UnityEditor.Graphs.AnimatorControllerTool.OnGUI () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Graphs/UnityEditor.Graphs/Animation/AnimatorControllerTool.cs:721)

    This early RC1 scares me ... (much to do in terms of Enlighten GI static baking still ...)

    Exactly my thoughts. I am wondering how did they do this demo with the lighting, when no one else can seem to get it working? Was it a BS demo?

    Yeah already RC... o_O

    I haven't managed yet to get the lightmap baking to work even half as well or fast in any of my projects as it did in Unity 4. Is it even possible or is it already known fact that baking will take 3-5x longer than it did in U4 regardless if you are using terrain or not?

    I've tried to keep up with all the lightmapping threads for tips and tricks but I still find the speed unusable compared to the old. If it's about the correct settings then there should be at least some quickstart guide to get decent results as trial and error is dead slow.

    Well, let's hope they can fix it before release. Otherwise I can't image the S***storm that's gonna hit the forums.

    Well that's a problem then isn't it? If you have to finesse to get the enlighten to work, where the other system, just worked....

    From my perspective this release seems time-boxed rather than quality-boxed at this point. Could be mistaken here, but certainly an RC1 seems early to call. The Betas were early to call also so it could just be a different approach. At the end of the day it just matters what gets shipped out as Unity 5.0.0. Fingers crossed.

    I guess the target release date is around early next month so that they can announce it at GDC

    The pessimist in me leans toward this. Having said that, there have been a few replies stating some things were fixed for Beta/RCs beyond the one coming up. So, they probably have a lot more fixed than we are aware of and have estimates on the showstoppers they know of at this time. Time will tell.

    Actually, the new RC1 breaks A LOT of scripts... even ones that belong to Unity. :(

    I have the Standard Assets with Cameras, Characters and Effects in my project and do not see any compilation issues. Those were the Standard Assets that came with beta21 I believe and I haven't even updated them for RC1.

    Same here, except I probably updated them with beta 22 just in case something had changed. So yeah, no script problems here with RC1, including a number of 3rd party asset store items I am using.

    It would be quite handy to know when changes have been made to standard assets between Unity releases, especially as I have customised a few of the scripts, but I've been able to cope so far.

    I get this error:

    but it shouldn't break EVERYTHING

    replacing the 'preview' keyword with 'CameraMotionBlurEditor.preview' in line 93 should fix the problem imo.

    Some of the bugs I've filed are still in RC1 and still open in the bug db; should we resend bugs that are particularly annoying? For example, UI text is still very washed out in Linear color mode. As I've mentioned before, anyone who will seriously be using the new PBR shaders should be using Linear not Gamma, so being unable to use the new UI with the new Shaders should be a high priority IMHO.

    Edit: Soooo it looks like when I do an actual Standalone build for PC, text looks fine in Linear mode. But in the editor, the text is not gamma correct in Linear mode. I haven't checked other platforms.

    Maybe you guys should do a poll and ask who is using the new shaders and whether they're using Linear or Gamma mode. I still can't understand why Unity does all their testing in Gamma mode.

    let's complain about the catch-up with the 4.6 UI, so they will catch up with it in the next RC ;)

    Aren't the image effects now all coded in C#? So that would mean that you're using the old standard assets which I believe aren't really maintained anymore. See also here:

    Yes, they changed the folder name from "Sample Assets" back to "Standard Assets", so if you just installed over your old folder, you may need to go into C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor and delete the "Sample Assets" folder. The new "Standard Assets" folder should be all C# files.

    Is anyone having issues with monodevelop and the mouse cursor? I basically can't click on gui elements in monodevelop, especially in the code window. Putting the mouse cursor near the menu bar selects all of the text in the code window, like im clicking and dragging upward in it. Interesting any ideas anyone?

    I dont think so, I have to hit alt F to get the menu bar to work but then my code window acts up. I can't right click to bring up a context menu either.

    I upgraded from Beta 18 and had the same callstack on the console while the Animator window would stay empty and not render the animation state.

    After saving everything, closing Unity and launching it again the error went away. Seem ok now.

    Does the WebPlayer still work reliably?
    We still need it for some clients for the medium term.

    I tried it on RC1, and previously on Beta18, and I've gotten it to run exactly once on a blank project. All the other times, even with a freshly created project I get the attached screenshot.

    I've installed the WebPlayer, with Admin privileges, and it acts the same way in all the browsers (Chrome/IE/FF) on Windows 7.

    Are there caveats for installing the non-public WebPlayers?

    Yes I had that too, albeit after upgrading a b22 project. As with your experience, a restart fixed it.

    I am testing unity since b1 and this is the last thing makes me really worry. Unity team says they are awera of this bug and high on their list to fix. However, problem still there in RC1. Why it is hard to solve? When it will be solved?

    I'm aware of how vague this sounds, but does RC1 seem more 'crashy' to anyone else? b21 was absolutely fine, much better than 4.6 in fact, RC1 has crashed 4 times in the space of an hour.

    I've not had any crashes since a few betas back at least. If it's crashing for you, use the bug reporter manually. If you have crash logs, attach them too.

    Yup, but after some time working I've the same errors again and again.When the error appears the only way to work is closing Unity and open it again.

    I imported my 4.6.2 project to 5.0RC1, but the animations don't trigger, and the lightmapper keeps giving me errors that it's trying to do something outside of the texture. Are those submitted bugs, or am i missing something?

    Quick question: I still see Static Collider.Move costs in the profiler.

    Is there an ETA on that no longer being adjudged an "Expensive Delayed Cost", I thought the AABB problem was now a thing of the past? Happy to look in the right place for the answers if someone can point the way.

    Many thanks. ( I could really do with those ms back ;) )

    Actually I tried that.

    twice.

    it just refused to notice the fact that I had fixed it.
    ( Another error also was reported, that I fixed, but it refused to parse the /exact/ response you gave there after that other was fixed)

    I deleted it. job done. Could not get it to swallow the fixup, no matter what I tried. (Yes, I also tried restarting)

    I would imagine just clearing out the Image effects folder and repopulating would fix this up.
    Fairly sure this is the old Standard Assets stuff balking. It certainly was in my case.

    Well as long as they have a release candidate 10 we might be ok !

    Looks to me like another EA strategy going bad.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and please do), but doesn't adding a Kinematic Rigidbody solve that issue?

    It really does.

    However 800 rigidbodies are a bit pricey when all you want to do is chuck a few rays around.

    Not to hi-jack the thread however I will just spoiler the quote (And, Yes, I have extensively read Pierre's blog)
    Moving Static Colliders
    Moving Static Colliders will be a lot less expensive. A Static Collider is just a gameobject with a collider component on it, but without a Rigidbody component. Previously, since the SDK assumed that Static Colliders aren’t moved, moving a Static Collider would trigger an expensive AABB tree rebuild that affected overall performance badly.

    In Unity 5, we’ll use the same data structure to handle the movement of both dynamic and static colliders. Unfortunately, we’ll lose the benefit of Static Colliders consuming less memory than dynamic ones. However, right now, the cost associated with moving Static Colliders is one of the top 3 causes of performance issues in Unity games. We wanted to change that.

    I don't see any change :) Thanks for answering though. Makes me feel the community is still alive.
