Cannot load Atlas During Build/Enter Game. Missing File ?

I added some new sprites, gave them all the same packing tag and when i run the build or click on the "pack" button in sprite packer, i get this error

"
Cannot load Atlas During Build/Enter Game. Missing File ?
"

the sprite packer doesn't seem to be working.. or am i doing something wrong? please help if anyone has seen this issue.

 

I moved the folder containing the sprites out of the /Resources folder and now it packs fine.

Seems like the textures can not be inside the Resources folder? is this a bug?

 

Assets/Resources

 

Resources folder is ignored by sprite packer by design.

The resources folder is considered to be the "manual option" for users to do manually what they want with their assets. Everything in there will be loaded in the build and Unity keeps its hands off.

Recommended way to use assets is to keep them outside of the resources folder and refer to them directly (and not with string path) so Unity can automagically clean unused assets from your build and pack sprites into tighter atlases etc.

Lot of good discussion about this in this old thread: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/un...t-pack-images-inside-resources-folder.248349/

 

I am getting the same error. What exactly does the error mean? I have no sprites in the resources folder at all.

I seem to get this error when I change compression on something? I have the AppIcon in the Assets folder (top level) and its import settings are Texture 16bits. If I change the compression to TrueColor, I get 16 of these errors. Any idea? I didn't even know the Texture compression was packed. Everything else in my project has Import Settings set to Sprite TrueColor

Any ideas?

 

I'm getting a LOT of these errors all of a sudden as well. I have no sprites in the Resources folder. Any idea what could be causing this? When I build, I get 702 of them.

 

Edit: Replied to the wrong thread!

 

Sorry, I replied to the wrong thread with that above comment. I've removed it.

I'm using 5.1.2f1 though, and I'm not sure what exactly is causing the problem to happen.

 

I'm on 5.1.2f1 as well and also suddenly see a slew of these errors all of a sudden. I also don't have any textures in the Resources folder.

 

I'm seeing this in 5.1.2p3, (my first version of unity 5.1) - was there ever a root cause of this error message?

 

I have that bug as well in Unity 5.1.2f1 and I don't have any "Resources/" folder at all (in "Assets/" one).

 

I keep getting the same errors too. I submitted a report with my project and mentioned this thread and also you, ChuanXin, asking said bug report.

 

I've just experienced this bug, has anyone found an answer? I have no sprites in Resources. My partner can build out just fine.

 

I uploaded a bug report for another issue, but the project in that bug report will reproduce this bug as well. See bug 726479. If you build the project to PC, you'll see these errors in the console.

 

I installed 5.1.3p3 and I never had this issue until now. Now I do have it, and it occurs occasionally :/

Edit: This happens if I change targeted platform after taking a build for another platform. I.E. I took an x64 build for Win, then changed target platform to Mac universal, and I got the error.

 

I updated editor to 5.2.1p2 and this error started to show up each time I hit play.
I hit play, sprite packing starts, it finishes with this error or editor crashes. This is really frustrating

Project file is bigger than a GB so I could not add it.

(Case 733460)

 

Cloud build for windows desktop x64 (5.2.1f1) gives this error in builds too

 

Update, this time I was able to attach the sample project (Case 733725)

 

@Venkify Actually I have 20 different sprite tags, and I tried them one by one, and as groups.
The one I sent was crashing Unity, and there is one more that completes packing process (13 page of atlases) but when I add one more spritesheet with different Packing Tag, previous one (13 page one) will not be able to complete.

I have over 20 different packing tag with many enemy, player, and effect types. I tried to send most useful one. Currently, I disabled packing in order to continue development.

If this is a resource problem (I have 16 GB of memory and I can see while packing Unity uses 11+) I can set a unique sprite packing for a couple of spritesheets, assuming file reading operations will still be minimal.

 

This seems to be showing up in 5.2.1f. Will this be patched again?

 

Fix did not make into 5.2.1p4, probably it will make into 5.2.2 or 5.2.2p1
For a quick workaround I split project into smaller pieces to overcome errors.

 

I confirm that it is solved in 5.2.2p2
First, I got out of memory error, but after a few tries and restarts, it successfully finished sprite packing completely. I'm so glad this is solved.

 

Oh, I had not seen that option. I already set GI to max in my 3D project, I'll get same for 2D too.
Great work, thank you very much

 

Annoying bug, and I wonder why this happens when I drastically reduce the texture max size for mobile with the texture overview asset. (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/16937) I read this thread, but in my case lot of textures shrinked by max size. Probably the atlas builder doesn't look at the max size?

(Unity 5.2.2f1)

 

still error in Unity5.2.2f1..when i build some sprites in a assetbundle with the same packing tag.
after succee.. i change one sprite's name...and build assetbundle again..
oh no. error shown!
Cannot load Atlas During Build/Enter Game. Missing File ?

 

It is solved in 5.2.2p2 and more than a week ago.
You can find it here: http://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases

 

I just did a packing using 5.2.2p3
You can see I have 30 pages of atlas, for just one boss. I have many bosses, player types, and effects here consisting 26 different packing tags.

 

Using 5.2.3f, and now instead of "Cannot load Atlas During Build/Enter Game. Missing File ?", we get:
"Cannot load Atlas During Build/Enter Game. Please rebuild Sprite Atlas", and I can not rebuild the atlas.

Also it seems the build sizes are inconsistent (I try remove tags and adding and instead of increasing or decreasing the build size just increases :?).

Also, I am not sure the packing makes total sense, since it looks as if even though there is enough room in an atlas, it keeps other textures in a different atlas even though it has enough room once they have already been split earlier before I limited the texture sizes.

This is a tremendous show stopper.

 

my solustion is when some sprites changed and you know MUST repack. goto your */Library/AtlaCached delete them all.
when build a new assetbundle will repack right.

 

Getting this too. 5.3.0f4. Deleting the cache seems to straighten things out until I change the packing tag on anything.

 

Same problem here too, since 5.2.x at least. Now also with 5.3.2. "Cannot load Atlas [ATLASNAME] During Build/Enter Game. Please rebuild Sprite Atlas". Clearing the atlas cache helps but the problem quickly appears again, and I think almost always when I switch build target between Standlone <-> Android. Anybody reproduced this on a small project and filed a bug?

 

Ah, didn't know about that setting, will try increasing the cache size. I'll also try to make the problem happen on a clean project at some point, if I have some time.

EDIT: It was set to 10 GB (btw you might want to add the unit GB to the UI there somewhere), I doubled it but I'm not sure this will make any difference. Last time I got the problem my AtlasCache folder was only 50 MB..

EDIT: I'm on Windows 10, Unity 5.3.2. This has been happening since 5.2 days at least.

 

This bug is getting very annoying. I'm now in 5.3.2p3 and I get "Cannot load Atlas [ATLASNAME] During Build/Enter Game. Please rebuild Sprite Atlas." several times a day, always when I change build target and basically most of time I touch any of the sprites I have. Workaround is to quit Unity, delete the AtlasCache folder and restart. These wasted minutes add up quickly..

I tried to reproduce this with a clean project for 1.5 hours, and could not make it happen. I copied all my sprites and their settings, atlases are basically the same but no luck getting the error reproduced so I could make a bug report.

 

Hi, I made a new thread for the issue with a bit more info, so I suggest we continue there.
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/sp...enter-game-please-rebuild-sprite-atlas.386524

I switch between Mac/Win standalone and Android, on Windows. I'll post editor logs and steps tomorrow.

 

Happens to me whenever I switch platforms without fail (across multiple projects too). Have to delete the atlas cache every time. Can't remember exactly when it started happening but it definitely happens at least on Unity 5.3.1-5.3.3.

As a side note (perhaps related), the sprite packer is very flaky with crunched textures. Crashes on various (all?) 24-bit RGB textures set to crunched (100% quality), etc. Cache size is set to max too.

 

I still get the error on Unity 5.3.4f1:

 

Close unity. Delete "Atlas Cache" folder from project "Library". Run unity and repack atlas

 

This is working but some builds later, the issue just reappear... -_-"

 

Got this issue in 5.3.6. We also got this in previous versions since 5.2 I believe when we started actively switching platforms for making automatic builds. This is very cool that Unity stuff don't know what is going on and can't strictly answer to our question.

 

Yep, I think I started getting this around 5.1 or 5.2..
