Question by Whiteleaf · Dec 14, 2015 at 05:52 PM · crashingunity 5.2

[Unity 5] Unity crashing when I place any UI element - URGENT

Unity 5 crashes every time I type more than 2 1/2 lines of text in a UI text, or when I have more than 3 of them in the scene. It also happens if I place any UI element in my scene(just found out). It has crashed 5 times now because of this. I only have till tonight to finish my game(Ludum Dare), and this is holding me back big time.

Honestly I'm really ticked off because this hasn't ever happened to me before and it's happened 4 times now. Does anyone know what's going on?

Unity 5.2.0f3, 32 bit.

First of all, install pathes to the NEWEST version. Things like that are common in Unity 5, I had much harded core bugs.

You should definitely write about this in your post-mortem. The most important thing is to realize this is 100% your fault for using new tech in a time-limited project. That goes for every sort of software -- even a system that you know is better in every way, you plan for snags getting it to work.

So, a really good use of a game jam. $$anonymous$$ost people just make some silly game and never learn anything. I'm serious about that.

And just noting -- you write that it crashes when any UI element is in the scene, and also when you add 2.5 lines? How does it ever get to the that second thing? It sounds like you're too flustered to really debug it. I'd acknowledge that, and switch to a GUIText or 3DText or some other old tech (which I'm assu$$anonymous$$g you know? Or are you completely new to Unity.) I'm assu$$anonymous$$g you can't simply cut out text in favor of pictures.

General: Saying your question is urgent or important to you because you have a tight schedule is not important to anyone else. Posting such questions will not get you vip treatment, ins$$anonymous$$d they are more likely to receive negative reactions and no help at all. ;)

Also you should use more specific topics. Unity 5.2 is ok, but adding some "UI" topics might reach out to people who can help.

This Question: Just update Unity. Unity 5 - 5.2 is known to have many very annoying bugs.
