Stop Editor From Crashing

Question

Is there any possible way to stop the editor from crashing anytime it receives an exception? It would be useful to just have the "game" crash - instead of having everything go down in flames. It makes debugging very difficult, since these errors are only thrown in unity and not in other test environments. Any ideas would be very helpful.

Do you get this message in the Console after starting Unity? If so, do what it suggests!

 Your 64 bit Windows installation is missing an imporant service pack patch.

No, i guess he's "producing" an exception that isn't handled in his game and that terminates the Unity editor when you test in the editor.

Usually all exceptions related to the Unity API are caught by Unity itself and displaying an error in the console. I guess he's using something from the .NET / $$anonymous$$ono library that is quite sensitive against misuse like: Threads, FileIO, Networking / Sockets, other OS native code related things.

There is a small chance of a bug in Unity, but most the time it's a fault by the user ;)

Btw, this question is 2 years old and the OP wasn't online since then ... ^^

Umh, must have clicked it in the "Related Questions" suggestions and then answered by instinct, sorry. It's confusing (but obviously intentional), that these usually refer to ancient questions.

:) Well, unanswered, buried questions also deserve an answer ;) Otherwise it would make more sense to delete the whole question...
