Question by VaygrEmpire · Jan 19, 2017 at 05:58 PM · unity 5updateversion

question about unity version update

My current Unity version is 5.4.0f3. I need to update to 5.5.0f3. Check Update didn't give me option to update to 5.5.0f3, instead, it gave me an option to update to 5.4.4f1. So I'm assuming I need to override the current version by re-installing new version - 5.5.0f3 - in the same folder.

What happens if I do this? Will I still be able to use my previous projects? Should I install new version in separate folder?

I always install new versions in seperate folders if im working on a project with a $$anonymous$$m that NEEDS TO or specifically tells me its REQUIRED that they work in version x of Unity

You will still be able to open and run and use projects done in older versions of Unity, but when you open them for the first time in the new version, itll basically say "This project was made in version x, and your running version y, which is much newer, you might run into compatibility issues, but do you wanna upgrade this project to version y?" which basically means... If there was anything in your project that used features or code that was supported in version x, and may not be supported or changed heavily in some way in version y... It might not work - I have rarely ever experienced problems with this, unless theres JavaScript in one of my projects im upgrading

Normally, you should be fine to upgrade, but even as Unity suggests when upgrading, you should make a backup of your project, put it somewhere else before upgrading, just in case it does run into issues, you can at least just revert back to your old project, but youd have to launch Unity version x before trying to open that project
