Question by freefalll · Jul 20, 2012 at 03:22 AM · fileversioninvalidexpected

Android Unity crashes on splash screen. Invalid serialized file version, expected 3.5.2f2. Actual version: 3.5.3f3

So even with a completely default game with nothing added, when I install it on my android Unity crashes on the splash screen.I've been trying to work around this problem for a few hours now, still haven't found a solution anywhere. I got the adb and the logcat working, and I get the error of the invalid serialized file version (expected 3.5.2f2. Actual version: 3.5.3f3)

I understand this can be a problem with upgrading the software etc. So I did a complete uninstall and reinstalled from a newly downloaded installer. I create an empty project and uploaded it to my phone, to my surprise the problem persisted.

What might be causing this and what can I do to solve this? I'm running on a fresh trial and have not tried to patch or anything of that nature.

I fixed this after a long struggle. Decided to completely remove Unity from my system again. This means I:

  1. Uninstall Unity

  2. Manually remove Unity folder in Program Files (this includes MonoDevelop)

  3. Go to C:/Users/[yourusername]/AppData

  4. Remove all Unity folders from AppData/Local AppData/LocalLow and AppData/Roaming

  5. In AppData/Local, navigate to Virtual Store, in there should be Program Files which contains another Unity folder, delete this.

  6. Now comes the slightly more tricky part, I backed up my registry and then used find to look for Unity (in everything except Data. I found a few important Unity files this way (don't bother with all the file extension things), and deleted them. Beware to ALWAYS make a backup of your registry before changing anything.

Hope this solves it for anyone else who runs into this problem!

The problem definitely lies with an incorrect installation of Unity, or something along those lines.

It's been a while since I used a mac, but I guess there's two ways you can go about this:

  • Download some uninstall software like AppCleaner that will completely remove all traces of Unity/$$anonymous$$onodevelop.

  • $$anonymous$$anually go through all the preferences/libraries in your user folder and delete everything that is Unity/$$anonymous$$onodevelop related before reinstalling it.

Also don't forget to test it with a new empty project.

Hope that helps

I just ran into this issue upgrading to Unity 4.6

I followed steps 1-5 and re-installed. Worked correctly for me.
