Unity 2017.3 stuck on white screen
I installed Unity 2017.3.0b3. When I start, the white screen lights up and nothing happens. Tried Unity 2017.3.0b3 and 2017.3.0b4. Version 2017.1 is working fine.
I have the same issue with 2017.3.0b5. Also for me version 2017.1 is working fine. Windows7. I was able to create a new project but the same issue occurs when I try to open it. Nothing shows but white. If I minimize and maximize the screen the screen is black. The menu dropdowns show menu options but most things display a blank white screen dialog. Changing the layout doesn't work either.
You should post 2017.3 beta related issues in its dedicated forum for these things, chances a pretty good to find help there.
Here is the link to the 2017.3 beta forum:
At least to me that problem was related to the network issues or connecting to the unity server because of 'unityshadercompiler.exe' and 'Node.js / Node.exe', which i think came with the 2017 versions since the problems i had came after the update.
I have a software with which i am able to block internet access for certain programs and i have set it so it automatically blocks any new softwares that want access to the internet.
Immediately after the update i had issues connecting to the unity servers. After many many hours of struggling (i uninstalled unity couple of times and even renewed my licence) and i was ready to delete unity and install earlier version i then finally noticed that the 'Node.js or node.exe', (Node.js: Server-side Javascript), was blocked so i couldn't open any projects since unity wasn't able to connect servers and gave me a message,
"Failed to start Unity Package Manager: Operation timed out. Please see the 'Editor.log' file for more information".
When i enabled it so it had access to the internet the connecting server issues where gone but... it only opened Unity project with a blank white "screen" and had to force shutdown Unity every time i tried to open my projects. I then noticed that 'unityshadercompiler.exe' was also blocked so i enabled it too. After that, no problems at all. So:
'Node.exe/Node.js' blocked: No server access and evil Unity Package Manager messages.
'unityshadercompiler.exe' blocked: A blank white project.
But i don't think you have a similar internet blocking software installed so it also could be an issue with your firewall so maybe try to add unity folder (at least the editor folder) to it's 'exceptions list'.
Hi @Gi$$anonymous$$iTiUs .
The Unity Package $$anonymous$$anager should work offline. I'm surprised you had an error there with your internet blocking software. Can you try to look at your hosts file? It should be located here:
On Windows:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
On macOS:
/etc/hosts
$$anonymous$$ake sure the localhost host name is defined like this
127.0.0.1 localhost
Let me know if it resolve the issue!
Pascal
I have the same issue. Did anyone manage to solve this?
Have you tried to open unity by double clicking on a unity scene file ?
