Failed importing package
When ever i try to open one of my friends packages that he send me, like if he made a scene and sent it to me i cant open it. I get these 2 errors
Error while importing package: Package has unknown format Failed importing package
Nothings wrong or weird about his package i saw what was in it on his screen, it was all made using unity and blender. It should be working
Also we both have the same version of unity. If anyone can offer me any advise it would be greatly appreciated

Either: He has some assets he didn't send you.
Or ...
You're trying to use the import feature. Don't. Unzip his files to a folder and then open the project file. It ends with ".unity"
dracorat what do you mean? he send me the file in unity format .unity then i go to import and i click on that file he send me. He didnt send me the file zipped.
I doubt he sent you all the files you need then, unless it's a very very basic project (using only the built in geometries and scripts).
Commonly, one would zip their entire project folder and send that, upon which the recipient would unzip it and load the .unity file.
Also, you don't use "import" - you just "open project" or double click the .unity file.
Ok thanks a lot man you've been a really big help. But one last thing, if he's trying to send me his entire scene, would he include all the assets in the scene, or would he have to send the assets to me separately.
