Support for Unity 5

[jurf]

Unity 5 is out (yay!), and among other things it introduces new ways to download and install Unity:

1. Installer: I haven't checked out this one, but it seems to be the easiest way - 636KB, downloads Unity automatically, so we don't need to update the script with a new SHA1SUM every update, not subject to change much - what's not to like? However, I haven't tested this, so I don't know what it installs along Unity.
2. Direct downloads: everything now has to be downloaded separately (yay?) - there's Unity+MD (64/32 bit), Standard Assets, Shaders, Example project. If we choose this path, we'll have to decide what to install and what not to.
3. Torrent file: probably not the best way, since it needs significant user interaction, and is much more complicated (the script exits if the files are not there).

So yeah, which one? Anyone who has tried the installer, please comment.

Hi, i test Unity5 on ubuntu 14.04 x64 with wine 1.7.37 Nvidia Gtx 260(340.58 proprietary driver). Unity x64 work, but not install .Net Framework 4.0 (not support on x64). Unity x86 works great, Nvidia with --force-opengl bugs present. Asset manager now work! Need more testing.

[jurf]

Try the unity3d_minimal.verb instead. It should work fine with the 64 bit editor.

[allkhor]

Mono develope not open without .Net Framework 4.0

[hlarsen]

i just used the Unity 5 installer under PlayOnLinux 32-bit WINE version 1.7.37 and everything installed without issue (by default, not using anything from the repo), but there isn't text in the editor menus (sound similar to #34). installing the PoL Tahoma package causes the text to appear.

i'm a first-time Unity user so i can't speak to much else, however loading an included test project (a sports car and some obstacles) and pressing play seems to work fine.

[jurf]

@allkhor it does open, although the WINEPREFIX is wrongly set when it is opened through Unity. Refer to #40.

@hlarsen nice, thanks! Could you describe the process of installing Unity with the installer, step-by-step preferably?

[hlarsen]

Install steps for Unity 5 under PlayonLinux:

1) Install PlayOnLinux and download the official Unity installer 2) Open PlayOnLinux and go to Tools > Manage Wine Version and download v1.7.37 x32 3) At the main PlayOnLinux menu hit Install > Install a non-listed program 4) During the installer, choose 'Install a program in a new virtual drive', give it a name, then select all three 'before installation options' (Use another version of Wine, Configure Wine, Install some libraries) 5) Select Wine version 1.7.37, and 32-bit 6) When wineconfig opens change windows version to Windows 7 and hit ok 7) Check the 'POL_Install_tahoma' script when selecting PoL scripts 8) Browse to the Unity 5 installer, go through as normal, and you should be good to go once it's done

Notes: 1) Wine 1.7.38 is available at this point, however I haven't tested it. 2) setting version to Win7 might be optional, it's just something i always do when setting up a new prefix.

I also got Unity 5 (64 bit) working generally using the method @hlarsen used above on Linux Mint 17.1 x64. I used the full windows installer that you get through clicking the small "Additional Downloads/For Windows" dropdown on Unity's website, and I used Wine v1.7.39 x64 and installed "tahoma" under the Install Components tab in PlayOnLinux configuration (after forgetting to do it initially, the first time I ran Unity there was no text). I can also confirm that setting the version to Win7 is optional; I didn't notice any difference between that and WinXPSp3.

It runs well enough to use, I loaded up my current project and getting above 60fps and everything seems to be working, although I am getting some screen tearing. I tried to use the -force-opengl argument, but ran into the crash mentioned in issue #2 and haven't found a workaround yet.

[marcs77]

I got Unity 5.0.0f4 32bits using @hlarsen method in Ubuntu 14.04 with wine version 1.7.37 and wine windows version Win7 and it works except for some minor issues such as crashing when clicking the get started button, a little bit of UI lag, and some weird visual bugs when I resize the tabs (Project, Hierarchy...) but I didn't get screen tearing though.

[jurf]

Thanks for the input everyone. @hlarsen I meant the Unity Installer, the one you mentioned in step 8, but never mind.

[jurf]

Damn, we really need something like loomio.

Okay, so if everyone agrees ('specially @Pendrokar), tomorrow I'm going to update the scripts. Since Unity functions well without any windows DLLs installed, I'm going to update the scripts likewise. If someone is having problems without something, please speak up.

So, tomorrow, I'm going to fork this repo. In the PoL and winetricks script, I'm going to change the installer to the 600KB one. Also, I'll remove all the DLL installations, make the style more consistent and update the header - take out the useless information like last edit date and insert license stuff and clean the usefull stuff.

Then I'll make a pull request. If you can test the new scripts it'll be super cool of you. If you don't like anything there, please write before it gets merged.

Thanks.

[Pendrokar]

@DoctorJellyface go ahead, I won't be using Unity on Linux for some time, since I am experimenting with a game idea for Kinect. So I have to use Windows.

And as noted by some. They say the extra DLLs are at fault for causing graphical glitches.

[jurf]

What license? GPLv3?

[aswinthomas]

Does anyone have issues opening monodevelop? My unity instalaltion works well, but monodevelop crashes

[jurf]

Tried right now, and works OK. However, I'm running in the default wineprefix, which is probably the problem. It's covered in #36.

However, there's a solution. Actually, a few of them:

1. Use a native MonoDevelop install. Probably the best option you've got.
2. If you really want to use the builtin MonoDevelop, you can use @Radivarig's scripts. This is also covered on the wiki.
3. Reinstall Unity in the default wineprefix (no scripts, just winetricks tahoma corefonts afterwards).

[Schroedingers-Cat]

Can we use the Debugger with the native MonoDevelop?

[jurf]

No idea. I haven't tried getting it working. But highlighting and completion works.

I am trying to run Unity from a flash drive, but it crashes when I try to create/open a project:

[aswinthomas]

Not sure if this is with unity 5 install only, but I'm getting this error when I run 'winetricks -q "./unity3d.verb"'

Note: command 'wine dotnetfx.exe /q /c:install.exe /q' returned status 26.  Aborting.

minimal version. works fine. With minimal you can install 64 bit and 32 bit Unity, but you get a black screen on Edit->preferences

I'd really like to use winetricks to make use of the wonderful native monodevelop scripts in this repo

[ghost]

I found a fix for my problem. I forget the exact path, but I needed to create an AppData folder in my wine directory.

[jurf]

@TheRealCodeCube @aswinthomas what Wine version are you running?

Also, could anyone test the scripts from #47 please? They should be completely compatible with Unity 5, but no-one tested them yet. Thanks!

[ghost]

@DoctorJellyface wine-1.7.38 (Staging) on Fedora fc21

[Schroedingers-Cat]

I'm testing #47. Script fails to download tahoma32.exe. I remember this not working months ago. Did you test it?

[speculees]

Ok, guys. :) I installed Unity 5 (32 bit) on Arch Linux via wine (also 32 bit). No problems during installation. However, on starting the example project Unity crashes leaving me with an error in terminal:

err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: libnvidia-glcore.so.340.76: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
err:wgl:has_opengl OpenGL support is disabled.

...so after typing:

$ ls /usr/lib32/ | grep nvidia
libnvidia-cfg.so
libnvidia-cfg.so.1
libnvidia-cfg.so.340.76
libnvidia-eglcore.so
libnvidia-glcore.so
libnvidia-glsi.so
libnvidia-tls.so
libnvidia-tls.so.340.76
nvidia

...i did: ln -s /usr/lib/libnvidia-glcore.so.340.76 /usr/lib32/libnvidia-glcore.so.340.76

...after trying to run it again I get this:

err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: libnvidia-glcore.so.340.76: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
err:wgl:has_opengl OpenGL support is disabled.

Any ideas maybe? Tnx anyway ;-)

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.42

[jurf]

@TheRealCodeCube hm, that's strange, 1.7.38 should already have a fix for that problem.

@Schroedingers-Cat you're running Ubuntu, aren't you?

@speculees hm, nvidia again. Well, I'm not sure you can use a 64 bit library as a 32 bit one. Have you installed the 32 bit nvidia drivers? Try consulting the Arch wiki for that.

Also, why don't you guys just use the 64 bit version if you have 64 bit systems? It runs flawlessly, what do you need more?

[speculees]

I'll try that, tnx dude. I'll get back to you. :)

[Schroedingers-Cat]

@DoctorJellyface yes, it is Ubuntu Gnome 15.04. Is this a known issue?

[jurf]

@Schroedingers-Cat not in 15.04, no. 14.04 had an issue with downloading Tahoma because of a faulty winetricks it had in the repos. Try downloading the newest winetricks from https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

@speculees happy to help.

[Schroedingers-Cat]

Using latest winetricks, I can start Unity 5 (x64). However, using the built-in MonoDevelop, I'm unable to start the debugging "Attach to process" does not show any process. Did this use to work?

[speculees]

Okay, I got it working. Tnx DoctorJellyface. :+1:

[jurf]

@Schroedingers-Cat I don't know, I never tried.

@speculees great!

[paxamit]

I installed Unity 5.01 x64 on clean wine prefix. Arch x64, wine with opengl patch. There was some errors from .NET during installation but every thing is working just fine. None custom setup required beside winetricks tahoma.

[speculees]

Ok. I have a minor problem now. :-) The thing is I can start MonoDevelop truogh Unity only once. If I close it I have to restart comuter before I can open it again...

[jurf]

@paxamit do you experience the #10 inner window delay bug? Which patch did you use? PlayOnLinux only has 32 bit opengl patched wine afaik.

@speculees builtin or native? Did you try looking at the processes?

[speculees]

I'm using builtin Unity Mono. On "ps aux | grep mono" i find this process: "1201 0.9 0.0 0 0 ? Zsl 17:23 0:35 [MonoDevelop.exe] " Sometimes when I close Mono, this process (1201) gets killed, and afterwards there is no way to open it again without restarting OS. Restarting only Unity Does not help.

[paxamit]

unfortunately I experience bug #10 but from quick tests performance without -force-opengl is even better so this isn't much of an issue for me. I used pkg from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-unity3d-git/ which use patches from https://github.com/Unity3D-Wine-Support/Unity3D-on-Wine.git (my wine-1.7.40-79) installed it without POL. Simple WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/unity5 wine UnitySetup64-5.0.1f1.exe worked just fine

[ZeronSix]

Is there a way to fix --force-opengl for 64-bit Unity3D installation?

[jurf]

See issue #2.

[ghost]

I installed Unity with PlayOnLinux and Unity is working fine. I want to use the native monodevelop, so I installed it and followed these steps: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Running_Unity_on_Linux_through_Wine#MonoDevelop_.28Native.29

But still monodevelop is not opening. Can you help me?

[Radivarig]

@YugoCode are you trying to open .js files?

[anddam]

I'm experiencing the same issue running wine 1.7.29 under Debian.

I used winecfg to setup a prefix in ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/unity3d, manually installed mono using the wine-mono msi provided by winehq.org (my wine instance doesn't do it automatically even if told so at the initial dialog). Then I used DoctorJellyface's latest winetricks verb calling '''winetricks unity3d.verb'''.

Once installed I get the same output that this thread shows

I tried to do the checks I could figure on my side, winetricks list-installed command confirms I have the following packages installed:

• corefonts
• ie8
• msls31
• tahoma
• vcrun2010

and I can see tahoma.ttf among the fonts in .local/share/wineprefixes/unity3d/drive_c/windows/Fonts/

Arialbd.TTF  courbd.ttf    Georgiaz.TTF  Times.TTF     Verdana.TTF
Arialbi.TTF  courbi.ttf    Impact.TTF    Trebucbd.ttf  Verdanaz.TTF
Ariali.TTF   couri.ttf     tahomabd.ttf  trebucbi.ttf  Webdings.TTF
Arial.TTF    cour.ttf      tahoma.ttf    trebucit.ttf
AriBlk.TTF   Georgiab.TTF  Timesbd.TTF   trebuc.ttf
Comicbd.TTF  Georgiai.TTF  Timesbi.TTF   Verdanab.TTF
Comic.TTF    Georgia.TTF   Timesi.TTF    Verdanai.TTF

so I'm not sure if I should edit anything in registry at all as per #18 since tahoma is already there.

Is there a way to debug what the issue actually is?

I do not want to go through PlayOnLinux, I'm staying with system's wine/winetricks.

edit: I forgot to mention I set up WINEARCH to win32 before installing, and that the winetricks verb installed Unity 5.0.1f1 32bit.

[ghost]

@Radivarig No, just csharp files. :(

[Radivarig]

Please replace native script with the following file as external editor, (give it +x rights)

#!/bin/sh
echo $@ >> ~/u3d_args

open any file and post the content of u3d_args

[jurf]

@anddam what issue are you referencing? It's not clear from your comment.

Right now I would suggest you to updated your Wine. The script installed IE8, which means that your wine is version is < 1.7.34, so for example your Asset Store won't work.

Also, you will want to try using a newer Winetricks.

Could you attach a screenshot so we can see the problem? Thanks.

[anddam]

@DoctorJellyface my bad, I initially thought this ticket was specific to missing fonts like in #18 and #34 with the difference that this was for 5 release.

In my description I linked a message to answer.unity3d.com showing the very same issue, the direct link to the image in the initial message of that thread is this, I get the very same output. Notice that the missing font issue happens on a windows system in that thread.

Do you confirm you have a working Unity5 setup on your linux system? There are many reference that this is due to missing fonts but I don't seem to be missing any of those, can you provide a list of the installed fonts in your wineprefix?

[jurf]

Ah, I missed that, sorry.

Yes, I do have a working Unity 5 installation. There have been some references, but usually it was the fault of either old packages or incorrect installation. I would suggest you start over, and installing unity with just the winetricks script and see what it does. I don't think overwriting an existing prefix with winetricks is a good idea. What system are you running btw?

$ ls .wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/
Arialbd.TTF  courbd.ttf    Georgiaz.TTF  Times.TTF     Verdana.TTF
Arialbi.TTF  courbi.ttf    Impact.TTF    Trebucbd.ttf  Verdanaz.TTF

Also, PlayOnLinux users, please test #50. If it's correct, I'll merge and close this issue. Thanks.

[scoutroden]

Is anyone maintaining the script at https://github.com/Unity3D-Wine-Support/Unity3D-on-Wine/blob/master/unity.pol ?

The script to install Unity3d game development environment/tools has some bugs related to target download file version and the md5 hash not matching.

The current path to update the script with is: POL_Download "http://netstorage.unity3d.com/unity/0b02744d4013/UnityDownloadAssistant-5.0.2f1.exe" "dfdb5394ee22260da4aea09e5f233314"

The current path to update the script with is: http://netstorage.unity3d.com/unity/910d71450a97/UnityDownloadAssistant-5.3.3f1.exe and the hash should be corrected to "b80a457c11dc30074d43dd3adefecab1"

I did manually update a copy of the script here, but I am not a pro like y'all, so when I changed the line to read for the new hash, it just ignored that, and still threw the same error, as if I had never changed it. My new line is:

POL_Download "http://netstorage.unity3d.com/unity/910d71450a97/UnityDownloadAssistant-5.3.3f1.exe" "b80a457c11dc30074d43dd3adefecab1"

Why didn't this fix the snag? How do I proceed to install Unity3d? Thanks!
