My Computer Crashed While Coding in Unity—Now I’m Stuck!

Asked By CuriousCoder92 On

I was following a Unity tutorial and had just started writing my first script to change the velocity of an object when the screen suddenly went black. My computer was running super slow, and I had to restart it by holding the power button. When I got back into Unity, it opened in safe mode, and the console showed an error about not recognizing a "`" character in my script. Every time I tried to open the script, it gave me an error instead of loading it properly. I followed some advice to delete the .vs, Library, and Obj folders, but when Unity opened Visual Studio Code, it tried to open the script as a blank binary file. The tutorial didn't cover this issue at all! Can anyone help me fix this?

Don't forget to take it easy on your computer—it might just be getting old and struggling with the latest software. If it's a really old machine, that might explain the memory issues. And remember, this isn’t StackOverflow; let’s keep things friendly while troubleshooting!

First things first, after a crash like that, the best move is often to reinstall Unity and clean up your project files. Your computer shouldn’t really have issues with such a simple script unless something's off with the cooling or if you're running low on resources. That error code is probably more useful for your own research—focus on troubleshooting instead of waiting for someone to decode it for you.

Hey there! It sounds like a classic case of a crash after overloading your system. I’d recommend starting a brand new project from scratch to see if it runs smoothly. If that works, then it might be something funky with your previous files. If you're still hitting snags, consider reinstalling Unity altogether. Also, what are your computer specs? Some tasks in game development can be really demanding, so it helps to know if your setup can handle it.
