Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsGame Development: What's happened with my Game screen in Unity?
Help! Was hoping to learn a bit more about Unity in the last hour but the game screen was down despite debugging the game script.
At first I thought this was because the playerMovement Script had gone mising from there Frog Player object so I deleted that component and added it again whch cleared all coonsole errors and warnings.
But I still get this!
But the scene still works and as I say there's no console warnings or errors. Any ideas? :) Thanks.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsThanks Shane.
It's been a few days since I last used it but I was getting to the point where I was trying out the follow camera video. It's worked fine up to now on my desktop so it's worked in the past
And ive restarted the app a few times, finally to get this screenshot :)
Thanks :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsStill not working.
I experienced something similar on my (admittedly higher spec) laptop when I messed around with the transport settings but doing the same on the desktop hasn't had any effect.
I checked out the system requirement specs for Unity and it seems okay. "Anything made after 2004" should work it says.
My graphics card is AMD Radeon R7 200 Series Should that work? :)

7,324 PointsYeah, that should certainly be enough - so the problem lies elsewhere. I looked up the issue and there seems to be any number of causes and subsequent fixes. So just give it the ole' Google rundown and maybe one will work for you. I wish I knew more (or anything really) about Unity, but I sadly don't. :\
Hope you find something that fixes it for you, or another user comes along that knows what the issue might be.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsWell this is odd.
One thing I never noticed before was that the scale bar for the game was buddy. So it was showing us at NaN rather than 5x scale. I brought the game view back up by basically trying to scrub that playhead and then switching the Display camera from Display 1 to Display 2 and back. Switching the display views never worked before but now it has and and here it is. :-)
Nick Pettit, said that the version I'm using isn't a stable release. I just grabbed the first and newest version of Unity I could find so maybe it's just a bug that sneaked in. Hope it stays back up!

7,324 PointsNice, glad you got it figured out. These little, but annoying bugs are part of the fun of using the latest non-stable releases of software. :p

7,324 PointsI'm not really familiar with Unity in particular but for something like that I imagine it can use a lot of system resources. Maybe see if your system is capable of handling it. Also, I'm sure you've done this, but restarting the application might help fix the issue.
There could be a lot of reasons for this; maybe give a few Google searches a try. Something like 'Unity game tile black' or 'Unity game screen black no errors'.
Good luck. :)
