You can still view the version specific guides in their own section of the documentation such as the 2019.1 guide here. Note: The 2018.x, 2019.x and 2020.x Tech release guides have been compiled into the LTS guides. Visit the pages below for information about upgrading to later versions of Unity. For example, if you need to upgrade your project from 2018 to 2020, read the 2019 upgrade guides to see if there are any changes that you need to make before you read the 2020 upgrade guides.
Also, bring a machete because you're blazing a trail.Note: Follow the advice in this section in release order. ⭐️ For early adopters, plan and schedule accordingly to account for extra upgrade time. ⭐️ For games released with a decent player base, I highly recommend sticking to Unity LTS unless you absolutely need to upgrade for specific features. Early adopters will lose much time dealing with upgrade issues and bugs. ⭐️ As a game developer, it's without a doubt that time is your most valuable asset. 📌 Even Unity themselves, recommends releasing games on LTS. 📌 Before you write off 2019 as a special case, many devs are having similar issues with 2020. If you are unable to follow the steps above due to a corrupted install, follow the steps to Remove Visual Studio with the InstallCleanup.exe tool. From Programs and Features in the Control Panel, find 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2022', and uninstall it. However, make no mistake, these features will likely not be stable until late 2020.3.10+ or 2020.4.x LTS versions. Uninstall all instances of Visual Studio 2022 listed in the Visual Studio Installer. 📌 Features in the latest Unity, like 2020 make it very tempting to upgrade. This specific package had so many issues and changed so much that Unity eventually rebranded it to URP. 📌 I used the SRP package in a VR project, and it had many runtime bugs. 📌 Packages also had to be constantly upgraded, and this led to even more unknowns. A smarter strategy is to simply wait and upgrade between proven stable versions. 📌 In retrospect, the frequent upgrades were a huge waste of time.
📌 I found myself upgrading Unity often to get the latest bug fixes, but sometimes a new version would introduce another bug.
📌 New editor bugs can slow your development and unexpectedly break features. 📌 It is common for bugs to arise in versions prior to LTS, e.g. System requirements for Unity 2021.1 This page outlines the minimum system requirements you need to run Unity 2021.1 on all supported platforms. 📌 I early adopted 2019 in multiple projects, and it resulted in more headaches than good. Ubuntu Unity 22.10 (the latest stable release) Ubuntu Unity 22.04.1 (the latest LTS release) Ubuntu Unity 20.04.5 (the old LTS release) Other downloads. I've talked about what LTS is in a prior post, but now I want to list the reasons why I'm personally sticking with 2019 LTS and won't upgrade until 2020 LTS is released. Unity LTS (Long Term Support) does not always have the latest and greatest features, but all Unity developers should seriously consider using LTS over the latest release.
