Asset Store Failure

I have had absolutely no luck with Asset Store purchases in any way. I have followed all of the forums and Q&A’s yet still nothing happens.

I’m logged in, I’m a member, and currently hold a student-version Pro license, yet I can’t get into the Unity Store or acquire Assets of any kind every time I try to do so. I have even turned off my web shield, firewall, AND added the asset store’s URL to my exceptions list so that my firewall would ignore it. Still, I can’t download a single thing.

I don’t even get a “Loading…” dialogue with this failure, I just get a blank, gray, screen that makes me even more frustrated with every passing moment. When I move the mouse over the gray Asset Store “loading” screen it will at times change from a standard cursor to a pointer hand suggesting that content is there, but no manner of clicking provides any results. Even right clicking simply brings up a drop down message of “localized string not found.” Here’s a screen shot of what I’m dealing with; can anyone help?

Are you able to access assetstore.unity3d.com in IE/Firefox/Chrome?

Sometimes I used to get an error with “kharma.unity3d.com”. That error would be spat out again, then the AS will load. I suspect it could be overload, or something else like a upstream proxy blocking your connection.

The string not found is likely due to UnityTech not localizing the QTWebView strings - the AS section is actually done via QT4/QT5 if I remember correctly.

The one common solution you haven’t mentioned is to disable DX11 mode for your target player settings (enabling this setting also makes the Editor run in DX11 mode - as can be seen in the DX11 suffix in the application title bar in your screenshot, and has been known to cause problems with the asset store window for certain graphics cards).

If you genuinely are targetting DX11, you can always change the player settings again after importing an asset.
