Standard assets can't be found | Unity 2018.3.0f2

Question

I upgraded Unity version to 2018.3.0f2.

After I did it,

I couldn't find CrossPlatformInput in [Assets]tab -> [Import Package],

Where is it? Was it deleted? Or had been moved to another place?

Answer 1

You will need to download from asset store. Its no longer shipped in the installer it seems.

If you no longer have the standard assets .unitypackage on disk then you will need to download them again directly from the Asset Store. We no longer ship the standard assets in the 2018.2 installer, nor have they moved over to the new Package Manager system at this point in time.

Note: It would be better if you download the latest ones from asset store only instead of searching for old assets which may or may not be present on your system.

In case anyone wants to show up the packages in their options besides the Import packages here is the procedure:

• Go to your editor location typically i.e. C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor.
• Add Folder named Standard Assets.
• Copy Standard Assets unity package from path : %AppData%/Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x\Unity Technologies\Unity EssentialsAsset Packs.(I'm doubtful that "Asset Store-5.x" might be present as I have multiple Unity versions installed on my system so do check on for something similer)
• Place it in Standard Assets folder which you created in Unity Editor.
• Restart the editor.

.Note: This worked for my Unity 2018.2.17f1 on Windows 10. For other versions of OS, find the saved unity in the following paths :

• Win 7: %AppData%\Unity\Asset Store\
• Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Unity\Asset Store\
• Mac: ~/Library/Unity/Asset Store/

If you are unable to locate Standard Asset package, as an alternative you can search in windows top right corner which will search the file for you and locate if its present.

Edit: As per the 2018.3.7 this hack stopped working to show up packages in editor.
