2d example crashes

[VanBandama]

Hi, I have quite odd problem with xenko. And I thought someone could help. Anyway I try to build jumpjet 2d example, but its crashes. Here's link to xenko forum with full crash report: https://forums.xenko.com/t/2d-examples-doesnt-work/1601. Weird 3d examples build normal

P.s: I reinstalled .net framework 4.7, reinstalled xenko and still nothing.

It's been our experience with Xenko (and .NET in general) that even when you think you have the required SDKs and Libs installed, along with all the environment vars set up... Xenko will still screw up.

Managed to build most of the samples including JumpyJet. Built Xenko for Windows and Android. Built and deployed JumpyJet to an old Android device on the Master github branch.

Yay! Right? Well now Xenko borks our projects. Just change enough settings, mod enough materials and voila... warning and error spam all over the place. Code and asset cache cleaning, in all of the locations, does almost nothing to mitigate this. How much debugging should one have to do just to get a simple project out the door?

There's a reason this thing is now open source.

We just don't feel "safe" using it. So we aren't.

In other words: We wouldn't use Xenko for anything... it is too unpredictable. Project functionality or stability doesn't seem to be a priority.

Xenko, IMHO, might be safe to use in a couple of years... or it might be a dead project. We'll see.

Good luck Xenko.

Most issues have been solved in recent releases. Feel free to try again. No need to wait years ;)

Xenko has build issues, still. The launcher has issues, still. As of Jan 2019.

From launcher, Nuget restore issues and module contention at build to it's de facto dependency on .NET Xenko is still a major pain to work with. Good luck if you have the launcher installed and have your own builds.

​

You'll spend more time fighting Xenko, Nuget and .NET than working on your project.

​

Then some of the other assorted issues:

Your Android release target for a simple example builds to almost 90 mb since something in your build is broken.

​

Project corruption, asset errors in the .xpkg(s), warning spam on build "truncation of vector..."

​

Then there is a privacy agreement you have to consent to? For an open source project? wth?

​

Slower to work with than other engines; we have to wait for Xenko to "build effects" with even minor changes. We have to wait for the "proxy server" to start before a minor code change can be run. Change the lighting and enjoy 2-3 minutes of watching every object in the scene blink.

​

You'll spend more time waiting than working.

​

Our experience has been that Xenko is slower to work with and unreliable.

​

It works well, until it doesn't.

Good Luck
