Gaia prefabs missing all references - Unity bug?

[mroshaw]

Hello again!

I'm seeing some bizarre behaviour in Unity 2021.3. Basically, all of my prefabs seem to be broken. Here's an example:

If I click on the Gaia "Thunder" pre-fab within the Project window, I see this in the Inspector:

You'll note that there are no Thunder Strike Sounds listed.

If I double click the Prefab, this is what I see:

You'll see a bunch of parameters are different, and all the thunder sounds are there.

Unfortunately, when running the game it's the former that Unity "sees" - so I get errors that there are no thunder sounds set, for example.

This is across ALL prefabs, so every single prefab that I click on is missing all external references - unless I double click on the prefab, at which point they all magically re-appear. But cause Unity to break at run-time.

Have you come across this before at all?! I'm 100% sure it's not a Gaia fault, but a Unity one.

Thanks if you have any thoughts, but if not please do close this ticket.

Could you try right clicking on the prefab in the project window and then click 'reimport'.

I didn't even know such an option existed! Fixed, you're a life saver Josh!
