Unity version >= 5.3.0 wont render startup screen

[Gnumaru]

Starting with version 5.3.0, the startup screen, the one where you enter your login and password and chose wheter to create a new project or open an existing one, will not render propperly, only a blank/gray screen will show.

This issue has also been reported to show up on windows, as you can see here:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity3d-5-3-not-working.372682/

But the sollution given (manually create some specific folders an extract some specific packages on them) wont work with wine.

I have installed unity 5.3.1 under windows 10 64bit and had this exact issue, but the sollution mentioned on the forum thread solved the problem. But running under wine, the sollution was not enough and the screen is still totally gray.

At this point it's probably better to just use the native linux version. The last release is working really well for me.

I was using the "5.3.0f4+20151218_amd64" build, which was glitchy beyond usability for me. But I had not realized that yesterday a new build was available, the "5.3.1f1+20160106_amd64" version.

I have just tested the 20160106 build now, and it is indeed a lot better than the build 20151218. Since 20160106 was so unstable, I was thinking in sticking in running unity 5.2.4 under wine until the linux build could become more stable, but it seems that I already can switch to the linux build now.

Thanks for pointing out the new build.

I'm having issues with it actually... I would agree,the Native versions are still very buggy and maybe even experimental. On Linux a similar thing occurred. But I had to copy some packages over to the user's local uinty3d directory As Decribed here .

However such solution seems impractical in the Wine version u.u Anyone has any other suggestions?
