I go for a walk to explore the nearby forest. I am lucky to be living so near nature, in a small swedish city.

+It's terrible. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
+
+I got a flash of inspiration to make some shader art for ChilloutVR. I have done this a bunch before, but not in almost a year now. I found out why.
+
+Unity 2021.3.23f1 is the recommended version for the ChilloutVR CCK (Content Creation Kit), so that's what I tried to use. It was getting about halfway through the asset loading before just freezing until I killed it. Looking in the logs revealed that the last thing it did was call bee_backend
+
+I found this forum post with the exact same issue and a workaround! This is quite rare. I added the script as instructed and the issue changed, wohoo...
+
+It was still crashing every time, but now because of a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV).
+Sometimes it would produce a stack trace after, saying that the editor died while trying to change graphics tier.
+
+Caught fatal signal - signo:11 code:1 errno:0 addr:(nil) +Obtained 6 stack frames. +#0 0x007afe7cd5d1d0 in __sigaction +#1 0x0059982af74663 in OnGraphicsTierSwitched() +#2 0x0059982bd49070 in ApplyBuildTargetSwitchInternal(BuildTargetPlatformGroup, BuildTargetPlatform, int) +#3 0x0059982bd4844b in SwitchActiveBuildTargetForEmulation(BuildTargetPlatformGroup, BuildTargetPlatform, int, bool, bool) +#4 0x005998296f6a73 in EditorUserBuildSettings_CUSTOM_SwitchActiveBuildTargetAndSubtarget(BuildTargetPlatformGroup, BuildTargetPlatform, int) +#5 0x00000041703f61 in (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEditor.EditorUserBuildSettings:SwitchActiveBuildTargetAndSubtarget (UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup,UnityEditor.BuildTarget,int) +Launching bug reporter ++
+(the bug reporter did not launch most of the time)
+
+So I updated unity to 2021.3.41f1, since it's LTS it should still be compatible with the CCK.
+I had to apply the bee_backend fix again
+The only change was that the stack traces were deeper, revealing the real source of the issue:

+CCK_Init:.cctor (), the CCK init constructor.
+
+That's just a c# script. I can edit those.
+I deleted the whole constructor, and now unity launches, incredible.
+Obviously it is there for a reason though, but luckily there was a much newer version of the CCK (3.10 instead of 3.5), and after installing that, the editor still seems to be working correctly.
+
+I wasted like an hour fixing this, and my inspiration is long gone, but at least I can make something next time.
+
+The reason I hadn't done anything since september was that i had to update to unity 2021 from unity 2019, and it didn't work on linux. I did some stuff in my windows VM but ultimately it's too annoying to work in so it put me off content creation until now.
+
+Even though chillout caused the crash, I'm pretty sure this is unity's fault. The linux editor has always been flaky and I feel like a user c# script shouldn't cause segfaults in the editor that easily.
