Reproduction steps:
1. Open attached project "PrefabNotLoaded"
2. Open scene "Demo"
3. Enter play mode
4. Observe the Console Window
--- You should see that LoadAsset<GameObject> (assetname) returns null
Asset bundle in question contains
Assets:
- Assets/Cube.prefab
- Assets/Cube.mat
Calling LoadAsset<GameObject> ("Cube") returns null
Workaround:
Use LoadAsset("Cube.prefab") instead of LoadAsset<GameObject> ("Cube")

I got the same junk in 5.6p4. I can load my assets fine with just the name - no file extension - unless it's a .prefab, which seems to be treated specially for no good reason

I'm using unity 5.5.0f3 and I'm having this same issue. It's wasn't until I found this post that suggested I add .prefab to the end of my asset call that it fixed my issue. Maybe this is the new way Unity is handling loading asset bundles?

It would be nice to see this backported to the 5.3.x branch also.

Hi,
Glad to see this bug is fixed. So in which version of Unity we could get this fix?
