    Now it is common for me. It happens at least 6 times a day to me. And I have already lost many hours of work. I have Unity 2017.1. Fix it please!!!

    A dozen crashes a day with this error on MacOS with latest version of Unity. Praying for a fix.

    Ouch, save often and always before play mode! My scripts were not erased, but my editor creations were. Sadness is overwhelming. =P

    Please, please release an urgent fix for this bug! I get this up to 10 times a day working on projects! Occurs mostly switching between monoDevelop and Unity Editor often during debug sessions.

    Zeday, this issue doesn't affect scripts. It affects the editor, not monodevelop or your other scripting programs, so just don't close out of your other programs. I hope this helps you moving forward if you ever experience this issue again.

    A possible fix is on the way.

    I'm new to Unity so I thought that maybe this was a known issue with a workaround. I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only one with this issue but very annoyed like everyone else at the amount of work I've lost.

    Same thing for me: Occurs randomly after about 30 minutes to an hour. I've found that sometimes my work reverts to a state before my most recent save of the project which forces me to pray every time I reopen after a crash that my work didn't revert too far.

    Working with a MacBook Pro.

    009, I started experiencing this error almost immediately upon installing 2017.1.0f3. I did not enable the Collaboration service and had it occur several times. So far, the "using Visual Studio as script editor and hitting the Play button" seems to be the most likely trigger in my case. But since it doesn't always happen right at the instance that I hit play or quit play, I can't be certain.
