Unity3d Cannot open project | Fatal Error - The Project is on case sensitive file system

Question

I startet a unity-project, I installed the github plugin - https://unity.github.com/ I had a weird bug and I needed to delete my local project and I reinstalled Unity. I have Linux Subsystem on Windows 10 and I used it to git clone url my repo/project Now when I try to open the project with unity I get the following Error: FATAL ERROR! The Project is on case sensitive file system.

But when I create a new project in the same directory R:/Unity_Projects/it works. How can i resolve this Issue? Is it because of the Linux Subsystem that the folder i cloned from git is case-sensitive? If so how can I undo this? I tried fsutil file setcasesensitiveinfo Unity_Projects/ disable but it doesn't change the behaviour. I also tried to use a different hard drive but I get the same fatal error

Answer 1

I ran into this same issue tonight and tried using MinGW to run git clone instead of the Linux Subsystem, and it worked fine.

Hope you've solved your issue!
