New user - Manager files not opening in AC Game Editor (Using first 2D tutorial)
New user going through the 2D primer here:
I use the New Game Wizard to create the 2D project as instructed. At 4:20 he mentions the ManagerPackage file, and how you can double-click it to reassign the manager files if they get changed. The video instructs you to load the 2D demo, which changes everything back to the Demo2D scene, and then instructs you to double click the new 2D Game managerpackage file you've created to reassign everything back to your new project.
For me, this isn't working. When I load the demo project, then attempt to double-click the ManagerPackage file, it doesn't open it back up, neither does right-clicking and choosing open. This is the same for the other managers in my 2D project as well.
So, once I load the demo project, I'm unable to load my own tutorial project back up. I tried deleting the entire Unity project and starting from scratch, but it did the exact same thing. It appears the "Asset file" window in the Scene tab of the Game Editor is grayed out, but still continues to show the Demo scene instead of the one I open (see below):
Can anyone help me figure out how to open the Manager files?
Howdy, Stranger!

Welcome to the community, @MisterL.
The way the demo managers work has changed since the tutorial was created - apologies for the confusuion.
With the newer release, the Demo game's Managers are assigned automatically (and temporarily) when the Demo scene is opened. To return to your own game's Managers, just create a new scene or re-open the sample scene if you opted to install it as part of the New Game Wizard.
Fantastic! Works great.
Thank you Chris, and thank you for this wonderful tool you've created! Really looking forward to seeing what I can create with it!
