I am trying to open a project from a company, the problem is, nobody has this problem except me, so one can replicate it.

When i open the project i get the following issues:

There seems to be a file that it cannot be parsed, which makes none of the components to be loaded, an a visual studio solution to not be created. I do not have any sln’s, so i cannot make or edit any scripts.

I have both Visual Studio Editor and Visual Studio Code Editor. Everytime i tried to reinstall any of these, the JSON parse error would pop up again.

When i go to External Tools in Preferences, Microsoft Visual Studio shows as (Internal) instead of it’s actual version.

My theory is that this JSON file error, that i cannot track what file is from, does not let me generate any csproj or sln, which does not let me start the project. Regenerate project files is also not an option either.

This is the full error, but i cannot make anything out of it.

ArgumentException: JSON parse error: The document is empty.

Starting other projects seem to work, but this one specifically just doesn’t. I tried reinstalling the unity version (2022.3.5), reinstalling visual studio, the visual studio tools for unity on both ends, and nothing works.

Does anyone know what this could be? thanks in advance!
