Reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1" were not found

I try to open a Unity3D project with VSCode under Linux (Ubuntu 18.10). The omnisharp extension doesn't load the project, saying assemblies were not found.

It may seems very stupide, but i'm not really used to .Net yet, and i have been stuck with this error for quite some days now. I have been trying re-installing dotnet (even using the snap package), mono, vscode and the omnisharp extension.

So any help is welcome ! :)

On newer OmniSharp versions (for .NET 6 development) the "Omnisharp: Use modern Net" option needs to be disabled. Maybe change it for the local workspace only in order to keep your non-unity .NET core projects unaffected.

VS Code: File > Preferences > Settings (optional: > Workspace tab) > Omnisharp: Use modern net

Alternatively change the .vscode/settings.json file, inside either your home folder (global setting) or the project workspace (local setting).

.vscode/settings.json: { [...] "omnisharp.useModernNet": false, [...] }

For Windows 10 users out there:


If you're still encountering this Omnisharp error:

The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1 were not found.
  1. Close VS Code if it's already open

  2. Download and Install .NETFramework 4.7.1 Developer Pack
    https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net471
    (VS Code might suggest newer versions but as of 3/25/2022 they don't work)

  3. Reopen the Unity Project in VS Code


The steps above should resolve the issue, but if you're still having problems (e.g., Intellisense not working properly), try adjusting your Unity settings:

  1. Open your Unity project, click Edit > Project Settings... > Player > Other Settings > API Compatibility Level (Under Configuration)

  2. Change API Compatibility Level to .NET 4.x

  3. Restart Unity & VS Code

I had the same issue but on OSX. Installing latest version of Mono cleared up the missing .net v4.7.1 framework references.

I installed Mono V5.18.0 from https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable

Update: See comment below regarding global omnisharp setting

After one day researching whats going wrong. with .NETFRAMEWORK 4.7 on ubuntu and unity. I solved this by changing omnisharp:useglobalmenu to always inside VSCODE setting. here is a solution link I found https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/3613#issuecomment-677451385

Tried the steps mentioned here, did not resolve the error. Had to do change the omnisharp.useGlobalMono option to always. This worked for C# extension for VS Code=1.23.2.

Source: Reddit Post

Your error output tells me that you're using the official C# extension for VS Code. The latest version of said extension, 1.23.2, has this to say in its changelog:

For Mono-based development (e.g. Unity) that requires full .NET framework, you need to set "omnisharp.useGlobalMono": "always". This

is needed until Mono upgrades their bundled MSBuild version

The default setting, auto, does not work. Switch it to always and restart the extension. Alternatively you could downgrade to 1.23.1.

I had the same issue and here is how I fixed it.

  1. Download the latest stable Mono from here and install.

  2. Add FrameworkPathOverride to the .bash_profile

export FrameworkPathOverride=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current

Restart VSCode and It works.

In Linux mint 18.3 Sylvia (Ubuntu 16.04) install mono-devel like https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin. Then execute in terminal

export FrameworkPathOverride=/etc/mono/4.5

Open VScode and it works.This is what worked for me on a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04.

I was in the same situation and I found a workaround here : https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues/2728

You have to export FrameworkPathOverride=/lib/mono/4.5 and the .NETFramework will be found.
