Autocomplete not working for VSCode with Unity

The question is as the title says.

My settings:

Unity version: 2020.3.24f1 (it's the LTS)

VS Code version: 1.63.0

I got some extensions for VS Code: C#, VS IntelliCode (don't think this matters)

Things that I've done:

  1. https://forum.unity.com/threads/cant-get-vscode-to-work-properly-with-unity.538224/
  2. https://forum.unity.com/threads/intellisense-not-working-for-visual-studio-code.812040/
  3. Unity VSCode autocomplete Intellisense not working
  4. Installation issue with Visual Studio using Unity
  5. How to get Visual Studio to recommend unity codes
  6. Unity Scripts edited in Visual studio don't provide autocomplete
  7. VSCode with unity c# autocomplete problem
  8. Unity VSCode Intellisense not working in 2020 version

TL;DR -

I've set Visual Studio Code as my external script editor, tried downloading mono editor + gtk thing, snippet tool is NOT what I want, restarted my computer, and few more that I can't even remember.

Please don't recommend other editors than VS Code because I see so many thread pointing to VS Community 2019 and I just can't see how VS Community solution is relevant to VS Code.

I have tried many things and this guide solved it for me. Notice we must install dot net 4.7 instead of a newer version, otherwise if you go over to the 'output' section of vs code you'd see Omnisharp complaining about not having that version of dot net.

I had the same issue and I solved it randomly so I will tell you the things I tried:

  1. uncheck all options in unity>edit>preferences>external editor>generate .csharp. I checked all of them because a youtuber told me but then I saw that input system and cinemachine namespaces won't work so I unchecked them, now it works, it also helped on autocomplete.

  2. download unitydev extension package from VS Code extensions, this package has all the needed documents and snippets and autocomplete assets.

  3. try to regenerate files and reset argument, change editor to something else and see if it won't work there too!

  4. most important: downgrade vscodes pakcage in unity package manager. I think I used 1.2.0 and it worked.
