Multiple IndexOutOfRangeExceptions are thrown after selecting a saved Profile Capture that was serialized with another Editor version

Unity: Serialization

Won't Fix

6.6.X

6.5.X

6000.5.0b1 onwards

This was caused by a change in the format of the YAML file to support automatic conversion of primitive arrays. The format has since evolved and is again compatible with older versions of Unity, but there is still that brief period where the format is not compatible and we won't fix that.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the attached project
In the Profile window, select the saved Profile capture
Observe the Console window

Actual results: Multiple IndexOutOfRangeExceptions and a GUI Error are thrown that don't explain what caused the issue

Expected results: Profiler window fails gracefully, informing the user if the capture data cannot be used

Reproducible with versions: 6000.5.0b1, 6000.5.0b9, 6000.6.0a5

Not reproducible with versions: 6000.0.75f1, 6000.3.15f1, 6000.4.7f1, 6000.5.0a9

Tested on (OS): macOS 26.4.1

Notes:

The issue occurs in a project with and without a fresh library folder
Closing and re-opening the Profiler window removes the serialization problem
