Version 3.1.0.1
Project Selection screen:
New Project:
New Game: Error:An exception occurred while generating the template.
New Project:
Template: First Person Shooter: Error:An exception occurred while generating the template.

I think you get the drift....nothing works!

We are going more details than that. If I follow the same steps on my machine it works fine.

You are most likely missing some prerequisites/dependencies. Or there could be some trouble with nuget/internet and it fails to download the required packages.

Thanks for that, so what should I do? can I download the nuget packages manually? how can I find out what is missing?

I am guessing by this there is a problem with Microsoft.NET.Sdk?
