playFab namespace can't be found,I have an issue with playfab namespace (error CS0246) it says the type or namespace name "PlayFab" can't be found.

The issue started suddenly because it was working perfectly fine before I don't understand what changed. All my Playfab methods are underlined in red because at the top of my code when I write using PlayFab and using PlayFab.ClientModels, it says the type or namespace "PlayFab" can't be found. Also, I have this message in visual studio saying "This unity project was not generated for the visual studio tools for unity. In your unity editor select visual studio for a better experience". But that is already selected from before and I didn't change anything I even went to double-check and it's still selected. I don't understand what is happening.

Thank you for your help.

As the error message indicate, the issue could be that the Unity is not properly configured to use the Visual Studio version that you are using. You can follow this tutorial to troubleshoot: Get started with Visual Studio and Unity. This issue is not likely caused by PlayFab, if you have any further question, you can contact the Visual Studio team or Unity team for help.

The issue is that I followed that tutorial when I started using unity and playfab and everything was working fine until one day it stopped but I didn't change anything.

You could try to clean the caches, update/reinstall Unity Engine and Visual Studio, remove any files that can cause this issue, check the external tools option in Unity, change the External Script Editor to something else then change back and see if it works. Since your entire Unity project is not connecting to the Visual Studio, it is not likely to be an issue of PlayFab. If you still encounter issue after trying solutions above, please contact the Visual Studio team or Unity team for help.

Typically, clean the caches and "Regenerate project files" in Unity Preferences → External Tools will resolve this isseu.
