Problem: Application.Reload forever when I press play
It was working perfectly fine the whole day, and this problem suddenly appeared. I have not even made any changes to the project. I tried to disable every single game object in the scene and still when I press play Application.Reload is going on forever. Restarting PC also doesn’t work.
Unity version: 2020.3.30f1 Windows
As I was making this post I found a “solution” on another forum that worked for me:
however it stops being stuck on Application.Reload whenever i edit/add a file to the assets (e.g. adding whitespace to a random script, saving and reentering unity) and then it enters playmode fine.
I’ve been using unity since 2014 but holy shit lately it has been so bad with the various bugs and workflow interruptions.
Just wanna chime in and say I have the exact same issue. It varies from day to day, it’s like there’s something that triggers this slow reload.
Some thread suggested it was related to some editor-window but I haven’t figured out which. Can’t remember the thread either sadly.
Update: I have noticed that if I use “Attach to Editor” from VS it somehow cancels the “Application Reload” being stuck.
Edit 1: another quick fix to this is to press the “Restart” button looking like a “go back/loop”-icon in Visual Studio.
It’s like there’s a thread just waiting for something to finish.
