Assetbundles never identical

[sebas771]

Hi,

When I build twice the same assetbundle from the same asset, the resulting assetbundles are never identical. This because there is a sort of ever changing signature that looks like this one:

CAB-cf9ecc3e1ad2c5a4fb48514655dba97d

I’d like to know what the Unity engineers were thinking when they decided to introduce this ever changing signature. What is it and what is it for?

The id Is generated randomly exept if you use its option:BuildAssetBundleOptions.DeterministicAssetBundle

This allows you to rebuild an asset bundle and reference assets in it directly. When rebuilding the asset bundle the objects in it are guaranteed to have the same id after rebuilding the asset bundle.
