Does Unity still have a 4GB resource File limitation?

[MWMDragon]

I was working in an old version of Unity (5.3.0) and there was a limit on having a resource “.ResS” file larger than 4 GB in the build of the game, or the game would start failing to load textures and other artifacts. It was due to a 32 bit signed integer or something.

Is this still a limitation in the new versions of Unity?

As far as I’m aware, yes. Same with individual scenes.

Yes, I believe this limitation exists in all versions of Unity. The best way I found to get around this nonsense is to use additive scene loading. When you need more than 4GB per scene, break the scene into multiple scenes and then use additive scene loading to get around the limitation.

Here is another thread on the topic:

Bug: 4GB limit to Textures in standalone build

There appears to be a hard limit of 4GB of textures in the standalone build. If your project has more than 4GB of textures, then some of the textures in standalone build will be messed up. While this limitation may be acceptable for mobile projects, this limit is completely unacceptable for PC projects. There are currently two threads in the forum about this bug: https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/textures-messed-up-in-windows-build.440675/ https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/texture-problem-gr…

This is how I get around it as well. Alternatively you could try asset bundles.
