Download Scene in background

Unity Engine

Hello,

I can not find solution after 2 days of experiments.

What it the problem :

I need to download Scene that is marked as Addressable in the background, while player plays other level.

Because my scenes are about 30-50mb it is not desirable for me to make players wait every time.

I need to download scene like a plain Addressables gameobject, that can be loaded after, somewhere in game, but it is already downloaded on mobile and is ready to use.

With :
Addressables.LoadAssetAsync

OR

Addressables.LoadAssetAsync

The Result and Result.Scene return null

Please help.

Addressables.LoadSceneAsync(address)

It’s a separate API for scenes. You can also call Addressables.DownloadDependenciesAsync(address) to just download in the background without loading into memory, then call LoadSceneAsync when you need it.

The problem with LoadSceneAsync is that it loads scene after downloading process and also don’t want to use SceneInstance.activateOnLoad.

I will try DownloadDependenciesAsync. Seems it will solve my problem.

Thank you very much

ProtoTerminator, It works with “DownloadDependenciesAsync”
