Reload Assemblies making enterplaymode take long

Questions & Answers

I’ve seen others saying that clicking the play button takes them only a second or two to get into play mode. For me it takes around 7-9 seconds every time regardless of if I do the switching build target trick (to reload the targeted platform) or click play several times consecutively.

Thus, I tried profiling the editor a few times to try and find where my issues may arise. Then this got logged,

ReloadAssemblies is taking more than 4 seconds by itself. Is it even normal for ReloadAssemblies to trigger every single time I press play? If so, is it avoidable?

I’ve seen this, LockReloadAssemblies which I haven’t tried as it doesn’t seem like something I should use to solve this (though I’ll try it). Has anyone else had this issue or maybe know of something I can try?

I’ve got this problem as well, but I don’t know what to do…

profile your editor, it is often caused by “reaload assemblies”'s GC.

Switched to Unity 2021 from 2019 and suddenly got this problem as well. Never had this before. What’s going on?
