How can I speed up the constant waiting caused by the 2020 HOLd On LoaDinG BaR
That hold on loading bar makes me want to quit unity every single day
couple of things about this bar
If you hold down click on the bar and bounce it around while you wait, it will never go away unless mouse up on exit game.
I hate this bar. Whoever wanted it I hate.
I get nothing out of it
There’s an option in the preferences to choose how long it takes before it shows. ‘Busy progress delay’. See: Unity - Manual: Preferences
It’s there to tell you that Unity is locked up for whatever reason. Either some single thread process is taking a long time, or something has gotten stuck.
If it wasn’t there I imagine people would be complaining that Unity is locking up for no reason. Unity added due to user feedback, and put the preference there to tune it to your liking.
Versions 2021+ provide more detail about what Unity is doing exactly when it pops up.
And if it’s showing up excessively, like doing normal stuff that normally wouldn’t show it, then there maybe something up with your project. Worth a Library clean or a dive into the profiler to see what’s chewing up all that time. I only ever see it for a quick second during domain reloads myself.
