the new asset store is slow, the personal area quite unuseable

i understand that you are creating the ultimate asset store all web based.
but what we need is to browse without waiting 60 seconds (if not more) to see our bought assets, see what is updateable and eventually download the updates

it takes a lot to show the list (ok i have hundreds of assets maybe is this the problem?)
then i have to wait for all the status to be async loaded… another 60 seconds.
then i have to sort by status (another wait)
then scroll down to the Update section.

luckily i use the wonderful GYA (Grab Your Assets) so i have to do this just once in a while
because it’s really the worse developed part of the Unity ecosystem

i hope you can make a standalone superfast personal area in the future

ciao and keep up the good work

Viewing my purchased assets is so slow (and it locks up Unity) and I’m getting quite sick of it. It can take several minutes to get the results. They need to hire a programmer to fix this issue. As a developer myself I can’t understand how this can be so slow. Perhaps they need to research caching and optimizing queries?

Yes, that is a fact and that works very slow. Maybe they use ruby on rails as back-end, what requires more resources and could be slow.

I was unable to purchase any of the bundles. I could purchase individual items from the old store but did not really find anything I needed. Bundle would have been nice but through the old store, it appeared to add items I already owned and the new store simply did not work for me. It froze and would not allow me to pay.

I have had this problem for a while and it has really saved me a lot of money! lol :slight_smile: Hope it gets fixed soon or at the very least, give us a better cart experience on the old store.

Maybe @AndrewAssetStore can fix the bundle issue before the sale is over.

The new store is growing on me for window shopping. Except for when I want to see an asset’s screenshots. Then I switch to the old store so I can use the forward and back buttons to move through screenshots.

But I always use the old store to access my list of purchased assets because the new store’s purchased assets list is unusable when the list is large.

For me, it is unusable even with one item in the cart. At least I have all of your stuff @TonyLi !!

I’m experiencing the same problem attempting to view my purchased assets and then sort by Status. The Unity editor is locking up, and was even still frozen after leaving it for an hour. This must be fixed if the old asset store is retired. I am using the latest release of Unity. I have around 1000 assets, and fairly slow DSL.

Why can’t all the asset metadata for all of the assets be downloaded in one call, and then cached? The amount of data needed to display the list is not very much. This way, sorting the list after this first call would be super fast. Most of the time, I am just wanting to find the assets that need to be updated, but I don’t use Update All, as that also has issues.
