I’m noticing even slower recompile times than 2023.1 by at least 4 or 5 seconds, some times well over 20+ seconds. I’m using a new blank project as well with just 2 scripts. Not sure how to really debug what is causing such slower recompiles to give more detailed feedback. If you have advice on what i should look at to see what is causing even slower recompiles i can post results on it.

This takes forever, don’t even know what assets it’s importing since i’ve not added any new assets other than edit one script.

I noticed this… i know we all moaned a lot when unity would appear to freeze because it was doing something but that box is almost as annoying

It’s more that it seems to be regressing when Unity has taken steps to improve recompilation times. Very strange - i opened a larger project in 2023.1 and recompiled faster than an empty project in 2023.2 so something is definitely not right.

the box seems more and more prevelant. Another thing im not entirely sure when it changed id need to read all the patch notes, and life is too short, but previously if you opened in a new version, it was down to you to upgrade packages, now, it just decides to do it… So going from 2022.x to 2023.3 textmesh pro has changed and all the “essentials” are out of date and cause compile errors… because it updates without so much as a by your leave…

note these logs are possibly 2023.3 … its been a long day already

i also noticed the other night the talk back to unity was basically constant, under gdpr id love to know what its sharing… because unless i use package manager to download an asset, or, to update a package… but even once an hour seems, excessive… it says - but its not just a license check…

it does all that a couple or more times… really? how many times do you need to parse that file?? really?

so, is it easy to believe the file checking when unity regains focus has in efficiency, sure is, while the compiles take longer, im sure the stock answer is but we added…

Lotsa new goodies!
Especially nice to make the data bindings of UI Elements easier accessible.

Holy sh*t, that’s a lot of patch notes, downloading now. Thx for the hard work.

EDIT: Performance seems better, getting higher framerate and haven’t had a crash yet, though I haven’t been in the editor too long.

Was wary of big issues with the size of this update, but aside from a few broken prefab links that were easy to fix this all works fine.

Also, a fairly game breaking bug many of us were having with textmesh pro seems to be fixed, so kudos on that!

How to play OneShot audio when using the new AudioResource? We can assign the resource to the AudioSource and call play but PlayOneshot method requires clip as a parameter

PlayOneshot is currently only supported for AudioClip, but not yet AudioResource/AudioRandomContainer.

Can we expect it in 2032.2 updates or do we need to wait till 2023.3! Also, Is there a way we can get the clip from AudioResource?

You meant 2022. 2?

Sorry 2023.2

So basically i have tried to update my project from 2021.3 to 2023.2.1.
I deleted Library and start to import.
When I enter safe mode it instantly crashes.
When I ignore safe mode and start import it is stuck on compilation and requires insane amount of memory and crashes. I have increased my windows virtual memory to 1TB and it still crashes after long time of working.

Ending of log

1tb? wow thats a fairly big requriement…

That kinda makes figuring this out quicker. Maybe somebody will have a more targeted idea, but what you can do in the meantime is to just remove parts of the assets (ideally in a divide and conquer fashion) until at least safe mode works. That way you should be able to pinpoint the cause.
Don’t forget the Plugins folder as well as the content of Packages/manifest.json.
You could also start with the files in ProjectSettings. Think Unity can recreate those if missing (otherwise simply copy your assets into a clean project).

Something that acquires memory gets stuck in an endless loop, I suppose.

EDIT:
This is an interesting line from the log:
“Unloading broken assembly Library/ScriptAssemblies/Unity.Rider.Editor.dll, this assembly can cause crashes in the runtime”
Remove the Rider package from the manifest.json or reopen the project in the version it works and remove it through package manager.

Much as I like Rider for some things, it and its unity plugin are constantly at war it seems, plus earlier today i had a line of code, a real simple line of code…

int mask = LayerMask.GetMask("something");

and i was trying to change it to

int mask = LayerMask.GetMask(gameObject.CompareTag^^^^);

at the ^^^^ it freaked out wouldnt let me put ( and wouldnt let me do it after and edit, wouldnt even let me put them on the next line… in the end just had to close it all down and start again… Life is hard enough sometimes when you dont allow for all things and of course Murphys law applies that your code instantly finds it, but, the last thing you need to do is be fighting a glorified text editor

Yee… I have never been able to reproduce it on purpose but roughly once every two weeks the Undo/Redo functionality in Visual Studio completely messes up. Like the Redo starts inserting parts of the lines at the totally wrong place. Annoying when that happens.
Of course this has nothing to do with Unity.

No, ive had some real big shouting matches with it, but if you wanted it to so you could video it going from ok to freaked out… nothing and no it doesnt seem to be unity related…

Yes, I thought I will be able to solve it other way (my project have a lot of files/directories) but in the end I had to do this step by step.

The culprit of crash when entering Safe Mode was “Image Effects (Pro Only)” directory from “Standard Assets”.

But even after repairing compilation I still have this other error with not enough memory.
