Did you try to use 4.5.2?

Dear Tomas:
Thank you for your advice at first, and I have tried unity_4.5.2, but it throws a exception when game launch, and the abnormal as shown below:

“TaskHost.exe”(CLR C:\windows\system32\coreclr.dll: Silverlight AppDomain): 已加载“C:\Data\Programs{37466F55-A011-F44B-9378-B9BBDC5E7359}\Install\UnityEngine.DLL”。已加载符号。

“System.IO.FileLoadException”类型的第一次机会异常在 未知模块。 中发生

I ignore this exception just click continue, then it shows me :
未处理FileLoadException
“System.IO.FileLoadException”类型的未经处理的异常在 System.Windows.ni.dll 中发生

What should I do when met this problem, hope you can help me to solve this problem, thank you very much!

Have you done a clean build? I mean to empty directory, not on top of existing one?

5

Yes , I create a new directory when building our game.

6

Can you paste full player log from phone isolated storage?

7

Sorry, I may not be understanding fully but are you saying that when you launch your game on the 920, that it takes a long time to start up? I had this problem too but what I did was make the first scene in my game an empty scene that just loaded the next scene. That helped the load time upon start up to be just a couple seconds. Also turn off debug mode as that makes things much faster. (do a master build).

Hi, Tautvydas:
The full player log I have already pasted at #3, because the game would quit when caught “FileLoadException” , and in the Call stack window, we also can see that the exception happened in the System.Windows.ni.dll.

System.Windows.ni.dll!MS.Internal.JoltHelper.OnUnhandledException(object sender, System.UnhandledExceptionEventArgs args) 未知
[本机到托管的转换]
[托管到本机的转换]
Assembly-CSharp.DLL!UnityEngine.Internal.$Metadata.GetUnityType(int id) 未知
UnityEngine.DLL!UnityEngine.Internal.$MethodUtility.GetUnityType(int id, System.IntPtr method) 未知

Hi, Rajmahal:
I mean the time what takes a long time to start up is before my first scene running, as you can see from #1：
// this is a debug log info at my first scene Awake()
Time.realtimeSinceStartup1===================================16.12656
I also tried this game running on Android phone,but it running time is half wp8 platform.
And you say build game with master mode, it really make game faster a little, thanks!

10

#3 contains the Visual Studio output. I mean the actual player log from the device, extracted using Windows Phone Power Tools.

11

Sorry, I didn’t understand your mean before, and now I get the player log by using Windows Phone Power Tools, the log info as below:
Build from ‘release/4.5/release’ branch, version is ‘4.5.2f1 (9abb1b59b47c)’ (Release build).
Physical memory: 898 MB, commited memory limit: 380 MB.
Direct3D:
Version: Direct3D 11.0 [level 9.3]
Renderer: Qualcomm Adreno 225 (WDDM v1.2) (ID=0x32303032)
Vendor: Qualcomm
VRAM: 96 MB
Initialize engine version: 4.5.2f1 (9abb1b59b47c)

This is a fully player log info after launch, I 'm afraid it can’t help you much to analyze.

12

Does this happen only on master configuration, or on debug/release as well? Could you check whether it happens on the emulator?

13

It happens on all mode configuration, and the same is to emulator. In addition, the place where game paused is at :
// Code to execute on Unhandled Exceptions
private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
// An unhandled exception has occurred; break into the debugger
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
}
}
continue will be quit.

14

Is there any additional information on the exception object present?
