Unity keeps loading a scene forever while I'm working on it....should I be worried?

I attached a screenshot to show what I mean and circled it in red. It’s been doing it forever…like it’s stuck like that. I can work on the scene though with no problems, it just stays like that.

Unity eventually crashed after 30 minutes…it keeps happening in this scene

Looks like it building for lightmaps?

Go into window at top anc click lighting. uncheck automatic build

only build lightmaps when needed

You’re right, it doesn’t crash now. It’s such a strange problem. Should I simply create a new scene? Because if I’ll want to build lightmaps in my current scene it will crash anyway

I dont think itll crash as long as you manually bake the lightmaps and wait. I had problems when i tried to bake and then went to do other stuff. You want it to bake and build the lightmaps without interuption. Like dont go and set stuff in your scene while its baking. And dont play it while its baking cause itll pause while in play mode. Just wait it ou. Depending on how much its baking it shouldnt take long,

You want it to build the lightmaps. So if you create another scene your only baking to that scene not the scene that you want. If you do want to bake for that scene then fine, but no matter what scene you have its going to do the same thing.

Patience :wink:
