Hi, I’m going crazy because I can’t update my project. After upgrading from Unity 2020.1 to Unity 2021.3, my FPS dropped from 125 to 90, I’m using the same scene, the same angle. Unity 6 is even worse! What’s happening?
Check the profiler to see, profile in builds, check new settings, and if after that there is no indication of what it is, file a bug report since others (incl me) cannot reproduce the regression
Even in a completely empty scene, with just a camera and no directional light, it takes 0.8 ms. But in Unity 2020.1, the same empty scene only uses 0.2 ms.
Settings have changed. In 2022+ the default URP asset even has SSAO.
Soft shadows in 2022+ default to medium instead of low in 2021 and previous.
Without seeing the project I cannot say much about that, other than that it indeed sucks.
If you’ve checked all settings, file a bug report with both projects attached
In default Render Pipeline, an empty scene in Unity 2020.1 takes 0.2 ms, while in Unity 2021.3 it takes 0.8 ms, and in Unity 6 it takes 1.1 ms! Does anyone know why?

I just tried updating my project from 2019.4 to 2023.2 and the reload times are twice, time it takes to enter the game is twice. Not exactly twice, but definitely close, but then there are the crashes, this is adding a lot of time, and is making me really dislike the editor. Some things are faster like Il2CPP build times. But I only needed to support a addon that is supported by 2022+ so I have no option except to. I wish would offer a Unity “lite” version instead of making each new editor slower with features and make it impossible to use, if a lite version existed I would use it.
There is some logic about how newer editors target modern hardware, so fps drops because it does more, but in my mind newer = faster all around, because at least with racing and sports, newer generations are often faster than previous generations, that is the idea.. But does not seem to be the same motivation with IDEs and editor applications (Unity) since developers are not as important as end users I suppose editor ergonomics is of no concern.
2023.2 is very old. Use 6.0.
For the performance, file bug reports so it can be fixed
