Updating panel visibility hangs when loading textures from resources

UI UGUI
1

Basically the issue is. I want to load about 48 images (it’s an image pack inside an app), so I do the following:

  1. Turn on panel that says “Loading… please wait…”.
  2. Load resources (textures from resource lib)
  3. Torn off load panel.

What happens is:

  1. App hangs.
  2. Panel are turned on/off so fast you don’t see it at all.
  3. Resources are loaded.

I’ve tried to force an update of the canvas before loading, but it still does the same.
Removing the resouces load and panel off, correctly turns on the loading panel.

Anyone?

Are you using Unity - Scripting API: Resources.Load? That will hang until the loading is done. Have you tried to use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.LoadAsync.html instead?

Ah I didn’t know there was an async version? Thanks :slight_smile:
