Hello community, I just profiled my android game in Profiler and in Memory Module I found a lot of memory is being used by something written here as UNITY as highlighted in image. I profiled this data directly on target device through release build. And I am not sure if this UNITY process utilizing memory is something related to only profiling or will this memory be used on End User device as well by UNITY process? Kindlyguide.
That’s basically all the memory usage that is tracked by Unity’s memory manager that does not fit into the other categories. So that’s native managers and allocations needed to run the different subsystems, as well as objects that are not tracked as audio, video or Gfx memory usage. You can switch from simple to detailed mode to get a more detailed break down, or use the memory Profiler package. We’ll be updating the package UI in the coming months to specifically break down these high level numbers into more detail.
The part that is labeled Profiler is the part that is pure profiling overhead. Some memory overhead can be down to it being a development build, but it’s usually not that much of a difference so, yeah, that is mostly going to be what users will end up with.
