ApplicationTickTimer freezes the Editor for a long time over and over again

    Hi there,

    I created an object editor to manipulate the meshes of my game objects.
    Currently I am facing a huge problem: The editor freezes when I edit one of my objects. This does not happen every time I edit an object, but it happens very, very often. This is extremely annoying because when editing a level, I have to perform hundreds of these operations just to create one object and the editor sometimes freezes for 30 seonds or more.

    I tried to find the reason for this but the profiler gives me ApplicationTickTimer as the source of the problem and shows several hundred errors, for which I can't find a method to track them down. The console does not log anything.


    How is this possible and what can I do?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Best

    So nothing on this issue?
    Currently I am even facing freezes for several minutes... Can't figure out, what's going on :(

    I'll second this issue. Have you submitted a bug report on it yet?

    I figured out that it was ApplicationTickTimer causing the stalling for me when I looked at the editor log and found this snippet:



    Can't say our issues are identical, but the freezes happen randomly for me without any specific action taking place. I doubt it's my computer, since nothing else has this problem or stalls at all.

    Case #1097249 submission.

    I want to also add that I get the stuttering/freezing issues with a blank, brand new project. The editor becomes complete unresponsive for a few seconds, then when it becomes responsive again, there's between 5 seconds and a few minutes of time before it stops responding again.

    Attached image of profile session with completely blank project in 2018.2.14f1, just the editor running.

    you can see where even Unity isn't sure what is going on.
