(Case 1250452) SceneManager.GetSceneByBuildIndex does not workwith "Reload Scene" disabled

QFSW · May 30, 2020

Case 1250452
All the structs it returns are "default" and have no name and isLoaded is returned to be false, even when it is loaded. I got the following response from support

Thanks for reporting the issue. That seems to be the intended behaviour when Scene Reloading is disabled. When Scene Reloading is enabled, the Scene gets destroyed and then loaded. When it is disabled, the Scene does not get loaded but only reset: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ConfigurableEnterPlayMode.html

So, scene.isLoaded() returning True would be incorrect. More info: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SceneReloading.html

If something doesn't seem right or you have any other questions, please contact us again.

I responded back but have not heard further

I disagree that this is intended behavior

Yes the scene is never reloaded; it is also never unloaded other, so isLoaded should be true

Furthermore how do you explain the name being blank? Or how to work around it?

Thoughts? In my opinion it is clear that this is a bug? I'm okay with there being bugs, that's just something that happens, even if you say you can't be bothered to fix it, but I wish Unity didn't (and I've seen this a few times now) try to convince us that bugs are actually by design or intended. This is not by design or intended
