    At the moment the initialization of Unity Analytics is very unreliable.

    I often get "Initial GeoIP lookup fail: The GeoIP request has failed - make sure you're connected to an internet connection and try again." but my internet connection is fine.

    When I test the url in the browser (it is hardcodet in the unity analytics package), sometimes i get a result back, and sometimes i get:
    "Error: Server Error
    The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
    Please try again in 30 seconds."

    Hi @manuelgoellnitz

    Thanks for sharing this. The GeoIP lookup up you are referring to is part of the Analytics PIPL privacy consent check.
    We have escalated this and have engineers investigating.

    I will update this post when I have more news.

    Was there any update on this @Laurie-Unity ? Having the same issue and I think it may be behind long init times.
