How to determine where memory is allocated?

Hey! There is something wrong with my player loop, I made a mistake somewhere. I don't understand where
memory is allocated here. If anyone has any ideas on how to track this, I'd be very grateful.

It doesn't happen every frame.

 

I've not actually used it, but this sounds like a situation where you might want to look at the preview memory profiler: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.memoryprofiler@0.6/manual/index.html

 

It's somewhere inside Player.FixedUpdate(). If you enable deep profiling, it'll give you a lot better information about this (although the game runs slower!)

One thing to be very aware of is that some methods have editor-only allocations, GetComponent<> being the main offender. Either profile builds, or rewrite code to use TryGetComponent if that's a problem.

 

thank you very much, didn't know about deep profiling. It really helped me find memory allocations.
