    I think OP means hot reload at runtime?

    Does anyone ever use hot reload?

    I find it too brittle even with normal MB workflows and requires careful programming not to mess it up, and spending time fixing things when you messed up, and often the state after a reload isn't something testable anymore anyway.

    Shader hot reload during play mode is exceptionally useful for debugging. If scripts can do the same, that would be amazing but scripts have more mature debugging and inspection programs so not being able to is not as critical as shader hot reloading (where the only debugging is what is or is not rendered).

    I rebuild the entire game (after fixing code) and reupload to steam. Takes ~2 hours, but not released yet, so only playtesters would complain.
    Because the code is IL2CPP and Bursted, I would not know any hacky way to fix issues after building.

    Yes but rather custom frameworks. 1:15:00:


    Unfortunately host didn't ask about any details.
