    [Unity 2018.4.18; Addressables 1.7.5]

    Since upgrading from 1.6.2 to 1.7.5 I have the following problem:
    - load addressable scene (additive)
    - set a game object as DontDestroyOnLoad in script
    - load another addressable scene (not additive)
    - all direct references (prefabs, sprites, ...) in the game object that was marked DontDestroyOnLoad become missing

    Is there a way to increase the addressable ref counter of the first scene without using LoadSceneAsync?

    Thanks.
    It would be good to know if this is working as designed.

    bump
    Do I need to start planning to remove all DontDestroyOnLoad uses from my project? Is this a bug that will be fixed in an upcoming update? Is there a workaround to keep the scene in memory?

    Hey @Patrick_PS I think from the handle you get from that first scene load you did and call handle.Acquire(); and that should bump the ref count. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

    Addressables.ResourceManager.Acquire(handle) did the job, thanks a lot. I was able to upgrade the addressables plugin to the newest version without issue.
