What do you mean by initial download? You can tell the addressables to download any asset through: Code (CSharp): /// <summary> /// Downloads dependencies of assets marked with the specified label or address. /// </summary> /// <param name="key">The key of the asset(s) to load dependencies for.</param> /// <returns>The AsyncOperationHandle for the dependency load.</returns> public static AsyncOperationHandle DownloadDependenciesAsync(object key) { return m_Addressables.DownloadDependenciesAsync(key); }
