Lag caused by initializing Ads.

When ever I request ads in my game which is in the second scene, upon opening the scene I notice terrible lag for 1-2 seconds.
What advice do you have for me to prevent this lag.
I have already tried Initializing it in my main menu scene assuming it would load during the splash screen however this was not the case and still there was noticeable lag.
I know that you have to download the data before its needed but not sure how to accomplish this using Adtapsy.

 

me too
have you found any solution ?

 

You've brought a dead thread alive... Should create a new one since this is 2 years old.

But the simple approach is to pause the game when it loads the ad.. Something like this should work. This is what i use in my unity ads.

Code (CSharp):

1.  public void ShowRewardedVideo()
2.     {
3.         StartCoroutine(WaitForAd());
4.         ShowOptions options = new ShowOptions();
5.         options.resultCallback = HandleShowResult;
6.  
7.         Advertisement.Show("rewardedVideo", options);
8.     }
9.  
10.     void HandleShowResult(ShowResult result)
11.     {
12.         if (result == ShowResult.Finished)
13.         {
14.             Game.current.Gold += 15;
15.             Gold.text = "" + Game.current.Gold;
16.             Game.current.adCounter = 1;
17.          
18.          
19.             SaveLoad.SaveGame();
20.             Debug.Log("Video completed - Offer a reward to the player");
21.             // Reward your player here.
22.  
23.         }
24.         else if (result == ShowResult.Skipped)
25.         {
26.             Debug.LogWarning("Video was skipped - Do NOT reward the player");
27.  
28.         }
29.         else if (result == ShowResult.Failed)
30.         {
31.             Debug.LogError("Video failed to show");
32.  
33.         }
34.     }
35.  
36.  
37.     IEnumerator WaitForAd()
38.     {
39.         float currentTimeScale = Time.timeScale;
40.         Time.timeScale = 0f;
41.         yield return null;
42.  
43.         while (Advertisement.isShowing)
44.             yield return null;
45.  
46.         Time.timeScale = currentTimeScale;
47.     }
