Memory Size field in WEBGL Player settings missing

Hi, i wanted to try unity 2019 with a little webgl project that I was asked and couldnt find the field Memory Size in the publishing settings, is this a bug? in the documentation it says its where it always was...

 

I'm facing the same problem, did you manage to solve it?

 

"WebGL
With this release, WebAssembly is the default output format for Unity WebGL. In addition, asm.js has been removed from the Editor UI, which was deprecated in 2018.3. To reflect these changes, the asm.js-specific Use PreBuilt Engine build option is no longer available. WebGL Player Settings have also been updated: Linker Target and Memory Size are set to WebGLLinkerTarget.Wasm and 32MB respectively, and they have been removed from the Editor UI. However, it is still possible to modify these settings via the Editor script.

In this release, we also introduce experimental WebAssembly multithreading, which can be enabled via PlayerSettings.WebGL.threadsSupport. See this forum post for more information."

This has become a huge issue for my students learning game development with the 2D and 3D Game Kits. The size of the kits require raising TOTAL_MEMORY to avoid an Out of Memory error on the browser, but the UI setting is now gone. The workaround is to edit the .json file with a text editor, which has proven to difficult for students first exposed to Unity development in an intro course pitched as zero-code. What possessed Unity to remove this setting?

BTW, you can save a preset and manually edit the webGLMemorySize property. I currently have the students download this custom preset and add it to their projects, then select it in Player Settings. It also includes some other things, like removing WebGL 1.0 from Graphics APIs and enabling WebAssembly Streaming.

 

How do you edit that property in the .HTML file? Do you have an example? I'm really stuck

 

After building your game, in the output directory open ./Build/YourProjectName.json using your code editor and change the "TOTAL_MEMORY" property to a bigger number (it represents the total size of the Unity Heap in bytes, allocated in the browser). Try to keep this number as low as possible though, as the browser limits your total available memory and I do think it is browser-dependent.

Taken from the docs:

 

What are you talking about? Unity is managing this automatically now.

 

No it doesn't. It runs out of memory pretty quickly. Whatever they are doing, its not working reliably. But I would expect nothing less anyways xD.

 

I'm still a bit lost on this, none of the files inside the "Build" folder are .json.
I got:

• [Game].data.gz
• [Game].framework.js.gz
• [Game].loader.js (this one could be it but it didn't have anything related to "TOTAL_MEMORY"
• [Game].wasm.gz

Extracting some of those GZip weren't fruitful either.

 

Same situation here. For some reason, it's very difficult to find a way to change the total memory to be allocated for WebGL builds. With newer versions of Unity coming out the output files of Webgl exports are changing. Plenty of resources online which tell you how to optimize WebGL builds but none show how to increase the memory size.

 

PlayerSettings.WebGL.memorySize
"This setting has been deprecated and does not have any effect on WebAssembly builds."

Unity 2021 LTS

My WebGL build crashes when uploading large GIF files ("RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds").
Previousely, I was able to fix this by setting WebGL Memory Size.

What should I do now? The output folder doesn't contain any json files where I could find "TOTAL_MEMORY" =(((((
