My game lags in Android

Hello

I finally finalized my game for Android and with the luck I have!
It is not working properly. I have a tablet (Galaxy Tab E) and my game, but way too much time to throw and lag when navigating the game!
The worst part is that there is no 3d Object!
I can't even imagine, if I had put it on!
My game is simple and works with Unity's UI feature!
It's all in 2D and works with Canvas Image! + ADS !!

I do not understand why the game lags on Android !?



On my PC it works, but when I test on the tablet it takes time to load!
I put the Statistics in picture, but my "Batches" of my stats is only 29!


I've been researching the forums on the current problem. I followed the advice to put my GameObject in Static and uses the function of the code "SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync" but still the same when loading on Android ...
(For the record I only used two scenes, because the game simply works with images!)

Could someone help me make it more fluid on Android?
I was ready to publish the game, but if it just lags on tablet and phone. No one will play it if the game takes 3 minutes to throw!

Thanks in advance for your help !

 

GUI.Repaint tells me you are using OnGUI calls. Avoid them at all cost, they are for in the editor.
Its also generating 1.1kb of garbage every frame which can kill performance on mobile.

Other than that, with SetPass calls only being 2 its not a draw call issue. (Batches are not draw calls the SetPass calls are. You can check this with the frame debugger.)

It could be due to overdraw, if you have a lot of transparency.

Without a project, I can only make assumptions.

 

Hi Chris
Thank you for your reply and coming to my rescue!

The current problem and I do not understand the table "Profiler" and do not understand everything that has marked in the statistics! Hence the reason for my misunderstanding of the problem I have today!

What I can say and answer to you is that I do not use the OnGUI function!
That's what's strange!

On the other hand, i can you say I only use the

• "UI" functions of the
• "Sprite" of "List" or SpriteRender,
• Random.Range and a lot of
• Gameobject.Setactive for the functionality of the menu ...

The only problem I thought about afterwards is that my project is virtually sure "one" scene. For the reason I didn't think that a simple game like that could lags.

Do I have to review my scripts? If I understood correctly the "CPU" should not be at 1ms and also the same for the "GPU"?
The CPU is about everything coding? And GPU all that is graphic?

What solution can I bring to improve my game, without starting all over again?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

 

Maybe an asset you downloaded or a package is using it. Check in on that GUI.Repaint in the profiler and see where it might be coming from. You might need to set it to deep profile.

 

Ok, I'll look at that. But I didn't download anything in my game... The games only use that "UI" with "Sprite" images... A simple game, which is built only with images !! this disgusts me with unity3d how that it can be in lags!
thx

 

Can't find the solution. It's starting to me off!
https://forum.unity.com/threads/gui-repaint-remove.94730/

 

Yes that's right! I'm 5.6 Unity, How do you know that? I'll see what I can do thank you @MartinTilo

I'll see for the version of Unity but the problem is that the new version does not have the same functionality and does not like at all what unity has become! It's incomprehensible! Why is it a problem to be on a version like the one I have?

 

Here's the profiler when I launch the project. My tablet is connecting with unity and here in pictures the profile the app running... For the second scene, she's not launch! I try to launch my second scene directly on my tablet with the profiler connect! Problem! My console displays "Warning"

I'm saturating of Unity3D

 

After an hour, I managed to record the profile statistics of my 2nd scene, here after correcting the problems of "Warning" Here is the display of the profiler connect to my tablet for the 2nd scene!

 

The first scene is only a loading scene to see the time of the load of my 2nd with the code (SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync) that's why my scene is also very bad, because it loads my game from the 2nd scene! (My whole game is based on the second scene) one of my project mistakes. but i Don't think of such a big lag!

I'll test see other version of unity3d on another pc on will see well but I'm very sad about all this housekeeping!

I'll try to see if I can send you more images with a better detail of the profiler! Tell me what exactly you want to see if you don't mind? Thanks again to you and other person who could possibly help me!

What disgusts me is that all the time I devote teaches me new things yes... But I think I'm in a situation where I'm going to have to re-arrange my scenes to be able to move forward again. I made mistakes yes but very disappointed of the software of unity3d for a game with only (sprites) and that does not exceed the GB!

 

I would add that the problem does not come from the tablet. Because it is empty and I think for a Galaxy Tab E tablet it is largely recent for it to work properly. Especially since I test games like Ubisoft in 3d that works great!
Thank you for the people who takes the time to help me!

 

here are graphic images of the profiler of my first test scene on the loading of the game!

 

Thank you very much @MartinTilo for your patience and your help on my problem!

I will disable the Debug.Log

I had to use this method compared to the delays of launching my game ...

OK, I turn off "DebugLog" to remove GC. Collect!
Here are my Coroutines: I have two scripts that use this feature...

LoadingScript :

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Start () {
2.      
3.     }
4.  
5.     // Update is called once per frame
6.     void Update()
7.     {
8.         CounterSceneSuivante += Time.deltaTime * 1;
9.  
10.         if (CounterSceneSuivante > 10f)
11.         {
12.  
13.             ActiveScene = true;
14.  
15.         }
16.  
17.         if (ActiveScene)
18.         {
19.  
20.             StartCoroutine(AsynchronousLoad("GuessCelebrity"));
21.  
22.         }
23.     }
24.  
25.     IEnumerator AsynchronousLoad(string GuessCelebrity)
26.     {
27.         yield return null;
28.  
29.         AsyncOperation ao = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync("Scene01");
30.         ao.allowSceneActivation = false;
31.  
32.         while (!ao.isDone)
33.         {
34.          
35.             float progress = Mathf.Clamp01(ao.progress / 0.9f);
36.             TextCharge.text = "" + (progress * 100) + "%";
37.             //Debug.Log("Loading progress: " + (progress * 100) + "%");
38.  
39.             // Loading completed
40.             if (ao.progress == 0.9f)
41.             {
42.                 ao.allowSceneActivation = true;
43.             }
44.  
45.             yield return null;
46.         }
47.     }

and ADSManager :

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ADSManagers : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public Text rewardText;
3.     private int rewardCount = 0;
4.  
5.     private string gameId = "";
6.  
7.     string placementId_video = "video";
8.     string placementId_rewardedVideo = "rewardedVideo";
9.  
10.     private bool testMode = true;
11.  
12.     // Use this for initialization
13.     void Start () {
14.  
15.         if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.IPhonePlayer)
16.             gameId = "";
17.         else if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android)
18.             gameId = "";
19.  
20.         Monetization.Initialize(gameId, testMode);
21.     }
22.  
23.     public void ShowAd()
24.     {
25.         StartCoroutine(WaitForAd());
26.     }
27.  
28.     public void ShowRewardedAd()
29.     {
30.         StartCoroutine(WaitForAd(true));
31.     }
32.     IEnumerator WaitForAd(bool reward=false)
33.     {
34.         string placementId = reward ? placementId_rewardedVideo : placementId_video;
35.         while (!Monetization.IsReady(placementId))
36.         {
37.             yield return null;
38.         }
39.  
40.         ShowAdPlacementContent ad = null;
41.         ad = Monetization.GetPlacementContent(placementId) as ShowAdPlacementContent;
42.  
43.         if (ad != null)
44.         {
45.             ad.Show(AdFinished);
46.         }
47.     }
48.  
49.     void AdFinished(ShowResult result)
50.     {
51.         if (result == ShowResult.Finished)
52.         {
53.             // Reward the player
54.             rewardCount++;
55.             rewardText.text = rewardCount.ToString();
56.         }
57.     }
58.     // Update is called once per frame
59.     void Update () {
60.      
61.     }
62. }

The further I go, the more I learn in this performance fight that finally I start to believe that the problem comes from writing my scripts! It's a lot further than I think...


It's always the same again... I have you sent here several screenshots of Timeline and the Hirarchie where she climbs to the top of the game ...

Tell me what you think... Thank you again...

 

and other again

 

As I understand it @MartinTilo , do I have to review all my scripts?

This is not a piece of play that I have to change, but rather the whole game! I am broken and very sad to hear that.
Here are some of the scripts I suspect of lags from my game and what I understood from MartinTilo, I also respond to @JxWolfe...

My game menu is made of "GameObject" which I disable and activate when the player clicks a button...

Example: The player clicks the Option button >>

GameObject_Option.Setactive (true) WindowsMenu = False "and" When the player clicks to close >>

GameObject_Option.Setactive (false) WindowsMenu = true etc... On my menu!


After in the game function. I use an Image List (Sprite) that calls for a "Random" Code... The player clicks "Play" and script is looking for a random image... Virtually the whole game uses these script explain above.


Look my image for example

Code (CSharp):

To give advice to other people in the same situation!
Check every step of your project with the profiler or directly on the tablet as long as you've created an item in the scene or in a script...

 

I don't understand everything... For the language change I did this method because I grouped a list of all the text in French and another list for the English text... See the picture...
The where it beug and lag hugely is when the game this launches at the start of the application ... I'm disgusted not to understand everything and that we do not find the solution ...

 

Thank you for the code MartinTilo you added the "return" function as I understand it?

Yes, the first scene loads this quickly. It's when I load my second scene that it lags... Even by removing the coroutine or the ADS script

 

It takes him almost 1 minute for the game to launch this start the game!

After the game to throw, it seems to work better when navigating ...

 

I totally deleted the first scene because it is useless. The second scene, ie the complete game lags always at the start!
Made in Unity and then 1 minute of charging and the game starts... No change, if not a small improvement with the navigation of the game, but it's just an impression for me... I haven't tried Unity 2019.3 yet with my game, although I don't think it'll be the solution!

 

I used startup of my game profiler, I test the game with the profiler autoconnect to my tablet.
For a minute nothing appears on the profiler because the game is charging. After a minute charging here is the screenshot of the profiler and the timeline ...

I am tired and disappointed to find no solution! one minute loading before display in the menu in my game !! I would like to publish my game and it annoys me not to be able to put it in playStore but my game lags a lot ! i don't can publish one game that lags ! and I would like to look how work ADS with in the "unity Dashboard" !

 

Thank you very much @MartinTilo !
I think we manage to find the problem. Here are the pictures ask.
That's what I thought. I should have done several scenes as I said at the beginning of the topic.
As you say my 1357 Textures is not mandatory to be loaded from the beginning of the scene!
I think that when Gameobject and sub parent its disabling, unity doesn't support them.
But apparently not! I'm going to have to do what I should have done from the beginning. Creates several scenes for each group of texture lots ask in the player selection...

I had already tried to reduce the weight of the images. I have put you in a picture of the weight of my textures (all textures make exactly the same weight)

 

I'm waiting for your answer and what you thought best to do for my game! Thank you again and also for documents !

 

I didn't understand what I had to do. What are you saying?

 

Thank you very much for your time spent using my project. I test the maximum textures 256x256 after if I continue it's slightly pixelated and it's not pretty. I just use this option. Unfortunately this didn't make a huge difference when loading.
I have win the10 second loading in my game. So I chose to go directly to recreate several scenes. I'll pass the results on to you right here! Whether he's better or not! I hope it works!
I'll correct my first mistake, but if it didn't solve the problem then I think it's far from making a game on Android with unity3D

 

Completely outraged about the unity software!


I've divided several game scenes to add my sprites as you advised me.
The game starts the first scene takes 15 seconds!

Then the loads of the scenes with the sprites take more than 30 seconds!
I am tired!!!!!!

To look for a solution with this software. A game that goes no further than 2GB! And Unity manages to lags. This software is not made to make Android games!
Completely disgusted!

I think the solution is to change software!

 

My game is only 190 MB!

Where the application puts more than 30 seconds, it is on the stage where I installed all the textures ...
That is, the 1325 images in 256x256!
So I'm going to have to delete this scene!
The option to play with all images will be removed.
I made several options in each scene, there are a number of images to guess, and in one scene, I grouped all the images of the scenes of the game in another scene where there are only the images. When I see that I had to rework, the game to put my textures in several scenes is that it always feels like in my first job! It annoys me a lot...


I don't know what to think anymore. I have a 3D project on a strategy game. I'm afraid to start this work on Unity. I wonder if I should not directly change programming software.


Do you have any suggestions to avoid this problem in my next applications which may be much heavier. Because I'm going to use 3D models! I'm afraid the problem itself, but worse. Since my current game only works with images... So imagine a 3D game for an app!?

Where do I directly change software?
Thank you in advance and thank you again for your help. You are the only one here since the publication of my ad that gives me advice and helps me not to freak out

 

I also forgot to ask you. What should I do about the links you sent me?

and

As well as now I have the camera that is more than 50% in my unity profiler... I find it all similarly frustrating!

 

Game development is a job. It requires hard work and dedication to solve all the issues that come with development. It doesn't matter what software or engine you use, it can be very tedious and frustrating to say the least. AAA companies employ 100's if not 1000's of people to make video games so it stands to reason that it takes lots to make a game. One person making a simple game can take months if not years to complete. Terraria, Minecraft, Stardew Valley didn't happen over night, it took years and several other people to do it and they are still being worked on even after being out for years.

My first game had extremely bad performance. I thought the same thing: "Man Unity isn't very good, what people said was true, the engine sucks!" After realizing I had no idea how to optimize, I did lots of reading and started using the profiler. I got most of the problems resolved, no more stuttering or hicups and game play was consistent. I learned quite a bit from that first project and as I do more I learn more. Learning to play an instrument takes time and practice and so does making video games.

As for your problem, I think @MartinTilo is doing a great job trying to help. I have no idea, I can only make assumptions. I will tell you to group your textures together into one bigger texture, like with SpriteAtlas. This helped with some of my performance issues I had on my first game. Each texture has some overhead to it, minimizing that overhead is going to decrease loading times. Performance during game play depends on the game and what it is doing, this is where the profiler will help a lot. Seeing how long a method took and how much memory it allocated during that call can show you where you need to optimize.

One last thing. What functionality is missing in the newer versions of Unity that stops you from upgrading?

 

Thank you for your response!

To meet @Chris-Trueman

I agree with what you say, a game does not happen overnight. To answer the question, it's been well over 10 years since I work with Unity 3D today, I discover features, but when I download the version 2019 (I know more exactly where?)! I thought, "God!" What does this thing know... I'm surprised there are no feedbacks on that. I didn't recognize Unity anymore... I felt like I was on another software... Full of errors on my old projects or asset ... The "UI" interface is nowhere to be found!? The interfaces completely change, a misunderstanding after several years of work to know the features and option. The last version I tried, I did not recognize anything, I had to do everything again!


That's why it's a shame to come up with a change in software. What I don't want, but between the state of operation and the updates. It's hard.

Thank you, @MartinTilo for your patience.

Yes, I have listed my Sprites on several stages. As you said, I just put a scene that brings all the images together. It's the one that takes the most time since there are 1325 images.

I will try to illustrate a diagram of the actions of my game with this image! Hopefully it will help. I have a hard time understanding what you advise me... To make me understand better, here's a diagram. My sprites are on several stages.

I think the 06 scene that brings together all the images will have to be removed. It is not necessarily useful, but it brings a compilation of all the images of the game ...

I made a misspelling it's Random script in each scene in the picture publish
What do you think?

I agree with you too! I also like to learn new things and overcome these obstacles and create the games I imagine. Hence the reason for my stubbornness to want to solve the problem here!

Thank you again!

 

Yeah the interface got a face lift. Everything is in the same place though, the icons and buttons look different nothing much else though. The "UI' or uGUI has been moved into a package, which I thought was installed by default which if you upgrade a project it might not. That's one of the problems when upgrading a project to a newer version of Unity, it tends to mess things up and you get tons or errors and warnings, that is why they started LTS versions that remain the same with only bug and stability fixes. The LTS versions are what they recommend to build games with until the next LTS, 5.x didn't have that

Bringing up my first project again, Google took it down because I mentioned another game in the description which is against guidelines. I went to remove the references to the other game and needed to submit a new APK for it to take effect. Well now they want it to be 64bit and the minimum api changed, which my game was niether. So I attempted to upgrade. I had purchased TextMesh Pro while working on the game to get nice text in the game which is now free(upset me some seeing as I paid for it.) When upgrading the version I was using was out dated and didn't work with the newer version of Unity. I had so many errors, in the end I gave up. The game was a test to see how the whole process worked so it wasn't as big of a deal to have it pulled. One day I will tackle all the errors and put it up again, maybe.

 

That's the reason, for my obstinacy on the old version of Unity!

It's as if your signature you've been doing for 15 years, you're changing it another way!
