    Hi everyone, I've a problem with loading the first scene in Unity. The Unity splash screen stays for about one second then the game show a white screen until the first scene is loaded. This is quite annoying because my scene takes 6-7 seconds to load. The documentation says that the splash screen stays while the game loads the first scene async but this doesn't seem to happen for me. Indeed I tried to show the splash screen for up to 40 seconds but nothing changed, it needs anyway 7-8 seconds to load after the splash screen. I've encountered this problem both in Unity 2017.1 and Unity 5.6.2 and on Android (I haven't tried it on iOS yet), but I've never had this problem with my previous problem. How can I fix that?

    I'm not sure how to fix your issue, but I know a way that should get around it.

    Create a new scene that just has an image that you can treat as a further splash screen. Have that as your opening scene. Add a script that loads what was your first screen after 0.1 seconds. This way you should have a screen that loads fast. During the time taken to load your next scene, the new scene will be shown.

    Thank you, it works! I would have a further question, I've tried to load the scene with "LoadSceneAsync" to able to show an animation without the freezing that occurs while loading the next scene but it doesn't work, the animation freezes anyway. I have Unity personal maybe I need Unity pro? In the documentation there's no mention about that. Anyway the splash screen problem is very strange, I'm searching for a few days but I haven't found nothing to fix it.

    There is no difference between Personal and Pro regarding such things. It won't make a difference.

    I haven't used LoadSceneAsync. My guess is the freeze is caused by a long frame when the app is busy doing all the stuff you do when starting the new scene, but it is only a guess.

    Id also like to know if there's an updated solution to post-splash screen loading times.

    The splash does load in the background but it can only load to a certain point, it can't activate the scene. When the splash has finished it needs to
    Integrate the loaded scene Into the main thread and it's this that causes the pause. It's different for each platform, some are more noticeable.These parts can't be run until the splash has finished or the game would be running under the splash, which would be a different set of problems, it also causes some graphical glitches.
    Feel free to file a bug report, the last time we looked into it was 2017 so maybe it's worth another shot now.
