    So here is my scenario. I load a scene with SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync, and mark some objects with DontDestroyOnLoad. Then, at some point in the game, I unload the current scene with SceneManager.UnloadScene.

    The scene AND all the objects marked DontDestroyOnLoad are destroyed. I would not expect this behaviour. Is it possibly a bug or is UnloadScene expected to destroy everything? If so, is there a way to unload a scene while keeping the DontDestroyOnLoad objects intact?

    Hi,

    From what you describe it sounds like a bug. Can you please file a bug report and attach a project that reproduces the issue.

    Hi

    We found and a fixed a bug. If you at runtime in a standalone player loaded a scene and marked some of the loaded objects with DontDestroyOnLoad, then unloading the scene would destroy these objects. The bug does not reproduce in the editor.

    Hi, I got the bug again today and it took me a while to remember this thread. It's true, when unloading a scene on a device (iPad in my case) Unload destroys everything.

    Is it known when this bugfix will be released?
