Question Why doesn't this Addressables.release() work?

I get the error

Addressables.Release was called on an object that Addressables was not previously aware of.  Thus nothing is being released

What's wrong with this code. It gets loaded on start, so why can't I release it when it gets destroyed?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. GameObject UltimateParticle;
3. public AssetReference UltimateRef;
4.  
5. public void Start() {
6.       LoadParticle();
7. }
8.  
9. public void LoadParticle() {
10.     UltimateRef.LoadAssetAsync<GameObject>().Completed += OnUltLoaded => {
11.                 UltimateParticle = OnUltLoaded.Result;
12.                 print("particle loaded");
13.     };
14. }
15.  
16. private void OnDestroy() {
17.      Addressables.Release(UltimateRef);
18. }
19.  

 

Bump

 

"In all cases, however, the release method can either take the loaded asset, or an operation handle returned by the load"

I found the loaded asset route did not work for whatever reason. Note: i am not using AssetReferences.
I store the AsyncOp handle and use that to release. Verified it via the Addressables Event analyzer.

Also check on diff version of Addressables, 1.13 seems the most stable but there are bugs, i could use it with 1.15 ok but there are other issues with that version

hth

 

Use UltimateRef.ReleaseAsset instead

 

K so in my scenario it's the instantiated object you have to release not the addressable.

So it becomes

Code (CSharp):

1. private void OnDestroy() {
2.      Addressables.ReleaseInstance(UltimateParticle);
3. }

 

works great thanks guys!!
