Reloading Sprite Atlases from Asset Bundles
I'm having trouble reloading Sprite Atlases from Asset Bundles after they have already been loaded once.
I have a pretty heavy 2D game, with a lot of large sprites, so I would like to load them in and out of memory as you progress through different parts of the game. I'm trying to use Asset Bundles containing Sprite Atlases to achieve this, but I have a problem when I want to reload a Sprite Atlas that I had loaded previously.
Steps to reproduce my problem:
Subscribe to
SpriteAtlasManager.atlasRequestedfor late binding of Sprite Atlases
When
atlasRequestedis called, load the requested a Sprite Atlas from an Asset Bundle. This works fine.
Now unload the Asset Bundle that was just loaded. The Sprite Atlas is unloaded with is and sprites disappear from the scene in Unity.
Now, how do I reload and rebind the Sprite Atlas? Can I somehow force the
SpriteAtlasManagerto callatlasRequestedagain?
Does this make sense? Is it the right strategy to solving my problem? Any thoughts?
EDIT: I have had a look at this, which I think is doing what I want to do, but it seems like a pretty convoluted way to achieve something like this: https://github.com/jconstable/SpriteSleeper
You can check out this thread. Seems like we're having the same issue.

@stalhandske are you get solution?
No, unfortunately nothing yet. I'd love to know if you find anything. At the moment I'm just loading the atlases and never unloading them.
