Why Are My Project Assets Constantly Re-Importing?
I have a large project that is constantly re-importing its assets. I'm not sure of the exact cause but it seems to be at least loosely related to loading levels additively. However, the re-importing can occur at any time. For example I may load a level with the game running and the imports progress bar will pop up. But I could be in the editor, without the game running and click on a scrollbar or other innocuous UI and the assets will re-import again. This takes several minutes each time and happens at seemingly random intervals but can occur up to several times an hour which is quite annoying. I'm wondering if there is a bug in the way the assets are cached or the interaction with the cache when using additive scenes. I had seen the exact same thing happen in a completely unrelated project after using additive loading. I want to stress that this doesn't appear to be a coding isue. It happens even when the game is not running in the editor. I don't believe its ever happened in a built version of the game.
Has anyone else experienced this and know a way around it? For now I've disabled autorefresh on the project but this is not a great solution as I have to remember to manually refresh the project all the time.
UPDATE
Does anyone know if Unity 3.0 resolves this issue? We are just going through the upgrade process and my colleague has not experience the re-import issue since upgrading. Is this officially resolved in this release?
$$anonymous$$e too. I can update, restart unity and play the game in the editor for 10 $$anonymous$$utes and the moment I focus on another application like the editor Unity goes to lunch and imports the assets again (none of which have changed). This smells like a bug to me.
In version 3.5, Unity is doing this again! Unity 3.5 endlessly importing assets
Since this is still a top search result in Google... for the benefit of others... I was experiencing a similar issue, and the culprit was the 2Dtoolkit plugin. So to resolve the issue of Unity hanging on startup with "Hold On: Importing Small Assets", I simply opened a blank new project in Unity, then went to the 2Dtoolkit menu -> Preferences, and unchecked Auto Rebuild! Then I opened up my project and Unity started up successfully!
There's a thread here about this problem and so far there is not really any answer that works and stays working.
The only thing I've found that -somewhat- works is enabling "External Version Control" and turning off "autorefresh". Then I just hit CTRL+R to load scripts. It seems to make the problem happen a little less often, but it doesn't solve it completely.
While not an answer in the form of a solution, you've pointed me to a good source of info on this bug. Hopefully it gets taken care of soon. Thanks!
I hope it helps a bit. This problem is incredibly frustrating. I hope it's solved in Unity 3.
