Bug added, #50926

 

For those of you interested in technical details, that 2 second pause is Unity loading a "built-in" shader when you first click on the edit field. It turns out that these "built-in" assets are the cause of a lot our load time woes. We've made some strides to remove these assets from our game for R46, but a lot still remain. This bug won't be addressed for R46, but I did make a workaround. All asset preloading will wait until the "Connect" button is pressed. Please re-post if you see any side effects of this change.

 

...the r46 release instructions say all the built-in shaders were removed...

 

Unfortunately not true. The release instructions have been edited to reflect that.
