Title: GUI buttons - Performance hit
Post by: Tonda on March 20, 2016, 12:36:09 PM

I have an FSM i'm using for UI and im using 46 GUI Button actions in a state as well as 2 draw textures.

Problem : When entering the state, my fps drops from 35-40 to 15. Why is this happening?

EDIT: Perhaps there is a way to pre-cache textures? I'm not sure what the problem is. Actually i don't know how that would help, as pullling up this Ui MENU slows down the game every single time, just not the first call.

Hoping someone has some insight, as I'm sure i just don't understand a fundamental of unity that is causing this...

Hi,

46 gui buttons?! that's a lot indeed. I would recommand using the new UI system from unity and move away from the legacy which never was really performant anyway.

so in short I would simply rebuild your UI to use the modern version which will perform a lot better.

Bye,

Ok thanks for the suggestion Jean.
Are there any playmaker actions / support for this new ui system?

Hi,
yes there are. you can get them on the EcoSystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181)
Search for ugui and get the "U Gui Proxy Full" Package.
