Mobile Game-Create Object Performance Issue?

[johannastephen]

Hi. I develop a mobile game with Unity and Playmaker. I run it in Unity Editor and no problem is here. But i build it for Android. I tested it with Android emulator and Galaxy S3 Mini. The game is very slow. I check Unity Profiler. Draw calls are high. Game creates 4-5 objects and 3-4 seconds later, it destroys them. And again creates. Reason of the problem Create object action and destroy object action? Or sprite sizes are big? Sprites are single and they are approx. 472x512 px. Thanks for your helping.

Most likely caused by the create and destroy actions.  I had this problem when I first started learning Unity, you will need to look into object pools and spawning/despawning objects that are created at load time instead of creating/destroying while the game is running.

Not sure what 3rd party object pool manager is the best out there now, but a few years ago when I needed it it was poolManager and I still use it...

Hi. Thank you for your answer. When i play game, the FPS is 10-20 although idle. (when not creating or destroying)  ?

I tried it after your suggestion. But in emulator, it is still approx 30-40 FPS. Perhaps iTween animations cause this? I dont know.

hi,
itween is indeed bad, use DOTween instead

are you using 2d or 3d?

Hi. I am using 2d. And using very basic up-down, scale size animations. Example iTween Move From, iTween Scale To, iTween Scale From bla bla...

I dont understand this low FPS. In my game everything is basic.

Hi,

 can you expand within the PlayMaker fsm Update tree node, it's seems to be where you get really dragged, so you need to find out which action it slowing down the fps. And it's likely within this tree node you'll find some hints.

 Bye,
