Why does a single level take longer to load

Hi,

I’m confused and can’t explain it:

  • Why does a single level (single scene) that I want to test take longer to load
  • than the entire game via autoload right at the beginning?

I’ve noticed that when I load all levels (via Autoload) right at the start of the game on the title screen, it takes much less time than when I briefly test the current game scene.

I have also noticed that when a YouTube video is playing and I test the single scene, the video stutters (audio does not). When the scene is loaded it works again.

However, if I start the entire game with the title screen (all levels are cached in the background via Autoload), it only takes a few seconds and YouTube also runs smoothly.

I can’t explain it.

Actually, if you cache all level scenes in the background thread, it should take forever.

Does anyone have an explanation?
