Question by whackamuffin · Oct 24, 2015 at 06:27 PM · resourcescrashingbugs

Not sure why Unity is crashing and using all of systems resources?

Hi guys,

Please excuse the vagueness of the question... But whenever I start unity 5, it seems to be using all of my system resources.

This is what it looks like on my task bar so I assume it's trying to load something?

alt text

And then when I close the editor, it crashes. Is there a way to debug this to try and figure out what's going on?

Cheers guys.

That could possibly be the GI baking or it could be the loading of the project.

Does the project open up so you can see the Scene/Game view and so on?

That would probably be the GI baking using too many resources as it is trying to bake the lighting. Try to find a way to externally disable and see if that works.

it may be a problem with the project. Hold ALT (from what i recall) when you start loading unity and it will not attempt to load the project and wlll take you to the project manager screen.

i hope this helps. as for debugging, try removing the last asset you imported before it happened. it usually helps with me
