Unity Async Await - Make Your Game Run Smoother!

In this tutorial want to explain the Async Await Unity workflow so that you can run code on a separate thread to make your game run faster. I will also show you how to stop a task using a Cancellation Token as it is a bit more work than running code synchronously using a coroutine.

This is honestly a really good tutorial about something that not many people cover. Thanks a lot!

[vima]

THANKS THANKS THANKS! Superclear and esaustive explanation of an a bit complex argument in an easy way! All teacher should explain like you! Thanks again!

[PROeloGangsta]

Amazing tutorial! Can't wait for parallel topic. Thanks!

[mementomori]

I've found you by accident while I was reading a post on reddit, I'm glad because I was just looking for some tutorials about exactly this. And you're video about lambda expression is really good too, I finally understand it better.
Subscribed, I'll check more of your videos and I'm waiting for the next one

[Focto]

Damn, you have such a good visualization, it's ease me too understanding it 👌

[bsdrago]

This video is very good, BUT, deserves an Update with Awaitable class =)

[cryptoversegirl]

Two years old video. Still its very useful and i have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to see many interesting topics!

[devgame]

Very simple and clear explanation, thanks!

[lubba]

this literally saved my game thanks so much

[melodysprout]

This is very well explained, thank you.

[Eculeus]

Wow thank you! I think Async can be a great performance booster on many parts. I´m happy to found your channel.

[ss]

Thank you once again, neat introduction! These shorter videos are nice, it is hard to invest hours of time into long series... even if topics covered in those series were interesting.

[vitvohralik]

Thanks a lot man! That is exactly what I was looking for.

so far the best entry tutorial about Task in Unity

[shavais]

Wow! It looks like Unity's C# now supports the full range of C# 8 functionality! That's a *monumental* improvement over the way it was the last time I used Unity! Way To Go Unity!

By the way, I'm very sure the poster absolutely does not mean to suggest that sweeping incredibly inefficient code under the rug by sticking it in background threads is a great and wonderful approach to resolving performance issues. Please handle async with care! It's very easy to end up loading down all the cores and make your poor user's entire system bog down to a crawl. Operating systems should probably restrict any single app from completely loading down all the cores, but by and large they don't. I'm sure this was just a rough sample to demonstrate async, but please do be aware that the machine still does actually have to run your code, and most of the time you find yourself using a nested loop like that there is probably a much more efficient way to do what you're doing.

Awesome Would love to know more on how Task works with out async

[RRaiho]

Holy Moly, instantly subbed to this gem channel, though which video are you referring to at the end? or isn't it out yet?

[quadriproduction]

perfect tutorial..probably best explain how to use threads correctly!Thank you.Can you put the gist for this type of tutorials..would be awsome

[fbot]

Does this help remove lag when instantiating large objects?

Amazing tutorial btw!

This works well, but I am still stuck in my project. I can't call any unity functions without getting an error saying "[function] can only be called from the main thread". However, I need to run Unity methods asynchronously. I need to render a render texture and save it as a sprite. How can I do this without killing performance?
