Danger of
LoadSynchronousExample of why
LoadSynchronousis very bad and shouldn’t be used in shipped builds (Thanks to Northstar)Northstar
“Let’s say you’re loading a map async. It’s a big map and it’s taking a while. Then you call LoadSynchronous on a DA or something. Map load gets cancelled, DA blocks game thread to load, Map starts loading all over again but blocking the game thread”
In other words: “LoadSync halts all requests in the queue. They can’t resume async so SM handles this by sync loading them”
