# Performance issues

We noticed that our game had occasional FPS freezes and spikes (especially on Steam Deck).

What I did to amend that:

Firstly, profiled a prod build with Unity Profiler to find whether the game was CPU or GPU bound. Mostly, it was due to the CPU.
So, the texture size optimisations helped with that a bit (I guess because of fewer draw calls due to sprite atlas usage).
Most of the spikes were due to DoTween (and its incorrect usage). There were a ton of garbage allocations. I replaced it with PrimeTween (it’s promoted as alloc-free), and it helped. PrimeTween is actually amazing, and I liked it way better than DoTween. The transition from DoTween to PrimeTween was a breeze, and PrimeTween’s automatic warning logs are just on another level — they helped so much to locate some major issues in the code and fix them. For example, the animal pupils were done with tweens in `Update` just to make them move smoothly (well, now I know...). I rewrote that with simply `Mathf.Lerp`, and that helped a ton.
Also, there were a lot of transitions in the game that were done with async tasks and/or coroutines. I found that they do allocations, and discovered that there’s a UniTask library that is alloc-free. So I refactored the code to use only UniTask and not Unity/C# Tasks or coroutines. For example, one such critical place was the music playlist in the game. The switching of tracks was done as noodle code with coroutines (partly by me, partly by GPT). It was very easy to refactor it with UniTask, and the overall transition to UniTask was also very easy and done in a couple of hours.

Kudos

Huge thanks to the creators of PrimeTween and UniTask. Honestly, switching to both of these made a huge difference in performance and code clarity. Highly recommend!

That’s pretty much it. We’re still learning Unity and figuring things out as we go, but this round of optimisations really helped.

I’d gladly answer any questions — and if you have advice, I’m all ears!

glitchy shader graph UI on Android device

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a game for android, however I've noticed a really weird glitch that appears on my UI, when i build it to my device (This only happens when i build to android, it is fine in editor and when I build to windows). The UI uses a simple shader graph material to combine a base image and a "dirt" image. I am still new to shaders and don't really know what the cause of this is or how to even go about diagnosing this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
