Hello,

I have a problem with cooking / packing.

I have imported some samples (models, textures, etc) and created a level with ui (one graphic, 3 buttons)

For testing i wanted to create (pack) the project

The process is now running something like 9 hours.

The process is currently still running.

In the current / only scene only 2 images and 3 buttons are used.

Are all assets available in the project still provided / exported?
And will this also compile the shaders of unused assets?

Hi there,

How did you set your packaging settings?

I noticed when I have the NVIDIA’s MDL plugin installed, its also slows down the cooking time.

Have you followed any instructions regarding the proper settings? Your packaging time is unusual. Let me see if I can find any guidance.
