Description

Lets you control how long it takes to load data asynchronously vs. performance impact on the game while loading in the background.

	// Load as much data as possible, as a result frame rate will drop.
	// Good for fast loading when showing progress bars.
	Application.backgroundLoadingPriority = ThreadPriority.High;

// Load data very slowly and try not to affect performance of the game. // Good for loading in the background while the game is playing. Application.backgroundLoadingPriority = ThreadPriority.Low;
