Upgrading to version 5.0.0 of Adaptive Performance

This page describes how to upgrade from an older version of Adaptive Performance to version 5.0.0.

Upgrading from Adaptive Performance 4.x, 3.x, 2.2.x

If you upgraded from any of the above versions and use a custom provider, you must upgrade the provider because this package has removed com.unity.subsystemregistry as a dependency.

XRSubsystem

The XRSubsystem is deprecated and Adaptive Performance has removed it as a dependency. If you use a custom provider that used XRSubsystem, you should use SubsystemWithProvider instead. This is the new Subsystem base class in Unity core and it requires an implementation of SubsystemDescriptorWithProvider and SubsystemProvider.

• Implementing a subsystem using deprecated APIs:

public class TestSubsystemDescriptor : SubsystemDescriptor<TestSubsystem>
{ }

public class TestSubsystem : XRSubsystem<TestSubsystemDescriptor>
{
    protected override void OnStart() { }

    protected override void OnStop() { }

    protected override void OnDestroyed() { }
}

• Implementing a subsystem using the new APIs:

public class TestSubsystemDescriptor : SubsystemDescriptorWithProvider<TestSubsystem, TestSubsystemProvider>
{ }

public class TestSubsystem : SubsystemWithProvider<TestSubsystem, TestSubsystemDescriptor, TestSubsystemProvider>
{ }

public class TestSubsystemProvider : SubsystemProvider<TestSubsystem>
{
    public override void Start() { }

    public override void Stop() { }

    public override void Destroy() { }
}

Lifecycle Management Controls

With Adaptive Performance 5.0.0, APIs are available to allow for more control over the state and lifecycle of Adaptive Performance.

In earlier versions, you could start/stop Adaptive Performance via the Loader or via the active state of the attached GameObject. The APIs make this process simpler and ensure that the appropriate internal values are in the correct state. Additionally, the APIs make it possible to shut down and re-initialize Adaptive Performance, which was previously impossible.

If Adaptive Performance isn't initialized on startup, or if you previously deinitialized it, you can call Holder.Initialize(); to trigger the initialization process. This initializes Adaptive Performance but does not start it. To start Adaptive Performance, call Holder.Instance.StartAdaptivePerformance();. To stop Adaptive Performance, call Holder.Instance.StopAdaptivePerformance();. To trigger the deinitialization process, call Holder.Deinitialize();.

The details are demonstrated in the Lifecycle Management sample.

Upgrading from Adaptive Performance 2.x.x

If you upgrade from any version before 2.2.0, read the 2.2.0 upgrade guide because the same updates apply.
