Not possible for us to change, engine team has to fix it. ---

OK,thanks, does the defold-editor-macosx get more maintenance than the defold-editor-win32 ? ---

When you open the exe the window flashes a solid white color on Windows and stays white until the game begins to render normally.

And what if you have a very thin loader collection that launches the rest of the game from a collection proxy? Or is it starting the engine that is slow? ---

Behavior happens with both a blank project and a very small project like you describe. The white screen lag is larger depending on the size of the initial assets to load. ---

> [@Pkeod](#): > > The white screen lag is larger depending on the size of the initial assets to load. Ok, I guess that’s because of the increase in time to access the bundles assets of large project. ---
