Unity Perforce: Connection is extremely slow or times out when "Scan Local Packages on Connect" is enabled in Version Control while the project has many local packages
More info on: https://unity.slack.com/archives/C0F3STJ5R/p1759030255083319
"The user suggested it would be very helpful to have a log entry or a message appear in the editor when a timeout occurs, suggesting that the user try disabling the package scan. Since this is a per-project, per-user setting, a hint like this could save a lot of troubleshooting time."
How to reproduce:
1. Extract and open the attached "P4LocalPackage.zip" project
2. Navigate to the Version Control (Edit > Project Settings > Version Control)
3. Enable and configure settings to match for Perforce workspace
4. Press “Connect”
5. Observe the result
Expected result: The project does not take a long time to connect to VCS
Actual result: The project takes long times connecting to VCS (15-20 minutes)
Reproducible with: 2023.1.0a1, 6000.0.63f1, 6000.2.14f1, 6000.3.0f1 (820bc0c5f094), 6000.4.0a5, 6000.5.0a2
Reproduced on: Windows 11 (24H2)
Not reproduced on: No other environments tested
Notes:
- Sometimes the Unity Perforce integration does not connect and outputs: “Version Control: UpdateSettings: Timeout reading from external process”
- Projects take a very long time opening (while testing all supported streams, I noticed that each time re-opening the project took 15-20 minutes each)
- The VCS integration has enabled the "Scan Local Package On Connect" option in Version Control Settings, and projects with several local packages have a lot of files to be scanning, debugging this scenario is difficult and would be great to have a message in the logging that suggest that the "Scan Local Package On Connect" is enabled, and the project could take large time opening.
