Root Cause

Physics engine overwhelmed by overlapping colliders.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Use layers and collision matrix to limit collision checks
  2. 88% success Reduce collider complexity: use primitive colliders where possible

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Increase physics buffer to maximum 72% fail

    Memory waste

  2. Disable collision detection 82% fail

    Objects pass through each other
