Understanding and using StreamingEnabled

When your game starts growing in map size, we face a problem. Your game might start lagging, the loading times for players might take way longer, and lower-end devices might even crash. Of course, we want as many players in our game as possible. But no one will play a game that keeps crashing, takes too long to load, or just lags overall. All three of these problems can be fixed by using something called StreamingEnabled.

So, what is StreamingEnabled exactly? And how does it ensure our players have less lag? Typically, when you join a game, the entire map gets loaded. However, with StreamingEnabled, that is not the case. As a matter of fact, even after you have been playing for a while, there is still a chance that some part of the map will not have been loaded. This is because StreamingEnabled only loads a section of the map near you. In this scenario, the parts of the map that you are not interacting with are just simply not there.
