The BIG MISCONCEPTION About Fixed Update
Are you using FixedUpdate correctly? In this video, we break down Update vs FixedUpdate vs LateUpdate and show you when to use each one.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to handle physics properly in Unity
✅ Where to put input handling (and why it matters)
✅ What to do when physics and input are linked
✅ When to multiply by deltaTime or fixedDeltaTime
✅ Can you sometimes use physics inside Update? (Yes, but carefully!)
By the end, you’ll know exactly how to structure your Unity scripts for smooth gameplay and optimized performance. Let’s fix your code! 🚀
