From the main menu scene, pressing play to take you to the game happens instantly. However to go from the game back to the main menu scene, takes around 3 to 4 seconds from the moment the user presses the exit button. Is there any reason for this? The main menu screen just has 3 SKSpriteNodes, so nothing overly complex.

Is this something I would need to use background threading in order to fix?

I am presenting the scene like so:

        //Pressed exit button
        if CGRectContainsPoint(exitButton.frame, location) 

            //Present main menu scene
            let skView = self.view! as SKView
            var scene: TitleScene!
            scene = TitleScene(size: skView.bounds.size)
            skView.presentScene(scene)
        }

Profile your app in instruments to see which is the time consuming task... Are you preloading assets or something in your titleScene? – gabuh Jan 14 '15 at 16:33

Are you doing your texture/assets loading in the `init` or `didMovetoView` functions in `TitleScene`? – rakeshbs Jan 14 '15 at 16:35
Thanks for the response. I am loading everything in `didMoveToView` – Reece Kenney Jan 14 '15 at 16:47

ok. so that's the problem. – rakeshbs Jan 14 '15 at 17:24
Thank you! So should I be loading them in init then? I wonder why the init method is not given by default when the file is created. – Reece Kenney Jan 14 '15 at 17:40
nope, not init, same problem. add a loading scene on startup just before main scene – CodeSmile Jan 14 '15 at 21:37
