In Oct 2025, the Redot Engine team delivered a targeted stability improvement in the resource loading pipeline, focusing on CACHE_MODE_IGNORE scenarios. The fix ensures that load_threaded_get no longer returns null resources when CACHE_MODE_IGNORE is active, reducing runtime resource-loading errors and contributing to smoother gameplay and asset streaming. The change includes robust handling of load tokens and thread load tasks to prevent related edge cases, improving reliability and performance of the engine's resource loading system. The work was implemented via a focused commit (c1bcd5f191b08a8292137efebcd4054f1eb84480) that cherry-picked from a previous change to ensure correctness across release branches.
