Treat ‘no ad available’ as a normal outcome, not a failure: resume the game loop immediately when the SDK reports an empty result, keep your pause\/resume logic independent of the ad call. When no ad is returned, the game should continue immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rule that prevents freezes: never let the game loop wait on an ad call with no exit path. Pause your game state (timers, physics, input) right before requesting an ad, then resume it in the callback the SDK gives you for both ‘ad shown’ and ‘ad not available’ – not just on success. If the ad request comes back empty, resume immediately and continue the game as if no ad was requested.<\/p>\n

Where does this code go in Unity or Godot?<\/h2>\n
