Following the Guides given at
and
I built a demo Facebook Instant Game using unity 5.5.2 however whenever I test the game on facebook (both from android messenger and web) the loading is stuck at 0%. The scene however always loads completely behind the loading screen as shown in the image attached.
Do i need to call some function from the facebook unity plugin or am i missing something else on the facebook app settings page?? NoLoading.png
I’m also having this problem…
But what I think is going on is: There might not be a place to tell Facebook instant game the percentage loaded, if that makes sense.
First step in this doc: Quick Start - Facebook Games - Documentation - Meta for Developers
Same here! I menage to publish Facebook Web Game and on Gameroom ,but could not on Instant games.
Which in strange since both Facebook web games and Instant games are webgl builds.
I managed to solve all the issues and recently released a course on Udemy on how to port your Unity game to Facebook Instant without using external tools like Export2Canvas, and also how to interact with the Facebook instant library from a unity game.
https://www.udemy.com/creating-facebook-instant-games-using-unity/
Also I am working on a plugin to automate the whole process (leaderboards and facebook ads included), which i hope to release this week.
first five can get the course for free using the coupon code INSTANT4UNITY just make sure to leave a review
Well, all is explain in the doc but I admit it’s not very clear if you are not familiar to HTML5. Maybe a bit late but for those who will face same issue :
Build your game for WebGl.
Edit index.html to add FBInstant support and call the inialize function as in the documentation /!\ Remplace the “WebGl.json” by your script name. This resolve the SDK error you should have seen ( don’t know how you pass it )

});
Tell Facebook Your game is loaded. Add the StartAsync
function UnityProgress(gameInstance, progress) {
if (!gameInstance.Module)
return;
if (!gameInstance.logo) {
gameInstance.logo = document.createElement("div");
gameInstance.logo.className = "logo " + gameInstance.Module.splashScreenStyle;
gameInstance.container.appendChild(gameInstance.logo);
}
if (!gameInstance.progress) {
gameInstance.progress = document.createElement("div");
gameInstance.progress.className = "progress " + gameInstance.Module.splashScreenStyle;
gameInstance.progress.empty = document.createElement("div");
gameInstance.progress.empty.className = "empty";
gameInstance.progress.appendChild(gameInstance.progress.empty);
gameInstance.progress.full = document.createElement("div");
gameInstance.progress.full.className = "full";
gameInstance.progress.appendChild(gameInstance.progress.full);
gameInstance.container.appendChild(gameInstance.progress);
}
gameInstance.progress.full.style.width = (100 * progress) + "%";
gameInstance.progress.empty.style.width = (100 * (1 - progress)) + "%";
FBInstant.setLoadingProgress(100*progress);
if (progress == 1)
{
FBInstant.startGameAsync().then(function(){
console.log("Game Started");
});
gameInstance.logo.style.display = gameInstance.progress.style.display = "none";
}
}
Well done !
You need to be using the Instant Games API. For example:
FBInstant.intializeAsync().then(() => {
// load your game
return FBInstant.startGameAsync();
}).then(() => {
// your game logic
});
You can’t use this API directly from C# as it’s a JavaScript API. To use JavaScript from Unity see this tutorial
,I’ve been following along with the Defold platformer tutorial, so I thought I’d try to get it to run as a Facebook Instant Game. I added the dependancy to the GitHub master zip, configured the app on Facebook Dashboard, and copy-pasted my App ID into the facebook section of game.project. Then I bundled the project as an HTML5 game, and added the reference to the Facebook Instant Games script in the resulting index.html. However, when I upload the game to Facebook and try to run it on my phone through Facebook Messenger, the loading gets stuck around 80-90%. Has anyone else encountered this?
I followed the standard platform tutorial so I thought I’d try running it as a Facebook instant game. I added a dependency to the main GitHub zip, configured the app in the Facebook dashboard, and copied and pasted my App ID into the Facebook section of game.project. I then grouped the project as an HTML5 game and added a reference to the Facebook Instant Games script in the resulting index.html. However, when I load the game on Facebook and try to play it on my phone via Facebook Messenger, the loading stops at around 80-90%. Has anyone else found it? dgcustomerfirst
