Game doesn't start in web player; No errors; Works fine in Unity player; FF; OS X

Does that game run for anyone else? Some stick figures should pop out of the holes (textured GameObjects) and there should be hearts at the bottom of the screen and a score at the top (both using OnGUI). If you just see three ellipses, then it isn’t working.

When I run in Unity, it starts up fine. In this web version, the scene never starts, and I get no errors. Maybe there are errors somewhere I just don’t see?

The kicker is that if I reload the page a few times, Firefox crashes.

Any ideas?

(FF 3.6.13, OS X 10.6.6, Unity 3.2, reinstalled Unity web player today twice)

(I’ve searched this forum and answers and elsewhere first, but this is a tough one to find keywords that narrow the search results.)

You may get some more information if you check the webplayer log file (see this manual page to find out how to do that).

Thanks!
Here’s my web player log file:

But I don’t know where that leads (it’s not clear if it’s an error or not, but “shutting down” doesn’t seem good).

I’m searching for more info now…

I’ve seen posts about similar log entries being a bug with the player or engine. Just in case it helps, here is what I get when I go to Unity Real-Time Development Platform | 3D, 2D, VR & AR Engine

Unity Plugin version: 3.2.0f4
Unity Engine version: 2.6.1f3

Thanks for confirming. That does help me, since I still thought it could just be my machine. The scene’s not starting for you either.

Solved.

I was trying to use the filesystem to load text assets, and that is not allowed in the web player (makes sense). I guess if I submit a bug, it will just be about lack of an informative error message.

Hello junglemason,

Now that you have solved the problem, can you confirm if this still occurs with a new build of your WebPlayer?

“The kicker is that if I reload the page a few times, Firefox crashes.”

If this does please do submit a bug report with your project and DM me the case number.

Thank you,
Chris

I’ve reloaded my new working version four times, and it didn’t crash Firefox.
