Space Shooter Tutorial crashes when trying to play in browser.

Unity Engine

I just finished the Space Shooter Tutorial and upon trying to play it in my browser (Chrome) it crashes upon finishing loading (and playing the background music for half a second) with “The content was stopped because a fatal content error has been detected.”

I’m just starting out and this is very confusing to me as I have no idea how to fix this or what could be causing the error. I have a feeling I’m going to run into this again down the line and I want to know how to fix it.

Fiddling with the build settings didn’t seem to do anything.

Here’s a link to my project files: Dropbox

I have been holding off on updating Windows 8 on my 4 year old laptop since last time I did that the graphics driver broke and in fact right now I’m probably not using the exact correct driver because HP doesn’t support my laptop for Windows 8.
The Roll A Ball example worked fine in my browser for me.

Hi Chris,

It probably has to do something with the UI text. Did you use the GUIText that the tutorial used or did you change that to UI.Text like I did? When using the UI.Text object the game will crash. I tested this by removing the UI.Text elements completely from the game and it seemed to work.

After some research it seemed I had to include the UI shaders to the game itself. You can go to Edit->Projects Settings->Graphics to open the Graphics Settings in the inspector. Here you can supply additional Shaders. Increase size to 3 and click the button next to the new elements. Now select UI/Default and UI/Default Font.

Now it should work.
