Told to install Web Player when testing in browser. Web Player already installed.

Unity Engine

I have a problem that has become very infuriating.

Previously Unity Web Player worked fine on this computer. However, shortly after installing the Unity development software, it stopped working.

While trying to play any Unity game in a browser, it will just pop up with a message saying that it’s not installed, and link me to the download page. It says it’s still installed when I go to the browser’s add-on screen.

This happens in both IE and FireFox. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the player and the dev kit multiple times, without any change. One odd thing I noticed was that after uninstalling the web player AND the dev software, the web player still showed up in the Firefox Add-on menu.

I had a laptop which I could run the web player on, but again, shortly after installing the Unity dev kit on it, the web player stopped working. This means I can’t test my own games in a browser.

Any help would be much appreciated because I’m going to have to drop Unity if I can’t fix this.

This happens all the time to me too.

All the time? Does this mean you have a solution that at least works temporarily?

Not being able to test my own games is making Unity pretty useless, sadly. I love using it, but this is a huge problem.

Is there seriously no solution to this problem?

Change this line in your html-source:

<scripttype="text/javascript"src="UnityObject.js"></script>

Into:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://webplayer.unity3d.com/download_webplayer-3.x/3.0/uo/UnityObject.js"></script>

Or rather change it to “http://webplayer.unity3d.com/download_webplayer-3.x/3.0/uo/UnityObject2.js” which is the latest version. The same would happen if you don’t tick “offline build” in the build settings.

Which OS/Browser version do you have and which webplayer channel do you have selected?

Thank you both for your replies!

I have tried replacing the lines as suggested in mentioned Questions post, but I actually don’t have the line that is specified to replace! Even when replacing what I DO have with what people tell me to paste, it still doesn’t work.

Additionally, this wouldn’t solve the problem of not being able to play other people’s works. While I mainly just want mine to work for testing purposes, ideally I’d be able to play other people’s work too. At the moment, absolutely nothing loads.

I’m running Windows 7 with FireFox 31.0. Trying to play anything in IE gives me the same result.

As for the channel I have selected, as far as I know the only way to check is to right-click a Unity work (correct me if I’m wrong). However, since nothing in Unity actually loads, I can’t do this.
