Unity 5.1.1 UI doesn't show up in Webplayer

Unity Engine
1

I first noticed in 5.1.1p2 that the webplayer doesn’t have uGUI elements.
I then installed 5.1.1p4, to see if it would resolve. It didn’t.

I created an empty project to verify.

  • Create new project
  • Add canvas
  • Add button

then when I make a webplayer

… the button isn’t there.

Here’s a full build log

Can we please have a bug report so that QA can go and find out what version this regressed in.

I have the same problem with my login screen:

I saw that in the new version when I click on the main camera I can set a mark in the inspector to displaying UI elements but that didn’t fix the problem

I have sent a bug report yesterday.

I just checked to see if a new patch was available or something, and saw this:

Please be aware that you cannot build and release a Web Player game with a patch release, as the runtime will not be updated with patch versions.

Is it possible that it’s just because we are using a patch version that it acts strangely?

Sorry my english isn’t the best - To be honest I don’t understand the reason why I can’t build a webplayer game with a patch release…

Hello folks,

what joonturbo said is the core of this issue. That patch releases are not supporting the webplayer as stated in bold letters on the downloads page.
While they technically can build a webplayer we only publish the runtimes to the web for full releases. So you have to wait for the next full release after a patch and stick with the last full release until then.

Has this ever been fixed? I still cannot see the UI in webplayer
