Unity Web Player Refuses to Update

Unity Engine
1

I tried downloading the Web Player from the regular download site but when I clicked the “download” button it just redirected me to this link: “http://webplayer.unity3d.com/download_webplayer-3.x/webplayer-mini.dmg” but nothing happend and the page was filled with weird and unnecessary symbols stretching down a few pages.

Since I couldn’t download it from the official download site I tried downloading it from softonic and it seemed to work (the .dmg file was the same as it should have been and all) but upon completing the installation process I quitted Firefox, restarted my computer but it still hasn’t updated Unity.

So what do I do?

Did you try from here: Unity Real-Time Development Platform | 3D, 2D, VR & AR Engine ?

Yes I tried downloading it from there. But as I said before nothing happend and I was redirected to a page full of random symbols.

Seems to be an issue with your browser. Use the latest Chrome or Firefox.

Your browser seems to be showing you the contents of the DMG instead of downloading it to your hard drive. DMG files are installer packages. Once the DMG is on your hard drive, you can double click it to start the install process.

I checked the Firefox website but it specifically said I have the latest version.

I’m kinda confused here. Are you saying that upon opening the .dmg file it just shows me the contents of it and not starting the install process? If so then it DID work and start the install process like every other .dmg file I’ve ever used. But nothing seems to happen upon ending the installation process. I tried restarting my computer after the installation but it just wouldn’t update.

Me too. Your original post suggested that your browser was showing the contents of the DMG in the web page rather than downloading it. If you have managed to download the DMG, open it, and launch the installer, then you’d have a folder at:

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Unity Web Player.plugin/

Yes I did download it and try installing it. But even tho it said the installation completed succesfull I still haven’t found any plugin in that folder.

That’s the system Library folder at the root of your hard drive. What do you have in the Internet Plug-Ins folder?

Just some stupid Roblox thing that I deleted just now since it has no use.

And after deleting it I tried installing Unity once more. No results and the folder stays empty.

Hmm. Just to be absolutely sure we’re on the same page, this is:

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins

and not

~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
