Web player doesn't work

Unity Engine
1

We built a small game and tried to publish to the web.
When I opne my browser and click on the game I get a lot of stuff that looks like this “…Gü¢l(]=¦+ÆÏ4¦?¹Mç7VètÓ0w?¥smY’w1häá<?+kª?¼U­$ØW’_;}Ja?¿C?Ûâyµ¦nj˧¸Úµå?«á…”

I have the Unity player installed in my browser and am able to play other unity web games, like from the Unity web site. Please help. thanks

You are probably getting some errors in the console.
Open /Applications/Console.app and see what the web player prints. Possibly you are using functions which are not available in the web player due to security reasons.

It actually sounds like you’re trying to load the .unityweb file directly in your web browser (and it’s just spitting out the binary and trying to display it as text).

Nothing appears in the console while I am trying to run it from the website. When I run it from the desktop it opens up ok in Safari and runs.

to Matthew
You are right, I am trying to run the .unityweb file in the browser. Should I be doing it some other way?

thanks

When you build the web player it generates an HTML file with all the necessary code to embed the player within a page instead of handing the file directly to the browser. The browser doesn’t know what to do with .unityweb files otherwise.

-So just open the Html file.With safari, mozilla or Internet explorer etc.The Unityweb file opens as a result, and you should be sorted

Finally figured it out. I just needed to create a file on the web page that links to the html file that unity created instead of dragging the created files on to the page directly.

Thanks for prompt responses. The support is great.

You should be able to customise the Unity Html file nicely, Im sure.
