I literally had to switch to Unity 4.6.0b21 today so that I could finish up a small Breakout clone I’ve been working on for about a day or so… I had to switch because of some stupid InputField issue where it would crash if I disabled an input field… So, I updated to 4.6.0b21, and I’m guessing that was a bad decision since now the Unity Webplayer doesn’t want to work…
The error message is:
Unity Web Player update finished, but installed revision (4558001) is less than required revision (4606021). Please reinstall.
Is this normal, or is something wrong?
I normally wouldn’t care so much, but I’m planning on hosting a Breakout competition on my website at the first of the month, and I’ve already announced it, so I’m hoping we’ll have a way to play it by then…
just move the slider to the left until you see “Breakout” and click it… It isn’t working for me, that’s for sure…
EDIT: Just read on the website that it doesn’t currently have webplayer support… Have they given an ETA? I’m about ready for 4.6 to just be released, man. I’ve never seen UT beta this long before.
This is normal, and the release notes - both for the beta program and the particular beta - spelled it out. Using 4.6 beta for anything on a deadline is very much “use at your own risk”, and using the Web player for a build to be released to the public is basically the only thing the beta is fundamentally incapable of doing. This is 100% on you for failure to read/understand the risks of using beta. It’s why it’s labeled “beta”.
I see three choices for you:
A) Hope that 4.6 final comes out by your target date (extremely unlikely - if this were going to happen we’d have had a release candidate by now)
B) Retool your competition to use a standalone executable, which won’t have this issue.
C) Roll back to 4.5.x and rebuild your GUI in NGUI or something. You’ve got…10 days.
On the download page it says that beta 21 is not webplayer supported. b20 has webplayer support. If you wish to use a version that works with webplayers please use beta 20.
But 4.6b20 Web players will still only work for users that have the 4.6b20 editor installed, corrected? Based on his situation, it doesn’t sound like that’s an option.
