can't even play

[[RG] Daniel]

I am starting to think this is a core code issue with Unity3D. How about until that gets sorted releasing a tiny app for users to download to play. I've coded one up (but can't release as it would require another html file on your server rather than the default one)



Slighty More Designed:

Nice work, Dan.

I don't think this is necessary a fundamental problem with Unity3D. We're only seeing this particular problem with beta software, namely IE8 and Chrome, by the sounds of it. In our testing, it works without this problem on Windows IE7, Firefox and Opera, as well as Mac Safari. On the other hand, the Unity dev env is Mac-based, so it's possible there are some Windows issues with the web player. I'm pretty sure it will turn out to be some UAC/DEP issue which will hopefully soon be solved, fixed in a Unity update, or fixed when Unity for Windows comes out (which is rumoured to be in the works right now). Naturally, I hope we'll hit upon a solution sooner than later.

Apart from all that, it's a very interesting idea you've put forward. We've just launched the beta so we're very busy at the moment, but I do definitely want to discuss this with you further. I will follow up with you in a PM when I get back into the office tomorrow. Thanks again for your input.

i cant play either, when i try my computer gets messed up, my moniter will trun off after saying its in power saving mode, but the sound and everything else works an i have to restart my computer

Eesh, that's the first we've heard of anything like that. No idea what's going on there.

Hmm ok I got a couple different problems.

In firefox: The game starts, I created an account with the game (this one) but when I try to login the game will say login failed.

When I try to start a game in any mode I go to the loading screen, it says loading asset manager 100% and stays there forever.

In Internet Explorer 7: I see unity logo, a message saying "Invalid Unity File" and "Error Details", when I click on error details a pop up says "Data file is corrupt (not a unity player file)"

Im running on Vista Ultimate SP 2, firefox is updated, UAC is turned off, I tried turning the firewall off but same thing happened.

I hope you didn't ditch the whole project because that would be sad.

Yeah Im having the same problems ie cant play... Tried ie and firefox but still no action.

Quick question for you Is this or will this be playable on the PS3 browser ? Have you any plans to get it on ? As you would get thousands playing.. Just a thought.
Thanks

Hi,

Sorry about the problems. This is very much a beta, and we are working on NOMBZ ONLINE on a continuing basis. Hopefully the problems you encountered are now fixed. Please let me know if they persist.

The project is absolutely not ditched! It remains alive and well! The leaderboards are a new addition, and open the door to a great deal of future features related to player profiles and progression.

It's working now, good work.

When someone on my contacts show up I will try the multiplayer.

[Bren]

Glad to hear it!

well this is odd...i was playing just yesterday using IE...now its back to the screen not responding if i try to click a character..or play....just like before

Very strange. I have updated the game, as well as built with the newest version of Unity, since you made this post, so hopefully this problem has been resolved.
