Unity WebGL Game Not Working? This Should Fix it

[@Chadderbox]

I wish I had this video to show some of my friends a while ago. Really useful stuff!

[@yiikes.1243]

love this. every single game jam I always find my way here an hour before the deadline.

[@GentleGorillas]

LOL LITERALLY

[@giacomocali6853]

OMG! You just saved my life. I was trying to make my WebGL game work for Ludum Dare 50. This video should definetively have more views.

[@AstroSamDev]

I'm glad it worked! My biggest fear with game jams was the possibility that my game would be unplayable. During my very first game jam, I built and submitted it just before the deadline, but it was a broken build so nobody could play it :( . I found these settings fixed it 95% of the time. Good luck in LD 50!

[@giacomocali6853]

@@AstroSamDev Thanks, i published the game just now :)

[@Hwyadylaw]

Stripping isn't *compression*, though it does save a bit of space. It "simply" removes unused code. Unfortunately it's possible that it determines that a chunk of code is unused and throws it away, even when it's needed to run the game.

[@gfcf14]

Disabling compression alone worked for me. Thanks so much!

[@edgirlgaming]

you deserve a like for helping me.

[@dawnsglory]

You saved me! Thank you so much! (my lighting changed a little though and some glitching in deep blacks, but maybe it's something else)

[@GriTss]

Thank's a lot! Saved my ass. I've been through 15 google pages with useless forums before I found this one.

[@MausBastion]

Still having issues. What else can I try?

[@AZEScottTroll]

I'm getting a signature mismatch error everytime I try and load a new scene

[@ItsNetworking]

Have you ever had: "Unity An abnormal situation has occurred: the PlayerLoop internal function has been called recursively." ? I have no idea how to fix it... been stuck for a while now.

[@sanghoonlim6505]

0:54 I have ".NET Standard 2.1". Is there are problem?

[@AstroSamDev]

That is unrelated to this video and a newer version should not have any effect.

[@patricandrade3175]

how large does a game have to be for it to be unplayable?

Thank you! you saved my project

Glad it helped!

lol in the game I´m working on in unity right now I´m, using the same music :D Nice vid btw.

[@arpitsrivstva]

I am getting br (broken) files in build folder. How to fix?

[@syconanimation773]

When I export my game the play buttons is not working can you help out

[@Oliver-b6b]

BRO thanks so much this is the best video ever you helped me so much!!!!!!

[@AstroSamDev]

Glad I could help!

[@ejtomas1508]

my game in unity looks fine but when i export it, the text isnt where its supposed to be. I need help

[@AstroSamDev]

This can usually be an issue with the canvas object in unity. Try changing the scaling to match the screen width. Also, maximize the game view in unity so you can see the changes in real time without needing to build.

[@therealdeadend]

Man you really saved the day

[@kazru7703]

I can build my file successfully, but when i upload my Game with WebGL.Zip file,i don't see the "This file will be played in the browser" on my screen , can you help me?

Thanks that solved the problem!

[@FC12CGaming]

Is There Any Possible Way To Upload The WebGL Build To Something Like Google Slides?

[@AstroSamDev]

No I don't think it's possible to embed it in Google slides, but you might be able to do something where you upload the source files to drive then embed the html portion.

[@blraj.]

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a project I want to keep in linear space (but I tried this anyway with gamma) but whilst it rendered white and black large pixels before, with these settings it gets stuck on loading, any ideas how to fix it?

[@acakebread]

awesome.. worked like a charm

[@juantomasdelportillo7888]

you saved me, for real ,thank you🙌

[@Criares]

YOU SAVE ME!! THANK YOUU!!

[@plateshutoverlock]

I love how unity managed to create the _EXTRACT ONLY_ format known as .unityweb There is absolutely no 3rd party utility known to man that can modify or add content to .unityweb files, only extract from them

[@bl6qs443]

thank you so much!

[@omgimnot6738]

Bro you are a demi-god

[@haachamachama7]

Thank you, you saved me! Unity NEEDS better support for WebG! How hard would it be to fix this, Unity, at very least change the defaults lol

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help!

before 5.4.0 unity has web player export function , but its outdated🥲🥲🥲

[@somedudeonaktm6545]

Will this video help me with the unity game using over %80 cpu???

[@somedudeonaktm6545]

Like I uploaded it to itch.io and it uses over %80 of the cpu, will this tutorial help with that??

[@AstroSamDev]

The settings I changed should increase performance, but some games are too complex to even run in a browser. If I were you, I would also try limiting the amount of game objects and scripts running so it is lighter on the CPU. If it still wont run in the browser, just export for windows and mac.

[@Falcon23K]

great video

[@t3st3d]

thanks for the tutorial

[@sanghoonlim6505]

How can I do in 2021 Version?

[@AstroSamDev]

This process should apply to all of the recent versions of unity

[@sanghoonlim6505]

@@AstroSamDev But, I had error. So I downgraded.

[@IberianInteractive]

Nope It doesnt work...

[@_GhostMiner]

Webgl in unity is the worst thing ever. >:( Gamemaker is much faster and never gets stuck on some il2cpp or compile web module. But obviously gamemaker can't make 3d and basically everything but 2d

@@AstroSamDev Thank you too much my friend Greetings From Sudan

[@Kaldrin]

This created even more error messages when playing the WebGL :/ Thanks for trying though

[@AstroSamDev]

Please make sure the errors are due to the compiler, rather than your own code or assets. The problems this video fixed are mainly graphics and loading related, which usually only throw discrete errors or just cause the game to freeze/crash. I advise you to actually read what the error message says; it's purpose is to tell you exactly what is wrong so you can fix it.

[@Kaldrin]

@@AstroSamDev the game in webgl won't load that's for sure, but in addition when I try your method it gives me a big error pop up in the navigator. I'll investigate more but our code and assets don't have errors in the editor or in a standard build

[@dulo9276]

2022 still working!!!

[@GlitchVR]

Did you find a fix? I feel like we are having the same problem here!

[@PeashooterXD]

[@mcdev6868]

This is terrible advice. Yes it may fix a problem, but by bruteforcing. There are better ways to fix optimization issues, e.g. just by looking at the console. Usually it tells you directly what is wrong. I never ever had a game be "too far" compresed this is just wrong. There might be other issues, server settings are one of them. So maybe compression is an issue for specific webhosts but the reasoning I think is wrong. Both Gzip and brotli are lossless compressions so quality is not increased either by choosing those. Compression of assets is still defined per asset. For mesh compression though, you are right.
