    Anyone else experiencing their webplayer builds either not loading at all or loading with mostly missing gui textures? Any solutions from Unity?

    Same issue.

    Looking at the "\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\WebPlayer\player\info.plist" it says...

    <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
    <string>4.6.0f1</string>

    Perhaps a final release coming soon?

    My web builds also stop working mysteriously, i have a build that i know worked a few days ago and it suddenly stopped working?

    Might be a player issue, did it get updated in recently?

    Same issue here. This is bad because our game is mildly viral with 20-30k hits per day. Ive gotten about 500 bug reports from kongregate so far and theres nothing i can do! Any thoughts on a temp fix!?

    Adventure Capitalist, I assume? (your name gave it away). Idle Conquest here, we cant even get the game to load, at least your UI partially loads =P. Hope this can get sorted out soon or someone from Unity can tell us how to fix it!

    My game Idle Conquest is completely down after going viral and it's been down ALL day, not just an hour or so. There's no word for Unity on what went wrong or what we can do on our end to fix it up. No announcements, no reassuring replies to this thread. Frankly I'm mad. Our launch was already rocky and this may destroy our game completely.

    Yes, we used a beta build. But beta usually means that there are glitches here and there you should expect and, as I programmed my game, we have worked around all kinds of little glitches. However, complete destruction of project files and game builds = ALPHA builds. Plus the build we used was called a "fully tested stable build".

    I would like some sort of response here because my game is being ruined every damn minute those players open it and see that it's not working, so excuse me if I'm feeling highly disgruntled.

    The offline web build also doesn't work. Nothing should have changed with the client right? Very weird...

    Awesome... So the problem is with the new version of web player. All my old builds using 4.6.17 and 20 are messed up too. Hope this is going to get fixed soon. I know this is beta, but it new updates shouldn't break old builds.

    That was fast! I'm wondering what was the issue, since the local webplayer plugin wasn't updated?

    Update: ...at least it wasn't manual update.

    There was a switcheroo happening with the Beta channel for the player which we reverted. Totally my fault and am sorry for that.

    Side note: Using a beta build for production has a higher risk of us breaking your stuff!

    While in development we fiddle with features, APIs and other compatibility breaking changes. So things made with an earlier beta build might not run on a future version and a rebuild on your end will be necessary as witnessed yesterday.

    i have the same problem, the RC1 update broke the webplayer again :(

    (the game was built using b20)

    Should i rebuild using rc1, or is a possible fix on the way?

    my guess is that we changed a API between b20 and RC1 (I can't remember exactly). but it looks like you have to rebuild the webplayer with RC1.

    ok, so i rebuilt the game with rc1, but now it's extremely laggy in the webplayer :(

    previewing in the editor is fine.

    according to the webplayer debug log, no exceptions are thrown..

    Indeed, and along those lines, making life even more interesting is that I'm having trouble rebuilding, Case 646174 is an editor crash on hitting play after upgrading the project from b20 to f1.

    And the answer to my own whining/bug/crash on play report is in the first few lines of the Release notes:

    For anyone else who finds this.
