  • not sure its related to this thread but music is still randomly not being loaded - happens as of today (stable r234.4) during Preview and happens often. Have not noticed it on NWjs (but I do those less).

    experimental features are turned off.

    what makes matters worse is I CANNOT AT ALL reproduce this in a small project. It only happens in something like the size of the game I am working on. I will say it was NEVER happened before r234.

    Ashley Are you keeping an eye on this thread anymore? Are you aware this is now proven to be a bug that has returned in the latest few builds? Somehow your fix got un-fixed.

    This is an absolutely game breaking bug forcing us to not be able to finish or especially publish our games until this is fixed... it's effecting Ajax, Music, and Spriter files.

  • I'm glad you can confirm this. This same bug of things sometimes failing to load seems to sometimes effect music files from loading and Spriter files too.. I have the same issue.. but now it only fails maybe once every 7 to 15 plays, so if you just run a demo once maybe you won't see the issue Ashley

    does the error show up every time you run the example program?

  • You were able to reproduce the bug before. Can't you simply try the same exact thing you did last time to confirm again?

  • Ashley I'm not sure if the problem is back for Ajax loading, but the Spriter loading issue had been fixed for the previous 2 beta builds (321 and 232), but now Spriter objects are failing to load again with c3 build 233. This also is bringing back the music files sometimes failing to load issue as well.

  • Ashley I think this bug might not be caused by Ajax specifically, Any file might fail to load, specifically files used by ajax, music files, and Spriter scon files.

    I removed use of the ajax object from several of the layouts of my project which were experiencing loading problems of sometimes the ajax, sometimes the music, and sometimes the spriter scon files and even if I run only those layouts which don't use the Ajax plug-in the loading failures persist.

  • What's the best way to retry an AJAX request on failure using jQuery?[SIZE=1]vidmix for pc jiofi.local.html[/SIZE]

    That seems like a question that needs its totally own post.

  • Thanks for the report, I can reproduce. I'll investigate in due course.

    Awesome. Thanks very much Ashley!

  • I confirm I can reproduce this on my system. Ashley do you need anything else to begin to look into this issue?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Fantastic. hopefully this well help. send it to mikeqtm@brashmonkey.com please.

    With your permission I would only possibly share the project with Edgar (spriter's programmer) in case I can't figure it out on my own.

    Also please in the email repeat the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue.

    Just your short description makes my guess maybe the problem occurs when the game is forced to memory juggle (unload some things to load others)

    thanks very much,

    Mike

  • I've got the same issue with my game project, and sometimes music files, sometimes ajax loads of text files, and sometimes spriter files fail to load. Just to reduce the potential for errors I removed the use of ajax from my project, but the music and spriter files still fail to load most of the time.

    The frustrating thing is I've spent the last hour trying to make the simplest possible example project which reproduces the problem, and it loads several music files and several ajax loads of text files and I've added a spriter object and so far it's loading everything perfectly. My best guess is it's based on a threshold.. that at some point it tries to load too much at once and that causes failure... at the moment all I can think of doing is continuing to add big memory eating sound and graphics files to the project to see if it at some point the load errors kick in.

    The only other thing I can think of is we should compare our projects to see if they have anything else in common.

  • This is looking like it might be a problem in the Construct 3 alpha build. The next time it fails press control+shift+j and then screenshot the error message (if any). I'm assuming and hoping like when my spriter animations fail to load there will be an error message, which might help Ashley fix it if it's a Construct bug.

  • We'll look into that. hopefully one thing loading wouldn't break the other thing loading though.
