content was stopped because a fatal content (web player)

Is anyone else having problems with the Unity web player randomly giving the "content was stopped because a fatal content" error.

I tried to see if it was a specific browser or version, but it seems to only mess up some of the time. Is there anything in the coding that potentially makes the web player have issues?

thanks!

 

I also met this problem too..
Any comments here?

 

There seem to be a few situations in which this can occur. Which browser is giving this error? Is it happening with any particular webplayer or can it happen with any player?

 

I am having this same problem on all browsers on my Mac, any solution? I have the newest plugin, happens on all apps that use unity...

 

This issue has been demonstrated live by a user but the Unity dev team have not been able to reproduce it. It seems likely that this is actually due to other software installed on the affected computer but we haven't been able to narrow down what this might be yet. Perhaps you can submit a new bug report about this? Any additional information we can get about this problem would be useful.

 

andee - i can confirm that this happens on a brand new macbook air 13". happened on 3.1 but didn't happen on 3.0 when i tried it in the apple store a few weeks back.

 

..same problem here, I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.6 everything was fine on 10.6.5.
Has anyone solved the problem so far?

BTW is 2.6.1f3 the very last web player version?

Thanks

 

Having this issue in all Mac browsers, with the latest version of web player. :\

 

Okay, think I found a remedy for the issue... At least, this worked for me.

I downloaded the Web Player again, and ran the install process (without removing or uninstalling any previous versions of the webplayer). Then downloaded Flock, the browser, and it seems to work fine now.

Hope that helps some of you guys!

ALSO GETTING SAME ERROR IN Firefox.

 

I have a customer with this same problem. He is running on a Windows machine with Internet Explorer. Any resolution on this yet?

 

We had this happen this morning... on Mac, as well. After 3-4 attempts at entering the page w/ the content, he succeeded, and the problem has gone away.

I'm pretty sure that this would have been on an autoupgrade from 3.1 to 3.3, if that helps.

 

Same errors randomly happenning. Is there still not any reason/fix for this?

Windows 7 64bit, latest updates, all browsers, Unity projects with 3.4.2f3, unity player version 3.4.2f3

 

ie: content was stopped because a fatal content error (web player)

I am using Alien 18mx and Windows Exporer.
Recently, I have been dealing with this same issue....
The project runs excellent on the development computer whether Mac or Win 7.
After up-loading to my server if I fire up the game over the internet I get that error.
I have been researching the problem and trying to find the problem....
So, I started by erasing all terrains and re-upload.... Ran perfect over the internet...
So, I put all terrains back in and only erased the two terrains that have grown to 17 and 20 meg..... Ran Perfect...
I put back in both large file terrains and only erased 1.... Re-uploaded and .... ran fine.....
Again, but with only the other large file terrain back in and other out..... Re-uploaded.... ran fine....
But both large terrains back in..... Failed right after full load again.....
It is looking like this problem has to do with simply to much data or too big a file running over the web....
My project is a 78 meg Web streaming version with 130 terrains and only two terrains with HQ textures and trees....
This project is not complete and will be growing... Do I need to keep file size to a limit in order to stream???
Unity Support.... Please conquer this challange.... !

 

Just ran across this again today. We've seen it here a couple of times on the projects we've worked on. We believe it has either to do with how generics are broken in the version of mono that unity is using or the Component.GetComponent functions have a bug in them that randomly shows its ugly head.

To fix this, in the code, go through all references to GetComponent, GetComponents, GetComponentInChildren, and GetComponentsInChildren and make sure they refer to the gameObject for these functions.

So rather than:

void TestBehaviourFunc()
{
Renderer myRenderer = GetComponent<Renderer>();
}

you would use

void TestBehaviourFunc()
{
Renderer myRenderer = gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>();
}

If this doesn't work, I'd suggest looking for anything that might be nesting generics, where a class taking a generic parameter has a function taking a different generic parameter.

Example:

class TestGeneric<T>
{
public TestFunc<G>()
{
}
}

should be

class TestGeneric<T>
{
public TestFunc(Type secondType)
{
}
}

The second is a bit clunkier, but at least it doesn't crash the web player.

 

Hi,

I am seeing this issue on a Windows machine with IE 8 and web player version 3.5.7.f6.

web player log:
d3d: failed to lock vertex buffer 6B4097A0 [internal driver error]
d3d: failed to map vertex buffer 6B4097A0 of size 7488 [internal driver error]
130117 14:12:56 Setting error display: 'The content was stopped because a fatal

Hi
Had this error today and it went away when turned off "Script debugging" "Development mode" when building to webplayer.

Actual order:
Building to Android with Script and development ticked.
Build to Android worked fine
Switch player to webplayer
Build to webplayer seemed to work but build crashed browser load (firefox chrome). Got error "Content was stopped" etc
Unticked Script and Development modes in webplayer
Build to webplayer worked with no errors.

Possibly this solution is just "hiding" the error ... and kidNamedLox solution is better.
I do have a lot of GetComponent statements in my code, but have not gone through them all to check.
Unity version: 4.0.1f2

 

This is not a random problem for me.

I get this error every time I try to run my game from my server on my Windows 7 machine that I built it on. It plays in the Unity program with no errors or warnings. It plays locally through the same *.html on my Windows 7 machine that I built it on. It plays from my Vista machine from the server. I get this error every time I try to run my game from my server on my Windows 7 machine that I built it on.

Chrome on both machines
No complaints from Mac user, testing.
Tried IE on original machine with same problem.

 

Im getting this error on Morzilla Firefox and I need help! Someone help me please it would be greatly apprecaited!

 

Also getting this on the Mac webplayer for our Ludum Dare game. All browsers. Windows webplayer is fine.

Interestingly, the native Linux desktop build of the game also crashes randomly (tested on two Linux mint machines where I have previously run Unity builds just fine). So could be a general *nix issue.

Using a development build results in no usable error output. Simply "Aborted" in the Linux build when run from terminal and nothing in the output log, and on the Mac webplayer output log it's just the same message as the topic.

Using 5.0.1 stable.

 

Getting this same problem now with a 2010 Macbook built pretty much just for playing BSGO. No problems for months, but now I am getting 10-15 crashes an hour, with occasional 2-hour continuity reverting back to another 4 hour stretch of bollucks. Everything has been tried to the fullest extent, everything has been reinstalled, even the comp was wiped and reinstalled with a fresh ox, no changes. I can't even play for a full five minutes, and it's destroying a quality gaming experience that I worked very hard to get into my life.

My computer is not the problem, it has got to be something else.

Was using 10.8, no problems until two weeks ago. Consistent troubleshooting until a complete wipe and reboot to 10.11.2. No other problems with computer, everything is faster and wonderful with all software Except Unity.

Please hear and fix. I would write the code myself if I knew how.
Thinking of learning how just so I can fix your frakking game.

There are also a number of worrying things in game, like the game's lack of being able to save graphics option menu changes, and controls of this and that drop out at loading, and persist to no work until game window is reloaded. More lag, and odd physics are punching through the game developers' code to make this experience a trying one.

 

Don't Forget, the Web Player is dependent on NPAPI plugins and Web Player builds will no longer be maintained (see blog post from Oct 8 http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/10/08/unity-web-player-roadmap/)
