Hey all, I’ve been chipping away at my game for a few months and I have just a few more things left on my checklist
The biggest issue I’m encountering at the minute is that I have an introduction video, it’s a short 37 second intro video that lays out the plot to the game, it’s integral that it plays every time.
The problem I’m encoutering is that despite having it set up in a fairly standard way it will not load on some machines the first time the game is launched. I’ve tried delaying it, I’ve tried precaching it I’ve tried every fix I could possibly find in regards to to it. yes the movie is in the movies folder.
I have tried:
- Precaching the file
- Delaying the start of the widget by a second, to give slower machines time to catch up
- Various different media plugins, including bink and electra
- Placing the logic for the video in a separate level and loading that so it’s isolated from the main level
- Loading it twice
I’m at my wits end, I think it has something to do with the system’s specs it’s running on because high end machines tend to load the video whilst machines running slower, or on the lower end of performance tend to be hit or miss in terms of opening it. The movie is 55.9MB - a fairly large asset to throw straight at the player first thing, could splitting it into chunks be an option?
Appreciate any help with this as I can’t ship until it’s fixed, thanks
