So I've built a game using Godot engine and exported it to HTML5. I already tried uploading this game to itch.io as a test and it runs great over there, however I've just uploaded exactly the same archive to Newgrounds and it won't load on the Preview. The progress bar is there, it just moves at snail speed and it seems to have completely stopped about halfway along after leaving it for ten minutes. I have refreshed the page multiple times but it never completes.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there's anything I can do about it. I was super excited about releasing a game to Newgrounds as I used to come here a lot when I was younger and I always wanted to have something of my own to upload that wouldn't get blammed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hmm, I've built and released many games using Godot on NG and never had this problem. Have you checked the browser console for any errors? Could you also share a screenshot of the structure of the zip you're using?

The console prints out the following three errors over and over. Any ideas?

The file structure is just a standard Godot HTML5 export. I changed the HTML file name to index.html. I'm pretty sure there's no issue there because I uploaded the same zip to itch.io and it was fine.

OK, I just tried it again and it finished loading this time so I guess it's working after all. It's still very slow but at least it finishes now. Perhaps this is just a connection issue.

Thanks for the help anyway, sorry for wasting your time.

I had something similar happen but I used GDevelop. I think what fixed it for me was making the resolution (or whatever the dimensiom thing was called) a lot smaller. Like half the size of the actual size the game was made originally.

My feedback was that when I released my game people said they could not click on level 1. However I tried it with 3 browsers and had no issues. Again exact same Godot files as I uploaded to Itch. So I'm at a loss sometimes.

Might be a browser issue

What browser are you using?

Google Chrome

This might not be related but I had a level select list in a scrollable container and a friend of mine told me he was unable to select any of the levels, even though it was working fine for me. He was using a touch screen and the scroll was too sensitive so when he tried to tap it, it was dragging very slightly and thought he was trying to scroll instead of tap the level button. I fixed it by increasing the deadzone on the scroll container.

I know quite a few games made on new engines, but where something works, for example, music

I dunno

I tried it on my phone (6 year old phone) and a tablet (newer amazon fire) and had no issues. It also works perfectly fine on Itch.io and gotm.io so I'm at a loss for newgrounds.
