Building on PC or MAX

I have a simple game which requires the reading of text files, and also uses GUI Layout, etc.. Everything works fine on my system, but when i build a release for PC or MAC, and run it the text and GUI labels, text areas and so on are not visible. I don't know whether they are rendered and not visible, or not rendered at all. Anybody got a clue on why this is?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!!

Edit: I ran it in a development build and found that, it was not able to access the file path. I am not using TextAssets but StreamReader.

$$anonymous$$ost of your folders not readable anymore after compiling the game, so if you're using a path like Application.dataPath + @"/Folder/File" it's not possible anymore. Also, PC and $$anonymous$$AC have different paths. Hope this'll help you a bit.

Like $$anonymous$$alfegor said above. You can't just put them in files. You have to use the Resources file. Which is a file reserved for just what you are doing refer to:
