Question by bloodruns4ever · Jun 17, 2014 at 03:26 AM · kongregate

Uploading game to Kongregate.com, "Failed to download data file"

Hi guys, I'm not sure if you would be able to answer this or if anyone has uploaded their unity game to Kongregate before, but I uploaded mine using the .html file (because the unity3d file was too large). So the game is uploaded but when you go to play it, it says "Failed to download data file"

Here is the game link so you can see for yourself: http://www.kongregate.com/games/JayTheBeast/squared-shooter

Any help would be appreciated, this is my first uploaded game to that site so I'm not sure what's wrong. Thank you!

it looks like that the unity3d file is needed for the game to run. I dont know if you can host the game from kongregate and have it cal the unity3d file from an other server? (unlikely) but if it is have a look at http://docs.unity3d.com/$$anonymous$$anual/SecuritySandbox.html for the sandbox protection

The .unity3d file is the game. The .html file is just a basic webpage in which it is contained.

The page is trying to load a Unity data file which doesn't exist. It's the rough equivalent of a 404 error.

As far as I know, Kongregate accepts the raw .unity3d file (the output from the player build). The limit I'm familiar with is 20MB.

Consider compressing your assets if you're above that limit. Otherwise, check this manual page about reducing build size.
