Looks like there is an error. It might prevent the engine from loading (or it might not even be related) Can you share the error from console? ![Screenshot 2025-02-14 at 16.46.11](https://defold-forum-bucket.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/original/3X/5/7/57b143f0ca1c8fe2433207a7d2bb01a08aeeaab6.png) ---
