A sample from @dev-masih he said he tested in incognito mode right after, which means it’s probably not only a problem with our CDN.
What do I need to change in the project to make the loader try more times / try longer when it is having trouble loading the project file segments?
And an error message for when something goes wrong with loading process is necessary.
From `dmloader.js?:
* 'extra_params' is an optional object that can have the following fields:
*
* 'archive_location_filter':
* Filter function that will run for each archive path.
*
* 'unsupported_webgl_callback':
* Function that is called if WebGL is not supported.
*
* 'engine_arguments':
* List of arguments (strings) that will be passed to the engine.
*
* 'persistent_storage':
* Boolean toggling the usage of persistent storage.
*
* 'custom_heap_size':
* Number of bytes specifying the memory heap size.
*
* 'disable_context_menu':
* Disables the right-click context menu on the canvas element if true.
*
* 'retry_time':
* Pause before retry file loading after error.
*
* 'retry_count':
* How many attempts we do when trying to download a file.
*
* 'can_not_download_file_callback':
* Function that is called if you can't download file after 'retry_count' attempts.
and, in your engine_template.html, modify this section to add your extra params:
var extra_params = {
archive_location_filter: function( path ) {
return ("{{DEFOLD_ARCHIVE_LOCATION_PREFIX}}" + path + "{{DEFOLD_ARCHIVE_LOCATION_SUFFIX}}");
},
engine_arguments: [{{#DEFOLD_ENGINE_ARGUMENTS}}"{{.}}",{{/DEFOLD_ENGINE_ARGUMENTS}}],
custom_heap_size: {{DEFOLD_HEAP_SIZE}},
disable_context_menu: true
}
Please, pay attention to this section of HTML5 manual: https://defold.com/manuals/html5/#extra-parameters
retry_time and retry_count parameters
Do you have a suggestion for these setting values? What are the defaults? What is the retry time in? Seconds?
Looks like these are the default values?
retry_time: 1,
retry_count: 10,
Also retry_time is multiplied by 1000 so probably seconds?
I’m going to try
retry_time: 3,
retry_count: 20
Please repor with results! We’re happy to update the defaults if it helps. Also if anyone want to take a stab at the loader code itself we can integrate the changes as well.
Previous numbers did not seem high enough, next build I will test
retry_time: 6,
retry_count: 25
If this does not help probably something else needs to change too.
