What happened?

I want to create a loading bar that goes from 0 to 100 percent. Unfortunately, it loads from 0 to 36 percent, then jumps to 90 percent and loads the game.

I already found a workaround for the problem. Unfortunately, this still doesn't satisfy me.

In addition I also logged and append the the loading percentages.

console.log

Reproducible test case

simplefied code of my problem:

import { Unity, useUnityContext } from "react-unity-webgl";

export default function Frame() {
  const framewidth = 1920; // fullhd
  const dataUrl = "files.company.de"; // here is some code to fetch my files from a file server

  const { unityProvider, isLoaded, loadingProgression } = useUnityContext({
    loaderUrl: `${dataUrl}.loader.js`,
    dataUrl: `${dataUrl}.data.br`,
    frameworkUrl: `${dataUrl}.framework.js.br`,
    codeUrl: `${dataUrl}.wasm.br`,
  });

  return (
    <>
      {isLoaded ? null : (
        <div className="border-2">
          <div
            className="bg-black"
            style={{
              width: Math.round(loadingProgression * 100) + "%",
            }}
          />
        </div>
      )}
      <Unity
        unityProvider={unityProvider}
        matchWebGLToCanvasSize={true}
        style={{
          width: framewidth,
          height: framewidth * 0.5625,
        }}
      />
    </>
  );
}

my workaround for calculation the percentage:

(loadingProgression < 0.4 ? loadingProgression * 2.5 : 1) * 100

Would you be interested in contributing a fix?

Same problem here, but it ends at 26%

[mark-wff]

Same problem here, but it shows 90% while still loading.

Same problem here, but it ends at 26%

In doing further investigation I realized that this behavior happens when the build in unity is compressed. if in the options it is not compressed then the loading percentage works better. for me it goes up to 90% and then the application is loaded, it is still much better than when it stopped at 26%. maybe I can solve it by compressing the data at the http protocol level between server and client, in theory it should be transparent to the loading library. I will do some testing. also check that you have not compressed the build
