Characters not appearing in 2nd release

[MrN830]

I recently downloaded the second release and after setting it up, the characters, text boxes, and .webm backgrounds did not appear in OBS. The only thing that would appear was the "VS" and caster overlay. I understand this may be a simple error on my part, but I wanted to alert you nonetheless as I am reverting to the prior release for the time being.

Oh boy first issue! Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this one. That sounds like every element that needs to be changed isn't loading. V2 has changed all those methods to use more modern, native libraries, so I'll assume that's whats failing in your case. Are you using the latest version of OBS? (v25 as of now).

[MrN830]

Yes, I'm using OBS v25.0.8.

[MrN830]

Is it possible I need to update any JS libraries or any windows drivers?

That should all be handled by the chromium inside OBS. Also for the record, that issue also happens when the javascript doesn't load at all. Nowadays local files can't load javascripts by default for security reasons, but the OBS browser source will skip this (you can quickly test this by just opening the html files on your actual browser). But that would be weird because you said v1 worked for you.

You could always test if that's actually the problem here by opening a local server and telling the browser to look after the url of the local server + the file. You can easily do this with an IDE like Visual Studio Code or Atom and installing a local server extension. But yeah, this shouldn't be necessary.

That doesn't seem to be the problem. I attempted to use Streamlabs OBS to give it a shot, but the issue still remained. I don't know what else could be the issue, but no worries if it's not working out, I can just use V1.

I'm going to look into it.

[MrN830]

Also, the regular overlay (not the vs screen) works and updates just fine.

[MrN830]

I know what the problem is. I've been doing some tweaking with custom art and stuff, and I must've messed up the scripts file in the process. Apologies if I wasted any of your time!
