The visualiser shows a grey background with one small brown block instead of the full game scene and bots. I’ve tried everything I could to fix this on my windows and my linux machines. I run it through the downloaded exe or pnk visualisers (with the game engine running perfectly). I’ve also tried running the project.godot through Godot engine which gives the same output. My docker is working fine. I think it might be a communication/connection issue with the server/engine and the visualiser. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @Rae!
Thank you for reaching out to us. I’ll pass this message along to the relevant team. Someone will get back to you as soon as possible
Hi @Rae,
Just a few questions to see what we’re dealing with
- Which version of the visualiser are you running?
- Did you start the game engine before or after starting the visualiser and selecting the game engine option?
Hi @ibvs
I’m running the visualiser from the latest github version v2025.2.0. I also tried the link directly from the readme of the latest version.
I start the game engine before but I have also tried after.
Also to add I’m able to run the playable bot file which gives a terminal output of the maze and the z and 4 characters which I assume is the guard and the playable bots.
Hi @Rae ,
Thank you for the feedback. As discussed at the build-a-bot session, please follow these steps when using the visualiser with the game engine:
- Start Game Engine
- Start Visualiser and select “Link to Game Engine” option (NOTE: At this point the visualiser will be in the state as indicated in your original screenshot)
- Start 4 bots (Your own or the reference bots)
- The game should start running at this point, and be visualised as expected
Please let us know if there are any other questions on this.
Its working perfectly, thanks so much IB
I’m glad it’s working! Thanks for the feedback
