Whenever I try to watch a video on an in-game screen there is no longer any buffering, just a black screen. This has happened suddenly and I have no idea why.
Known issue, fixed in 0.5.0.0.
Media Player Fix
To give some background, a couple weeks ago Valve pushed an update to Steam, which changed a bit about how the web browser integrated into the Steam Client works. Unfortunately, this change made it so that YouTube videos, and Twitch Streams would just fail to load, or take a really long time for them to instantiate. As our game currently uses the Steam Client’s web browser, this change immediately affected our game. Unfortunately, this seems to be outside of our hands, and we have to rely on Valve creating a fix.
This week, @macdguy experimented on creating a fix for this. To fix this issue, he changed Tower Unite to use the built in web browser inside of the Unreal Engine.

Thanks man. Any projections on that updates release?
They never give any estimates for release. Every update is just “when it’s done”.
