End screen keeps appearing on refresh, but I want the start screen to appear whenever the page is loaded

ActivePresenter Support Questions

Problem:
My hidden objects game works fine until i complete it and get to the end slide. The problem is that when i refresh the page, it keeps taking me to the end slide instead of loading the first slide. This never happened before when i exported my project in the older version of active presenter. I have just uploaded to version 9 and when exporting a new version of the game, i get this problem.

ActivePresenter version: 9.0.7 for mac

OS: mac

Notes:
Old version of my exported game where whenever you refresh you get to the starting slide which is correct: Hidden Objects - Level 1 - Up in the Tree

I didn’t change anything in the game, so it must be something with the 9.0.7 exporting. Is there a way to fix this?
New version that keeps refreshing the end slide: Hidden Objects

Hi Sarah,

This happens due to some updates in our latest version.
You can fix this behavior following either way:

  1. For your presentation to automatically restart when you reopen it, you can add the following events - actions to the On Load event of the project: (ActivePresenter > Project > Properties > Interactivity tab).

    On the contrary, clear this action will resume where you left off.

  2. Check the Auto Advance option for the last slide:

    And check if the slide has any interaction that pauses the presentation (the interaction that pauses the presentation has a yellow vertical bar displayed in the Timeline pane, see the image below).
    Then, uncheck the Pause presentation to wait for users’ input option.

Hope this clarifies.

Best,
