ContentProvider:LoadAsync() does not work for me, i put in a content id and loaded it from both the server and client and nothing is happening, the image i’m trying to load is just blank

code for asset loader:

local conProviderServ = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local assets = {
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=5921512240",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=13544104759",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=13544583383",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=9900113584",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=159173819",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=35122166",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=144789481",
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=337569632"
}

conProviderServ:PreloadAsync(assets)
print("Loaded fully")

there are no errors btw

Instead of urls you need to do rbxasset://id

i just did that, nothing has loaded yet. also does :PreloadAsync() yield the thread or not because then the print will be useless

My bad, the correct string is rbxassetid://id, instead of rbxasset://id. Also yes, the print yields.

Apologies for the late reply, I wasn’t aware you had un-solved the topic. I’ve experimented a bit more with preloading, and for whatever reason I wasn’t able to preload certain types of assets. My solution was creating whatever instance that asset id applied to, setting the instance’s id to the id you want to preload, then preloading the instance instead of the content string.
