Hello, I’m trying to make a game. When the game ends, users could push “Play Again” button at the result screen, it would navigate back to the game screen. Recently, it seems that canvas doesn’t reload and the game couldn’t restart when navigating back. But it worked fine when I first made it in early October. I’ve tried using “when screen opens” block to replace “when canvas reload” block. It worked fine on my i13, but couldn’t start the game when I ran it on web preview. I’d like to use “when canvas loads” block, what should I do to reload the canvas when navigating back? project link: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/d1fb9b8198b0fb753c4260bcade68603](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/d1fb9b8198b0fb753c4260bcade68603) Thanks. ---

In the `Screen_Result` go back to `Screen_Start` anlso enable the `Loop` in the `Timer` so it can start again. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/5/3592ad40ad9f97e7b7c5861d1680eb756a32fdab.png) This should fix it. ---

Thanks for the reply. I’d like to skip Screen\_Start and go back to Screen\_Game directly. I’ve tried your suggestion, but after Screen\_Start navigated to Screen\_Game, the game still didin’t restart. ---

I tried it by web preview. And it did work on my phone after I saw your last reply and tried again, thanks! 😀 Is there any way to go back to Screen\_Game directly to reload the game? ---
