I'm making a chat app and I have it pretty much done, so I decided to try it on my tablet.
I loaded it up onto my tablet and it just stays on the MenuChooser scene.

Here's my code:

func choose_menu():
    var FILE = File.new()
    if FILE.file_exists(USER_DATA_FILE):
        var _code = get_tree().change_scene("res://app/menu.tscn")
    else:
        var _code = get_tree().change_scene("res://startup/StartupMenu.tscn")

This works on my computer, and I'm not sure what's going on.

Thanks in advance.

Is the path written with correct case? If the path is "file.txt" but the actual file is "File.txt", it might not find it. On Windows file paths are case insensitive so that's why it didn't occur earlier.
