9 months ago I've recently had some reports from users about my gx.games games saying they got this error. A dialog or something else notifying the user of what is going on would be nice.
User reported a bug in ticket [Ticket #189215]
However, it seems like this is working as intended for now, as per the following exchange on slack.
"Russell Kay [4:41 PM] We should just fail gracefully if WebGL is is not available
Russell Kay [4:41 PM] we do expect WebGL to be there though
Daniel Cleaton [10:06 AM] Fail gracefully to the canvas method as they're asking, or to a dialog telling them that WebGL is not enabled and must be re-enabled to run the game?"
Adding this as FR after checking with QA.
Here's user's original message:
Bug Type: Bug with in-game functionality Ide Version: 23.1.1.393 Runtime Version: 2.3.5.458 Platforms: Opera GX (Beta) Components: In-Game Functionality
Description: Hello,
Here are the steps to reproduce.
1- Launch Opera GX with the parameter "-disable-webgl" to disable WebGL, e.g.: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX\launcher.exe" -disable-webgl
2- Load any project in GMS2 and compile to Opera GX.
3- Notice the game crashes on startup. The JavaScript console logs the following message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'depthRange')
This should either fail gracefully or (better imho) fallback to Canvas 2D even though this API is much more limited.
Thank you.
