1 year ago Canterlot Siege 3 and 4 now progress past the title screen, but there are a few issues that I will document here. I also did not realize before I closed the issue for the 2nd game that some of these issues also occur there, but I will just go ahead and document it here, as the issues occur similarly in all 3 games. As a result, I will not spilt them into different issues and just list them all in this comment. These were all tested on the 2023-03-07 Windows x86_64 nightly, on Windows 10 21H2.
Issue 1 (2-4):
There is an issue where the characters get stuck in their attack animation when placed, and only break out of it when attacking an enemy for the first time. This does not cause any errors in the console. The error occurs in both Canterlot Siege 3 and 4 for all characters, but I will just show a video of the error occurring in the 3rd game, as the issue is the exact same regardless of game. It also occurs in the 2nd game, but only for the characters Octavia and Vinyl Scratch (the 4th and 5th characters in the "Ponies" tab).

Issue 2 (2-4):
This is another issue that occurs where the characters are sometimes unable to fire when being placed, and spam error messages in the console. The error seems to happen when the first enemy attacked is not at full health. Just like the issue above, it occurs in 3 and 4, and the issue in 2 only affects the 2 characters listed above.
Here are the errors that are occurring in the console (I replaced some addresses with [random address] and [different on each playthrough], as they are inconsistent, unlike the initial error that occurred when this issue was first made):
AVM2 error: Object(ErrorObject(ErrorObject { class: TypeError, ptr: 0x[random address] }))
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. (accessing field: gotoAndPlay)
Error dispatching event EventObject(EventObject { type: "enterFrame", class: flash.events::Event, ptr: 0x[random address] }) to handler FunctionObject(FunctionObject { ptr: 0x[different on each playthough] }) : AvmError(Object(ErrorObject(ErrorObject { class: TypeError, ptr: 0x[random address] })))
Additionally, this error only occurs on 4 ({name of character} is self-explanatory}:
Error: spriteMC in [class {name of character}] in frame 2 not set!
Here is a video of the issue in Ruffle, along with the log so you can see the errors:
This video recorded on native Flash shows what should normally happen in this situation:
Issue 3 (4):
This is the last issue I could find, and it only occurs in Canterlot Siege 4. Mistress Mare-Velous (third character in the "Towers" tab) is unable to attack any enemies at all, and causes a similar issue as above where errors are spammed in the console, but the error is slightly different and occurs every time she attempts to attack.
Here are the errors that occur in the console. I did the same thing to the random addresses as the above issue:
AVM2 error: Object(ErrorObject(ErrorObject { class: TypeError, ptr: 0x[random address] }))
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. (accessing field: name)
Error dispatching event EventObject(EventObject { type: "enterFrame", class: flash.events::Event, ptr: 0x[random] }) to handler FunctionObject(FunctionObject { ptr: 0x1d3b2dd0 }) : AvmError(Object(ErrorObject(ErrorObject { class: TypeError, ptr: 0x[random] })))
Here is the issue occurring in Ruffle, along with the console:
This is what her attack is supposed to look like, recorded on native Flash:
Describe the bug
In the game Canterlot Siege 3, it hangs after the loading screen, but before the title screen. This is similar to the issue with Canterlot Siege 2, but throws a different error message:
Error dispatching event EventObject(EventObject { type: "progress", class: flash.events::ProgressEvent, ptr: 0x11484680 }) to handler FunctionObject(FunctionObject(GcCell(Gc { ptr: 0x750ce4 }))) : RustError("Cannot access property ::addEventListener of null or undefined"),which is why I split it into a different issue. Canterlot Siege 4 also as an identical issue with an also similar error in the consoleError dispatching event EventObject(EventObject { type: "progress", class: flash.events::ProgressEvent, ptr: 0x16af8d80 }) to handler FunctionObject(FunctionObject(GcCell(Gc { ptr: 0x4b99c4 }))) : RustError("Cannot access property ::addEventListener of null or undefined"), which is why I combined the 2 games into 1 issue. If they have different issues after this one is fixed, I will split them into individual issues.Expected behavior
The games should load the title screen and allow the player to choose a few options before starting the game.
