Doesn't load

[erikbsap]

Hi,

nice idea. Seems like Factorio + Tower Defense, right?

However, besides audio the game doesn't load in Chrome on Win10 playing on itch.io, with this error:

Uncaught Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Couldn't flush preferences

Also with uBlock Origin activated a second error occurs:

and FB fails to load, but that is more like a feature.

I wouldn't be surprised if Java is simply deactivated, which is quite normal in 2017.

From the first log, it seems to be failing to save the preferences to your browsers' local storage. Maybe you have an extension that's blocking it somehow?
Seeing as this error is being thrown from the back-end of the library I'm using, there isn't much I can do besides catch the error and disable preferences altogether.

...as for the second error, I have no idea what the problem is. Seems to be an issue with itch.io's site rather than my game's code, although it's very hard to tell, since the problematic source files are obfuscated.

It's also worth mentioning that the HTML5 version of Mindustry does not use Java; it uses a tool (GWT) to transpile Java code to JavaScript-- no Java applets or plugins are used.

For now, I would recommend using the PC/Linux/Mac versions instead.

I'd say all library errors should be caught and handled and the user should only face an exception if there's really no way to handle it in code. In this case giving the user a warning that his data is lost with closing the tab should be enough, right? The game itself should not be blocked by having no persistent storage.

[Anuken]

Alright, a warning should be displayed now, although there's no way I can test to be absolutely sure. I'll upload the fix to itch.io soon.

[erikbsap]

Okay, I see the commit 0decc18. Thanks. I can try again after it's uploaded.

Btw, in your commit message you can also write #3 and then github will automatically add links between commit and github issue number three for you.

[Anuken]

Should be live now. This took a while to finish, since I wanted to implement a tutorial in the same release.

[erikbsap]

I could confirm it works, even with uBlock Origin activated. The notification is also there and understandable. Thanks!
