Can you send some screenshot displaying what is the problem ?

Error occurs when trying to run compiled from C function. Message (Win 10, Internet Explorer 11):

---

To compile functions to JS from C we used WebAssembly. According to the documentation, it looks like WebAssembly isn't compatible with Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer 11 was released in 2013 , it is now being replaced with Microsoft Edge (on Windows 10). Windows 7 will also lose support soon. I think that we can assume that the user have other browser installed alongside IE. To be kind to users of old OS/browsers we should display information about minimal requirements for the browsers, asking user to open Edge/Chrome or Firefox. See https://caniuse.com/#feat=wasm

I agree with @grzanka. Other solution is that we could also compile the libamtrack core to pure JS, but it will lower the performance.

[grzanka]

Is it technically possible to use "pure JS" on browser/OS which doesn't support WASM ?

[marwin1991]

I guess it is possible, but this solution only give us IE 11, IE lower than 11 have problem with other js functions that we use. I was testing IE 8 and it reported some probles with bundle.js which is produce by react.

[grzanka]

IE 8 was released in 2009, I'd assume it is safe to put in on "unsupported browsers" list

[grzanka]

I've tested also Windows Server 2016 (connecting via Terminal Services to CERN) - it has IE 11 installed and no Edge browser.

[marwin1991]

And no Mozilla oraz chorme browser right?

[grzanka]

Nope. It is centrally managed machine, I have no admin rights there.

[marwin1991]

But we can support IE11

[grzanka]

Good idea ! Do we have an issue on that ?
