732427 - Some players cannot move their character at the start of the game in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites Graveyard :: BrowserQuest, defect)

Description

[Franck Lecollinet]

On two occurences, we had reports from players (using Firefox 11+ on Linux and Windows) who could not move their character at all at the start of the game. They managed to connect and could see other players moving. They were also able to chat. Clicking did not move their character though.

At the moment I am unable to reproduce it.

I have replicated getting stuck on Fx12 (Beta) but not at the start of the game. I'll include the steps to replicate in this bug.

Example 1
In some cases you can request the character to move to a square that is on the same page but requires the character to move to a different screen to get there. For screenshot 1, go to that panel and then click on the square indicated by the mouse cursor. The character will start to move there. After it has moved to a new panel, change to a new application and wait about 5 seconds. Then click back into browser quest. The game should have stuck on the panel you left but the character has moved off screen (to get spanked by a skeleton). After reviving the character will be stuck and a refresh required.

Zac: can you have a chat with Franck about this bug in the morning?  He had some questions.

BrowserQuest is not under active development and I am going to close this.
