  • HTML5 Export - Won't Run in Mobile Browsers

K_REY_C IOS Safari does NOT work... Just loading forever. I have an older version of the OS though, so maybe that's why..

    IceBergyn I guess I'm not sure (I tried lots of exports). I eventually tried to settle on the most "compatible" and oldest set of everything. Though please do outline this compatibility mode for me as I very well may have missed it.

    In any case, shooting for the "most compatible" meant I migrated back to 3.5 from 4, I decided to export WebGL 1.0 (GLES2) because the documentation said "WebGL 1.0 is the recommended option if you want your project to be supported on all browsers with the best performance." I used the "Regular" export type as "is the most compatible across browsers, will not support threads, nor GDNative" (though I did try the other options and they also did not work). My memory is that there were different compression options (for web, desktop, etc). and that I tried them all to no avail (though perhaps not every combination of them all).

    I feel like I must be missing something foundational and trivial, because my understanding is that Godot 3.x very much can have a simple 3d game running in most browsers, but I'm so far unable to make this occur.

    Any additional insights appreciated, and thanks all for your help on this!

        There are 3 options : "foward_plus¨ , "mobile" and "gl_compatibility"

            IceBergyn I'm not seeing that option in Godot 3.5. Is that option only in Godot 4? I ported my game from Godot 4 to Godot 3 because my understanding was that 3 was more compatible with web browsers. Is that not true?

                K_REY_C Is that option only in Godot 4?

                It's new to Godot 4, but I think it's just a convenient way of combining other settings into a single setting, and not something that can't be done in Godot 3.

                    So in Godot 4.2-dev6 (has shadows in compatibility mode) this works on many android phones, but doesn't load at all for iPhones (on itch.io it just 404's, where it works on android).

                    I think I'd originally chosen Godot 3 due to theoretically greater compatibility for mobile browsers. At present this is better than it has been, but is there any known workaround(s) for iPhones?

                    Thanks all for all of the help!
