Browser version does not work in Chrome
I can't get the Browser version of FreeCiv to work! I navigate to http://play.freeciv.org/webclient/ and click "start game" in the popup window but the game screen is black and it does not start. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Re: Browser version does not work in Chrome
I'm seeing the same problem on iPhone 5 with both the Safari and Chrome browsers.
Re: Browser version does not work in Chrome
Hello,
It doesn't work in QtWebKit 4.8.1 (Rekonq). All Webkit browsers seem to be affected.
Konqueror also fails to load the game, but Konq is not as important as Chrome & al.

I tried to start a multiplayer game and observe an existing one and I had no problems with Google Chrome. It was 2 days ago.

Hi colesmills, randscreen and louis94!
Thanks for reporting the issues with the Freeciv web client. This is something we should fix!
Could you please try playing the game again now, and see if you still get the same problems?
If the problem still remains, then please give as much information as possible about:
- web browser version
- operating system
- Internet connection speed
- plugins installed in the browser
- if you are connecting through a HTTP proxy
- if you have any problems with other HTML5 games which use websockets, eg http://rumpetroll.com/
- error messages in the Javascript console of your browser.
Please give as much information as possible. Thanks for your bugreports!

Re: Browser version does not work in Chrome
Thanks for all the useful debugging information. Today I learned that I had to start testing for yet another browser called Rekonq.
I got Freeciv-web running on Rekonq 2.2.1 on Ubuntu. However, I haven't been able to compile your version on Ubuntu yet.
Could you please test Freeciv-web on Firefox 21 or Google Chrome if you have access? I would like to find out of this problem is specific to
some browser, or if there is some other thing with your system which causes this.
"Unexpected response code: 426" seems to be the relevant error message.

Re: Browser version does not work in Chrome
Works for me in Chromium 25.0 and Firefox 21, but still not in QtWebkit.
Re: Browser version does not work in Chrome
Very interesting. Some versions of QtWebkit is the problem then. I'll give Rekonq on Kubuntu a try when I get the chance.louis94 wrote:Works for me in Chromium 25.0 and Firefox 21, but still not in QtWebkit.
The problem could actually be a bug in QtWebkit. Or perhaps a bug in nginx (HTTP proxy used by Freeciv-web) or the Tornado (python webserver).
Just to be clear, Freeciv-web works correctly for most people using the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari?
I'm trying to figure out of this issue will have an effect for most users, or if it is only for very specific versions of some browsers.
