Using Phaser with IE9 - windows 7 - will not run

[vidifon]

Hi,

 

I need help to get Phaser to run on IE9 windows 7.  I am using the Hello Phaser example to test. Compatability view is not active.

 

I am using phaser-arcade-physics.min.js  (Phaser v2.0.3 )

 

It works when testing IE9 in development tools in IE12.

 

It does NOT work with IE9 on windows 7

 

However,

 

It works when testing IE9 on windows 7 with development tools open.

 

It works when testing IE9 on windows 7 with  Phaser v1.1.3

Any help would be much appreciated.

Could you try this: use the arcade-physics.js build (not the min file), open it up and search for this line:

console.log('Phaser v' + v + ' - Renderer: ' + r + ' - Audio: ' + a + ' - http://phaser.io');

Comment it out and test. If it now works then this is the issue. If not, it's something deeper.

I would also try Rich's suggestion. This really smells like the famous IE console.log error which is nearly impossible to debug for someone not knowing. I don't have an IE9 at hand so I can't really help with this for now. The method showDebugHeader() which uses the console.log should have triggered an error before in IE9 for someone shouldn't it ?

Yeah I agree. I used to have a console.log shim in the Utils class, but it caused more trouble than it was worth. Either way I've updated the core Game file to check window['console'] before using it, so it should avoid this in the future. However Pixi throws some console.log errors which I can't modify, although only for coding related issues (like removing children from a container that don't exist), so should be fine in a "clean" game.

 

If it's not the console I'm stumped, as any other error I'd expect to see in the dev tools.

Perfect - that solved it - thank you very much! Should have thought of that. Thanks again

Cool. This should be resolved 'as standard' with the 2.0.4 release this week then.
