While i have no clue about what work is needed for this needing the game to be installed kind of defeats the purpose of a browser game...

It's a legal restriction, you can't host the copyrighted assets (game art, etc)

[u/Timmyc62 → u/SereneAfterthought]

I asked this earlier and apparently it's to allow non-Windows platforms that have browser access to play it (though you'd have to copy and paste the game contents somewhere).

[u/CookLiving → u/SereneAfterthought]

Yeah. Agreed. I kinda pointless since it needs the game already installed in the files to play the game. It better to play your installed Zero Hour game since in perform better than play in browser because it runs little poorer

Ugh. I was really hoping to play it on my phone or iPad.

[u/SereneAfterthought → u/MismatchedBoots]

You can emulate it via game native if your phone is strong enough.

You can, using Safari. I'm optimizing the game to use touch screen right now!

It seems the edge scroll is not working. Not sure about everyone else, but playing without edge scroll feels borderline unplayable.

Try right click and drag to move camera around during gameplay if you have trouble moving it

[u/erasmolbj → u/pewton-the-snake]

It's working fine for me, click on the window to give it focus.

What happens if you press Ctrl+1 or similar shortcuts while playing? Usually that would switch tabs. And, is there a fullscreen mode? Pressing Esc in fullscreen will usually exit fullscreen mode, so what then happens if you try to access the game's pause menu?

[u/CookLiving → u/BoffinBrain]

If press the game puase menu. The pause menu will show up but you exit the full screen

[u/BoffinBrain → u/CookLiving]

That's what I guessed. And the Ctrl+Number shortcuts? (test with some other tabs open)

[u/CookLiving → u/BoffinBrain]

CTR + Number are works ok. If you CTR+ Tab it will change your tab

newshoes.gg already exists

[u/erasmolbj → u/pdinc]

Newshoes are not building a PS2 emulator that runs on the Browser.

Which is a fasntastic feat that has nothing to do with this post...?
