Forums » Help » Safari Windows?

Does Impact work at all under Safari on Windows? I grabbed the latest version the other day and my game loads all the js files and then crashes with an error in audio.js (line 13) of the Impact library. Having seen another person having a similar issue I am wondering if Safari works for anyone?

Line 13 in lib/impact/sound.js is

var probe = new Audio();

So I assume that Safari/Win does not support HTML5 Audio, probably because it's not tied in with QuickTime in the OS. You could try to install Apple's QT player, but I'm not sure if that fixes anything.

I was under the impression that Safari for Windows was discontinued anyway. Did anybody ever use it?

I assume you don't have a Mac and wanted to test Safari this way? Sadly, the Mac and Win versions are quite different. Maybe try running OSX in a VM instead!? Though chances are, if the game runs in Chrome (which also uses Webkit), it will also run in Safari/Mac.

Thanks Dominic - you assume correctly. I'll test on a Mac - hopefully it will work, as you said.
