Not sure why but whenever i open the game manual it gets stuck loading with the loading icon. Yes i do use extensions that block javascript and XSS(no script ext) have whitelisted the game manual but still no dice. I am using firefox.
One thing i noticed is say i press F1 in the IDE it opens the manual in the browser to the required page no worries and loads the content. But then when i try to click on something else to read it will change the address in the address bar but will not actually load the content and will get stuck with the loading icon until i manually refresh the page then it will load. This is obtrusive and annoying and is stopping me from reading the manual because no one wants to refresh a page each time they want to read it.
Steps i have taken:
firefox browser:
- Whitelisted the game manual in no script. < no change
- Disabled all browser extensions and addons. < no change
-Extracted the game manual. < Runs in firefox no worries
Edge browser:
- works
I can browse the offline copy no worries but if i call the docs from the IDE it is when the issue occurs.
How to fix the issue? Not interested in using another browser ff is my default.
Also the search function is really slow that it is almost useless not sure if this occurs normally or is just because of the other issues that are happening.
Open online based manual: https://manual.yoyogames.com/#t=Content.htm < problems and issues as described above.
Open manual by pressing F1 and with the default settings used in GMS2: http://127.0.0.1:51290/index.htm#t=GameMaker_Language/GML_Reference/Asset_Management/Instances/instance_destroy.htm < issues same as above.
Edit: So if i open the manual manually by opening index.htm from within its directory it will work with no issues:
Opening index.htm: file:///C:/ProgramData/GameMakerStudio2/Manual/GMS2-Robohelp-en/index1.htm < works as intended ofcourse no IDE integration using this method though.
