RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded.

[jorycz]

I get RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded. when I upload game and try to type anything into DOS shell in Safari on iPad (iOS 18.1).
Same for Google Chrome. I am able to put there like 2 chars in Chrome and then same error appears above DOS window.

can you try using the ISO instead of a ZIP file? with a zip file it tries copying all the content to the C drive but ISO is more efficient because it streams the data.

Sure! I did it right now and it imgmount .iso then imgmake .img and shows me Drive C is mounted as dune2.img.
So far so good.
Unfortunately, as soon as I hit the keyboard I get this error in browser even when using ISO :(
Oh and sorry I didn't mention that I have physical HW keyboard, if it makes any difference.

On the first page, can you go to settings, clear the hard drive, and try lowering the Initial HD to 50mb, then try it again and see if that makes a difference?

I tried it and it was slightly better. I can write to DOS window more chars like maybe 25 for test? But then I wrote dir and as soon as I hit Enter key it showed same error again.
I tried it again (deleted browser site data and kill / reopen browser) and it definitely allows me to write between 20-30 chars but then same error appears again and I can not do anything with MS-DOS window.
Still using .iso for testing.

BTW It started showing Loading ... only. Even I deleted browsing data and killed browser. It was instant before. I hope I didn't crash it.

It has nothing to do with keyboard. It’s probably browser thing. Now I got this error after unpack game and then just twice click on Zoom In without touching keyboard.

What platform are you on? Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook ? And what Browser ?

[jorycz]

It's specified in my first post. Safari on iPad (iOS 18.1)

Ok thank you - yes there is currently an issue with IOS devices which I have been aware of.

I was just about to post this same issue. Do you know when this issue, if at all, will be fixed?

From my own research, it appears related to a recursive function; source:

I hope this helps. I tried looking at the code myself but I am not seeing which function is the issue :-/

@technofox01 I think it has something to do with how i'm compiling the webassembly. I'm using the -ASYNCIFY because the way the code is structured there is no top level game loop. Normally with a loop you can just use emscripten_set_main_loop which in my experience has always worked very stable on iOS. However with Asyncify I need to use emscripten_sleep() to yield to the DOM which doesn't seem to work as well on iOS. Long story short I don't have any good solution yet.
