hi,  
i’m unable to run my own havok/babylonjs app on firefox on android and a few of the examples also don’t work, comes up with a wasm compiler error.  
obviously i’m probably fairly unusual using firefox on android  
cheers  
pete  
ps thanks for the great work your doing with this project, i’m having a lot of fun

cc @eoin and @Cedric as it might be due to some unsupported features on this platform ?

It looks like the error on old Safari. It was unsupported SIMD instruction. Updating Safari/iOS fixed the issue. I guess your browser is a bit old @peterainbow ?

don’t know what version of firefox is, it’s whatever the latest is for my phone from the play store  
according to it’s about  
119.1.1 ( 2023-11-09 )  
so probably not that old  
if anyone fancies installing firefox on android and trying out one of the many playgrounds that use havok

just tried theplayroom lol  
fine on PC/firefox  
on phone bunny and arc shows, but nothing else appears and it doesn’t respond to kicks  
i’m guessing the bunny and arc and button are setup in GUI or elsewhere and that the physics is failing ( no error though )

btw it’s a moto g6play on android 9 that it doesn’t work on  
however just tried it on a mui phone with android 12 and it works fine

so looking like it’s about android ☹

grrrr, so guess an extra corner of a corner, feel free to ignore, not that anyone is actually going to play with stuff, just bored and unemployed…
