Whomever runs that website should try opening that page using the DuckDuckGo Firefox Android mobile browser. It needs some work.

I think your browser might just be fucky wucky. Looks and behaves fine to me.

Yeah I don’t know, I just used the stock Firefox app. I’m using Bitwarden and uBlock Origin extensions. /shrug

What I long press then ‘open in a new tab’ what see is something trying to do a pop up and then it interacts with the slide-out side panel, and the side panel doesn’t collapse all the way so it’s just long vertical side panel bar, that’s showing the right side of a search box with the magnifying glass, and it covers about 1/5 of the screen so it makes it really hard to read the article.

I’m using the same setup as you with no issues. Not sure what’s causing it for you.

CosmicCleric@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 05:34 collapse

Cookie settings would be my guess; not privacy friendly site maybe.

thermal_shock@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 18:00 collapse

Mines fine also, ublock origin and a few other small plugins

CosmicCleric@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 20:05 collapse

Any thoughts then and what could affect one Android app but not all the other installations of the same Android app?

As a software developer, I can’t think of very many, assuming we’re both correct about having the exact same extensions installed and using the same version of the browser.

No idea. does it look weird in the other browsers?

I only have Firefox installed, and not going to bother diagnosing the problem by installing others, as I don’t have the same problem with other web sites using Firefox/Android.

At least, I wouldn’t want to bother diagnosing the problem until they paid me my hourly rate. 😜

I played Mecha Break during the first closed Beta, and it was so much fun. I didn’t even know there was an open beta on now.

This is yet another predatory cheap asiagrinder with an invasive kernel level ‘anticheat’. Stuff like this should not be promoted. At all.

baines@lemmy.cafe on 24 Feb 01:45 next collapse

how can you tell it’s using something ring0 wish steam was more clear about this shit

Alexstarfire@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 02:43 collapse

DRM is usually known for big games before they are released. You can find articles about how the DRM works online. If it’s a new type of DRM, they usually describe how it works.

baines@lemmy.cafe on 24 Feb 02:46 collapse

yea I found it searching for the game name + ring0

but if I didnt already know steam has nothing

annoying to haven to research this issue now for every game I buy

osprior@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 17:18 collapse

Steam has it listed on the demo, and it will likely be listed upon release, not sure what their stance is on pre-release, but this is a requirement now on steam to list it.

baines@lemmy.cafe on 24 Feb 18:50 collapse

how is it listed? maybe Im blind

osprior@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 19:50 collapse

It’s under the features section (where it says co-op, controller support etc.). Should be highlighted in yellow for all 3rd party requirements (including kernel and non-kernel anti-cheat).

KITA@lemmy.sdf.org on 24 Feb 05:20 collapse

I don’t think anti chest should be in stuff like singleplayer or co-op games but competitive pvp multiplayer games it absolutely is and should continue to be the standard whether you like it or not.

Zoot@reddthat.com on 24 Feb 05:50 next collapse

Not kernel level anti cheat though.

krebssteven@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 08:46 next collapse

So you like giving some random company access to your OS kernel?

You don’t need that for anticheat software and the security risks involved in this day and age practically forbids it.

M137@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 19:08 collapse

How did you miss the important specificity of “kernel level”? No one is hating on “normal” anti-cheat, but kernel level is not acceptable, which is why just that has been the thing people have hated for several years.

DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 24 Feb 18:02 next collapse

Saw a sponsored twitch stream of it yesterday. The stat changing mods on lootboxes is suspicious as hell and goes against the “no pay to win” promise they stated a while back

On a side note, This game is unbelievably horny goo(ne)d god

warmaster@lemmy.world on 25 Feb 07:12 collapse

I think Steam should ban all kernel level AC games. Unaware users shouldn’t be exposed.
