When I use my smartphone(android) it is really hard to navigate on the map and select stars and/or carriers. Is it possible to implement small arrows at the edges of my screen or something similar so I can navigate the map?
When I touch my screen on my phone, a couple of things can happen:
I can actually navigate the map and select stars and ships (this rarely happens)
It moves the map randomly (49%)
it scrolls the website and menu(49%)
This even happens when I hold my finger on the screen and start moving after the vibrating/buzzing of my phone. I checked this with the phones of friends who also play this game and all have the same problem, I don’t know or other phones besides android have this problem.
I suspect that this is not a bug, but rather a question of technology: The Android standard browser does not fully support HTML5, but that is the technology used to implement NP2… so there is not really another fix there but to use a browser that does fully support HTML5 (as for example Chrome or Firefox)
I am not a HTML5 developer, so i hope i am not telling complete bullshit here… but that is essentially the result of the research i did to solve the problem for me.
So a good solution is: Install Chrome or Firefox on your phone and use it to play NP2.
@Camelorn is correct in that, if it works in every other browser and not in the default android browser, then the problem is with the android browser. Hower I like to try and make everybody happy and would love to fix the bug.
Unfortunately though, I don’t have an android phone with that browser. My nexus phone ships with Chrome.
If anybody know anybody who would be willing to donate an android phone to IHG I would take the time to debug this problem. Anybody know anybody and Samsung?
