Even with the improvements, you may encounter problems. Here’s the troubleshooting guide:
| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution |
|-------|--------------|----------|
| "Cannot read property 'getExtension' of undefined" | Corrupted download | Re-download the HTML file from a trusted source. Clear your browser cache. |
| Worlds disappear after refresh | IndexedDB quota exceeded | Open Chrome settings → Privacy → Site data → Increase storage limit for file:// protocol. |
| Multiplayer shows "Connection refused" | School firewall blocking WebSocket ports (8081-8085) | Use a VPN extension (like uVPN) or ask the server owner to switch to port 443 (HTTPS). |
| Lag spikes every 10 seconds | Garbage collection in V8 engine | Run with the browser flag --js-flags="--max-old-space-size=512" (PC only, not Chromebook). |
The update introduces a dedicated offline toggle in the launch screen. This prevents the client from attempting wasteful WebSocket handshakes when you’re playing alone on a school network that blocks non-HTTP traffic. Summary
Older Eaglercraft versions suffered from latency spikes and chunk-loading errors in multiplayer. The 1202 upd introduces optimized WebSocket handling, reducing rubber-banding on servers with high player counts.
