Uncaught TypeError fixed?
This past month has been a quite frustrating one. I have never play tested a game as many times with as many people, as I have this game. I was sure it was ready when I launched it; But then I started getting many messages of people getting the same Error message:
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setDimensions' of null."
Never once had any of my play testers encountered this bug, and no matter how hard I tried to replicate it myself, I couldn't. It seems like most people got through the game just fine. But I don't want Sofia to be a game that 'probably' works. I want it to 'definitely' work, especially since there is a paid version. I tried out different workarounds that let you skip the parts of the game where the error normally occurred, but then it started appearing all over the game for some people. It simply didn't make sense, and the web had little answers to my problem.
After a while, it dawned on me that it must be connected to a plugin I'm using. However, I've been using plugins in my past projects without any issues, so it could only be one exclusive to this project. So I decided to disable and delete every plugin I downloaded specifically for this game; but this came at a cost. I had to restructure many parts of the game, and honestly a lot of them became quite janky. All in the hope that this *might* fix the issue I've been facing. In the end, I still have not the slightest clue if this actually fixed the error. All I know is that the game has always run just fine for me, and any friend I've sent it to.
So all I can do now is pray that it's finally fixed.
If you do still get the error, there is nothing I can do, but refund you if you paid money for it. If you only invested time, then all I can say is, that I'm sorry, and I've tried. I really have.
Thank you all for your patience,
and if you'd still be willing to play my future games, it would mean the world to me.

PS: If you still get the Error Message from an old save file in the browser version, that might be due to the save file. In that case you will unfortunately have to replay the game, I am sorry. (Please do tell me if the error occurs again, despite restarting, though.)
