Saying it again because it keeps happening.

Do NOT delete Eclipse if you are experiencing loading issues, you will lose your data that way.

Try these steps to fix: https://t.co/xA6JDHbqOL

A more immediate fix is to disable service workers entirely:
1. Open iOS's settings
2. Safari
3. Advanced
4. Experimental Features
5. Find and disable "Service Workers"

From here you can load Eclipse, export your backup, re-add Eclipse to the home screen, and import your backup.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Release 2.2.12

Just adds back offline support(!)

If you disabled Service Workers offline mode will not work. Transfer your data to a new Home Screen icon via the export/import system in Eclipse’s settings, if you haven’t already before re-enabling it.

@Sktizer Closer? Yes. Will it still need more time? Also yes. Most of the time that’s been spent on v3 has effectively been research and development. A lot of relevant info to this question can be found here:

@EthanDegrandpre Actually let me rephrase that: after adding to the Home Screen again, import the backup in the newly added icon instead of the old one.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Offline support is temporarily disabled so that users facing this might be able to actually load into Eclipse. If this doesn't fix it, please wait a bit and it may fix itself. I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience for people facing this issue.

@TryEclipse If you're seeing this screen when you try to load Eclipse, reloading a bunch of times fixed it for me.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

@EthanDegrandpre And once you do that you can use these to export your backup.

Once you export, add eclipse to the Home Screen again and import the backup in the same spot.

Once you do that and your data is loaded, you can delete the old icon and re-enable “Service Workers”.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

@JustDario2 This should be fixed, if you didn't see the update tweet

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Ok pushed a quicker v2.2.7 bug fix update (v2.2.6 was just a version bump):
- GB(C) emulation was very slow. Switched back to the old frame timing.
- Safari toolbar cutting off buttons.
- Featured skins' URLs were incorrect.
- File picker graying out ROM files.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

@Bob86795218 Eclipse is actually going to be changing skin formats in v3, but Delta uses pdfs for skins (for whatever reason), which aren’t easy to parse on the web. The format will be a lot better for designers though.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Pushed v2.2.9, which fixes:
- Controls on the iPhone SE (gen. 1) and devices of the same size
- Quitting a SNES game that didn't have a save wouldn't work
- Some general skin issues

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Also, it *must* say "Service Workers" exactly, or whatever the equivalent would be for your language if it gets localized. "Service Worker Navigational Preload" is not the same thing.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

If "Service Workers" doesn't show up, try updating to the latest iOS (16.4)

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

This is just how browsers isolate local storage, we can't change that.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Each Eclipse you add to your home screen has different data, including Safari. So, for example, exporting a backup from Safari, when you were playing games in a home screen icon, will not export the data from the home screen icon.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

@DTN_Pacman Try these steps. If “Service Workers” doesn’t show up, try updating to iOS 16.4 and doing them again.

1. Open iOS's settings

Released v2.2.8:
- Introduces a new setting that lets you toggle between needing the ringer or not for game audio. This lets you watch a video or listen to music while playing a game.
- Reorganizes Settings slightly.
- Adds icons to the game menu items.

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

@YungGosse Really? Does it say you're on v2.2.7?

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Release v2.2.5 🎉

This is a pretty big quality of life update, fixing a lot of non-emulation-core issues people have been having, including things like staying logged into Google Drive, control responsiveness, & much more!

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Just want to reiterate: Eclipse updates are automatic. You do not need to add Eclipse to your home screen again. Your data does not sync between multiple home screen icons or Safari (or whatever browser you may use on iOS).

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

@myyjoshh Glad to hear!

[Eclipse @TryEclipse]

Just to get a sense of the damage, how many people are having issues loading Eclipse because of the "redirections" or "Load Failed" error? And for those who answer that you did, what iOS version/device are you on?
