Frequently Asked Questions


Are you aware of this bug?

Probably. Here are some known issues we're currently battling:


Lag! What should I do?

If your shots are getting off really late, or you're bouncing around all over the place, here are a few things you can try:

Generally speaking, we like to see a ping of 100ms or less. You can see your ping in the upper-right corner of the game window as you play. You can get away with higher pings if they're consistent. Lag spikes (when your ping momentarily shoots upward) will absolutely ruin your day, though, and there is unfortunately no way for the game to compensate for them.


My frame rate is low. Now what?

(Frame rate is indicated by the FPS readout in the upper-right corner of the game window. 60 is best!)

If you're running Chrome, try enabling Experimental Canvas 2D API features:

This may make it better, or worse. Good luck with that.


Why can't I fire?

Some systems have a problem with registering trackpad taps while in Pointer Lock. A full click of the pad, while annoying, I know, should do the trick. It's an issue that's currently being looked in to.


Why can't I move and shoot at the same time?

Some systems have palm-cancelling software enabled by default, which prevents simultaneous keyboard and trackpad/mouse input. Check your system settings for palm cancelling/rejection and turn down the sensitivity or disable it altogether.


Are you going to add more (guns/maps/modes/etc)??

YES!

New Maps are added monthly and we are constantly looking at future awesome features! Shell Shockers is currently being developed by a small team, so it's going to take a little time. Rest assured, however, the game is in active development, and when new features are ready, you'll be the first to know!


Shell Shockers is blocked on my network. How do I play?

No problem! Try one of our proxy domains: www.eggcombat.com and get back to cracking some eggs. No fear if it's blocked too - The full list can be found on our Discord Server


How do I enable WebGL?

That depends on your browser! Shell Shockers requires WebGL, so if you can play the game already, it's enabled, and you don't have to worry about this! Otherwise, follow the directions for your browser below. If your browser version is older than the one listed, download the latest! You'll thank me later.

Chrome 88+

Step 1 - Enable hardware acceleration Step 2 - Enable WebGL

Firefox 85+

Changes take effect immediately.

Safari 14.0.1+

Edge 84+

Should be enabled by default. If not, you probably need to update your graphics driver!

Internet Explorer

Sorry, Shell Shockers doesn't support IE, as it's missing some key features.


WebSockets? Say what?

WebSockets allow for efficient communication that is vital for games of this type. Here's a list of browsers that support it. If yours isn't on the list, or is older than the version shown, you should download a new one!

We're still in the process of working this out, but here's a rough idea:
