Description

Summary

The game should always operate in landscape mode. However, mobile browsers support screen rotation. Since this results in a viewport changed (and a forced app reload), let's disable screen rotation.

Impacted services

  • The frontend app
  • The game servers
  • Game builds or automation scripts
  • Tests or Github Actions
  • Infrastructure (Terraform)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open https://staging.duelyst.org in a mobile browser
  2. Rotate the device

Environment information

  • Operating system: Android
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Browser version: Latest

Research direction
The fix involves disabling screen rotation on mobile. Likely by adding a meta viewport tag with orientation=landscape or using CSS to lock orientation. Check the frontend source (index.html or main layout). Since no further details are provided, verify the approach with maintainers if needed.
