Skate 3 browser guides

Five guides, each about one problem people actually hit with the Skate 3 browser port. Every fact in them is read from the port's own client rather than from someone else's summary of it, so each claim can be re-checked when the project ships an update.

Verified against client build 8e0af1091240 on 2026-10-11. New pages are added here first and linked from the homepage the day they pass a build check.

How these guides are made

The browser port is a single-page app with no documentation of its own — its menus, error messages and settings live inside the client code it ships. So instead of paraphrasing other people's write-ups, we read that client directly and quote what it says.

What we checked

  • The client's own wording for every menu, error and setting we quote.
  • The build hash in the script URL, so an update is detectable.
  • The public game-data pack's real size and headers, by measuring them.

What we have not tested

  • Frame rates across hardware. We publish no performance numbers we have not measured.
  • Whether the project's own server is up right now, or where else its data is hosted.
  • Every phone, Chromebook and GPU. Where we have not tested one, the guide says so.
