Tried to equip prototype pirate shield and crashed

Added the pirate prototype shield to inventory from the cheat menu, tried to put it on, game crashed. Playing on Android in browser, crash screen attached

I think this might be something chrome specific. I'm gonna try something that might help alleviate it with the next patch, but the true cause remains ellusive.

Do chrome and Firefox have similar issues like this then? I don't use chrome and I don't know the intricate differences between it and Firefox on a programming level. Sorry, I should've specified it was Firefox originally

Mobile browsers are a little weird in that they aren't really the whole browser but mostly just a skin around a system-provided browser engine. Looking through our Sentry logs of the issue the overwhelming majority of people that are running into this issue are encountering it using a Chromium based browser and the few other examples are mistakes in our implementations for specific items.

Okay, gotcha, that makes sense! Thanks a bunch! I'll just have to get shields legitimately for now I suppose, lol

I did try cheating that exact shield in for myself and it worked on desktop ff totally fine, so I can only surmise it's something really weirdly specific about it being on android/chromium specifically

Strangely enough, I tried it again on the same save, same shield, same phone and all, and it worked?? So... I have no idea, lmao

One of my theories is that sometimes chrome decides to delay re-rendering the UI after selecting a new item, so internally it has a piece of equipment selected but the button is still displayed as "Use" and tries to use the item like a consumable instead of going through the equip process. It's fuken weird whatever is actually going on.
