  • The correct action to use in this case is 'forward', since you've already gone back. But there shouldn't be a JS error, that should be fixed in the next build. It also looks like at least Chrome has deprecated and removed the automatic forward/back navigation features, so maybe we should just remove them...

  • Thank you for responding.

    The correct action is not forward. When I said "navigate back to the game", I didn't mean hit the back button. I've updated the original post to be clearer.

    I think those navigation features should definitely be removed if they don't work. They are misleading. What I ended up doing was having the browser navigate to a URL and directing it to Browser.Referrer. That's essentially the same thing.
