I've been working on this the last few days and there's some bad news, it works, but in order to make it work, the user must add the URL/Domain of your site to the "Compatibility View Settings" of IE 11.
In other words, you can't force the browser to render in compatibility mode without the explicit acceptance of the user.
You will find how to configure it here:
