Keep getting "lost the convoy."

For US addresses, can you include the state in the search? It's common for the same city name to be reused. For example: Dallas North Carolina (small town) vs Dallas Texas (metropolis)

I want to try this but every time I try to join either from my mobile or desktop (both on WiFi), I get this error: "That callsign belongs to another player. Pick a different one." that comes from the Railway-hosted wss://worldstrike.fun/ws

Here's a full response with headers:

HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols Connection: Upgrade Sec-Websocket-Accept: GeKaJfsfiYd9s2vROz7kMU3RDWA= Sec-Websocket-Extensions: permessage-deflate; server_no_context_takeover; client_no_context_takeover server: railway-hikari Upgrade: websocket X-Railway-Request-Id: UA8DKXk_TKiusD2aYqVb7A x-hikari-trace: lhr1.7mfs x-railway-edge: lhr1

{"type":"error","message":"That callsign belongs to another player. Pick a different one."} Connection Closed: 1005

sorry thats confusing names are locked to the first browser that users them, so someone else probably took it

It keeps saying "Your connection dropped. Let’s get you back out there." after a few seconds, then returns me to my spawn point. I don't see any bad HTTP status codes in the network tab

Can you make it a little more resilient on Wifi + 4G? I would really like to try this, it seems fun

Also, incorporating elevation data would also be really cool

thanks, found it! The server was kicking laggy connections. Fixed, and it auto-reconnects now.

Hah, I thought it just randomly started working. But no, you fixed it :)

This thing just crashed my whole DE. My GPU reset. Haven't had one like that in years.

Sorry! It's WebGL, so it shouldn't be able to do that. Which browser, OS and GPU? I'd like to track it down.

This happens on every shitty vibe coded 3D webapp that makes it onto HN. I don't know what the fuck they're feeding these bots.

Eh, the browser sandbox shouldn't allow random web pages to crash the whole desktop environment.

Nice! Are tanks spawned at the last picked location? I picked my hometown as I wanted to demolish a friend's house, and I was surprised to find 2 tanks there (it's a random small city in Europe).

I also have the bug where it keeps respawning me to the starting point after ~30 seconds

They're real players, no bots! The 30-second reset was a connection bug, fixed now.

I can't see my tank because the status box takes up most of the screen?

Destroying Mar-a-logo is a blast! So cathartic.

But I'll stick to destroying places that have made my life miserable.
