make the name of the private room be "pw is ***" or whatever as a workaround if he's ded?

urgh... chromium... of course... now I have to try that.

heh, beg to differ. I have never seen a game when the progression didn't go-- auto (can't aim for sh) -> sniper (owo I'm sooo cool I headshot one man and then die kahaha) -> auto (I headshot you like 20 times before you even reload get fed LUL). Or they're using a sniper like a shotgun lol. either way point being something like g36 totally is a substitute lol. right? I would think so with that kind of evidence. all the good guys can aim well regardless of the weapon, making the lack of a need to reload/speed an actually good comprimise lol. I guess you could just be constantly kiting tho who am i kidding I don't know sh.

Maybe the game optimizing can come from another place-- have they moved towards webgpu yet? I remember last time I checked they were still using webgl which I wouldn't be surprised if it was slower. I know it's a Unity game, but... Idk. Besides, with the inclusion of WASM so long ago by now and the nature of what is fast and what is slow from it, you're basically just playing a game made with Java (admittedly not the best, but still a "native" app) so what's the difference. Conceptually all an effort for a native game will do is leak resources all over the place for like 0.00000001% of the player base. ....right? i think.

I'm starting to think it has something to do with client incompatibility. I'd suggest 1. Reloading the website until you get that "downloading game" message again. 2. Making your own room or 3. Joining Quick Play a buch of fing times. (works for me for whatever reason...)
