Connection & speed

Room connects but gameplay stalls

Room membership uses WebSocket; direct gameplay can use WebRTC. A managed network may allow one connection type and restrict another.

What to do

Technical references

Responsiveness depends on both devices and the network route. Direct WebRTC and server relay can take different paths.

Stable packet delivery matters more than headline download speed. Busy Wi-Fi can cause varying latency despite a fast speed test.

P2P sends game messages directly between browsers. Relay routes them through the room server when direct traffic fails or stalls.

A VPN changes routes and may affect browser connections. It can help or hurt a specific connection; speed improvements are not guaranteed.

Gamepad access and Web Crypto depend on secure-context rules. Public deployment should use HTTPS and secure WebSocket connections.

Each device emulates its own console. Power saving and competing applications can interrupt frames despite a fast connection.
