well, site fails to load half the time even in browser but it isnt blocked
It does? Oh man thank you for telling me that, seriously that helps me pinpoint the problem.
If it's not loading sometimes then that definitely goes back to the location issue, being that some countries throttle or route international traffic poorly.
Man, again thank you for letting me know that was happening. I'll start coding up timeout and retry logic and i'll give it fallbacks to TimeAPI and WorldclockAPI.
Sorry again, I will work as fast as I can but I will need to go pick my partner up from work in an hour and then feed our goblins. It shouldn't take me that long but I want to make sure you are as informed as possible.
hmm.
if you're not on a Corporate/school network and you do not have parental controls or content filters enabled, and if on top of that then if your provider/country is throttling international connections to both https://worldtimeapi.org/ and https://timeapi.io/ then...
maybe i should remove the network checks from the game. i'll mull this over.
