SALTLINE WIKI / PLAYER GUIDE
Saltline troubleshooting
Start with the symptom and the evidence behind it. A problem reported on one device does not mean the game fails on every device or browser. These checks may help narrow a cause; they are not guaranteed fixes.
Source check · 12 Nov 2026 · Current revised artifact
Observed in our desktop session
The revised artifact loaded, showed Controls and entered the Mission HUD in Chromium without a sign-in. The pause screen reported that mouse capture was unavailable and offered alternate look controls. We observed that fallback message; we did not reproduce every player-reported input problem.
Open Controls in your session. Try the documented drag-to-look or arrow-key/IJKL alternative, and use Enter to fire if needed. The pause message may also describe edge-based turning. Treat the game’s current prompt as the reference.
Saltline not loading: general checks
- Use the original artifact link. A copied game, fan modification or similarly named game may have a different loading problem.
- Allow the initial scene to finish building. Our first visit showed loading-stage messages before the title screen; we did not measure a universal loading time.
- If the page remains stuck, reload once and check that your connection can reach claude.ai. A platform outage or access restriction cannot be repaired by this guide site.
- Try an up-to-date browser and a clean test window or profile. If that works, check content-blocking or script-related extensions individually; do not disable all protections permanently.
Slow graphics or unstable frame rate
These are general browser checks, not a diagnosis of Saltline: close other graphics-heavy tabs, check the browser’s hardware-acceleration setting, and try a smaller game window. Read the game’s own Settings for available options rather than assuming a quality toggle exists. We have not benchmarked phones or promised a target frame rate.
Player reports: mobile & Firefox
In one public Hacker News thread, some players described difficult touch input or an iOS movement-control problem. Firefox reports differed: some could not play, while others reported success on Windows or Android. Devices, browser versions and game revisions were not controlled, so these reports do not establish a blanket compatibility rule.
The current revised game lists touch controls. Test its move and look areas on your own device; if they do not respond reliably, a desktop with keyboard and mouse is another way to try the game. Physical-phone compatibility is still untested by this site.
Read the public discussion ↗No sound after starting
The in-game controller note says to click or press a key once to start browser audio. Also check whether the tab or system is muted. We have not reproduced a separate audio defect; this is the game’s own advice plus general browser checks.
