Congrats on launching!

If you're looking to dive into the problems more immediately, there's a wealth of API clients and other resources available in the forums: https://discuss.starfighters.io/t/helpful-external-tools/136

Don't be afraid to try the game if you don't have much programming experience. It's seriously a great way to pick up some valuable skills.

Trying to start the first level:

"Couldn't resume the level because Couldn't connect to the GM server to resume the level."

UPDATE: Can log in now. Cleared browser cookies, but have no idea if that's a coincidence or not.

I seem to have hit some kind of bug signing up:

1. Filled out signup form, hit enter.

  > Page reloaded, sign-up form empty. No other feedback.

2. Filled out signup form again, hit enter.

  > Told username and email address taken.

3. Check email.

  > no new email.

4. Filled out login form using info entered in step 1.

  > Page reloaded, not logged in.

Congrats on launching!

I'm getting this error when trying to play the first level: "We couldn't start the level: couldn't connect to the GM server to start the level. Refresh page to check if server is down?".

I assume it's just too many people hitting the server at the same time, but fyi.

Unable to validate my email. Earlier it wasn't working at all, now it tells me I need to be logged in (but I am, I think). Edit: Fixed for me now.

Blow away cookies for the site and try again.

Wow, I never think I've had a confirmation email arrive so fast.

FWIW, I'm also hitting the rate limit exceeded error when trying to access the "first_steps" level.

+1 exactly the same problem. Maybe it is because of the high number of requests. I'm astonished that the site is still up despite being #1 on the front page. EDIT: Yup, clearing cookies solves this
