No More Crash on Launch
If you visited Cultures of the Belt recently and were greeted by a red "Simulation Worker Crashed" modal before the game even loaded, we're sorry about that. It's fixed now.
What Happened
A missing security header on our asset server prevented Chrome from loading the game's simulation worker in cross-origin isolation mode. The browser silently refused to start the worker, producing an opaque error with no useful diagnostic information. Every player hit this on their first visit. A page reload sometimes helped, but first impressions matter and ours was a wall of red.
The fix was two lines of nginx config and a cache bust. The game now loads cleanly on first visit with zero console errors.
