Hey guessers!

This update brings you new exciting game mode to check out, made possible through the integration of Geometas.com into this new map.

Inspired by Learnable Meta, this mode shows you specific locations that feature distinct metas, and explains the meta right after you guess. This is a great way to quickly improve at the game. These locations are locked in time to ensure that the meta is always present.

To play it, visit the maps page and select it or click here.

On the result screen, the meta shows up in the lower left-hand corner.

Hey guessers,

small update, the game now has an about page: https://openguessr.com/about

I've read a lot of comments on this subreddit that Ultimate is far better than Free tier so I gave it a try, and I also used an ethernet adapter for my laptop to get the best possible latency (I have around 100Mbit/s down, 40-50 up).

However, I am very disappointed with the quality – the image looks incredibly blocky and not very sharp. I tried custom settings as well to ensure the image is 1440p, set it to Quality over Performance, and reduced the frame rate to 30, but the image quality only got marginally better.

I tested this with Horizon 6 on Ultimate, but also tested a few other games on the Free tier. I also checked the Forza settings and they correctly show 1440p with effectively everything maxed out. For me at least, this is unplayable and genuinely looks worse than the image quality I get on my Steam Deck (which is 720p!) with Forza.

Anyone know what's going on? Is this just how it is?

Update:
Figured it out! It works decently well on Chrome, it seems that Firefox for Mac doesn't support h265 streaming on GeForce now which Chrome does, and it makes a massive difference.

Hey guessers!

This update post summarizes a few new things that landed in OpenGuessr this week:

• Revised onboarding (no longer as intrusive) with new OpenGuessr mascot
• Pages are now pre-rendered for faster loading
• Supporter tiers are now available in the shop as opposed to a separate popup
• Subtle UI improvements

This is how the revised onboarding prompt looks like:

Meet Guessy, the OpenGuessr mascot

New supporter section in shop:

Hey guessers!

This update should make it easier for new guessers to get into the action! It introduces a new tour that shows beginners how the main game works, and points them in the direction of some of the many ways to play.

This is what pops up for new players now.

New welcome overlay

The tour will walk them through the main mechanics of the game and present two famous locations for a smoother start.

Quick \"How to play\" section

In the end, they'll be shown different paths they can take to continue playing.

The update also includes some bug fixes with regard to cancelling the "join via link", blur inconsistencies, location loading issues and choppy mobile map animations.

Happy guessing!

Hi,

I just purchased a Superstrike 2 after using the Superlight (first-gen) for years.

Unfortunately I am getting random stuttering and connection drops, only on my M4 Macbook Pro (not on the Windows computer I tested it on where I used a USB 2 port). I tried multiple USB C to A adapters from different brands but the behavior stays the same. I also tried using a thunderbolt cable to plug in the receiver puck but I got no connection at all with that.

Sometimes it works smoothly for 2h and then the stuttering returns.

I have tested all sorts of settings in GHub, tested using the onboard storage, tried running it with GHub uninstalled, all with no luck.

Moreover I tried different USB C ports and different positions for the receiver and ensured no interfering devices are nearby.

I also reached out to the Logitech Support which was a horrible experience, they just pushed me to RMA the product that is still in the return window (why would I?) without giving me anything new to try or offering any advice.

Any ideas? Really like the mouse apart from this.

Hey,

I've recently published headless-chat , which is a TS "framework" for integrating a live chat system into your own application.

What it allows for:

• send messages, with replies and reactions
• edit or delete messages
• live typing indicators & activity updates (read/unread)
• 1:1 and group conversations with an invite system
• thorough caching, cleanup and rate limiting options
• live updates for everything, with granular control over which events to subscribe to

You bring your own database, transport layer, account system etc. and integrate it via a variety of handlers and callbacks that make it easy to wire in this system into your own backend and client. You can hook into almost everything to expand or adapt it.

Here's an example of how this can look like:

headless-chat integration example

The library is MIT licensed and the source for it can be found on GitHub:

I hope this can be useful for some :)
