I've been opening tanki with iOS devices on safari for years now, lol

[HK126-GS 4]

Favorite game of my childhood... I switched from Android to iOS operating system a few years ago and one of the points that upset me the most was that Tanki Online did not support iOS and today I happened to browse your website and saw that it was in the testing phase for iOS and I was very happy. I did not encounter the slightest problem with the game interface on my iPhone 11 device with iOS 17.1.1, but I could not manage to enter the game. It kept giving the services error. I think this is due to the density and the website. I'm sure there will be no problem when we download it from the app store. Hoping to download it as soon as possible, please do not keep us waiting too long

I just tried playing with an iPhone 14 PRO and 12 PRO
Overall the gameplay was smooth, no lags or bugs.

Issues I found ;-
1) No option to have auto supplies, we have to manually drag them using a bar.
2) In horizontal screen the option to join a death match in PRO battles is absent even turning it vertical does not help.
3) On the containers section I could not find the <<OPEN>> under containers in horizontal mode, when I turn the phone vertical to open them, it gives me an error.
4) No option to put on full screen, I had the safari bar on top that reduced the gaming area.

But, the quality of gameplay was top tier.
Huge W to the developers on making it compatible for IOS.

UPDATED REPORT SIR 

 

So I played this on an iPhone 7 plus ,13 pro max and a 14 pro max and needless to say it worked great even though the iPhone 7 plus is running on ios 15.8.1 with exactly 3 gigs of ram and I am surprised that an iPhone that came out 8 years ago can still run this and I will respond again after I test it on an iPhone 6s plus.

 

Now some of issues are :

1.Accidentally rotating your screen and rotating it back can make the view look really wide.

2.Rarely having lag spikes but it can ruin the fun.

3.The container screen is all messed up.

4.When a new item is added to the garage it doesn’t show what or where the item is.

5.The play button sometimes glitches out and you wont be able to select any gamemodes.

6.Some of the buttons are buggy or really sensitive to touch that its almost impossible to use it.

7.The new HD maps sometimes can make issues while loading but once you get in the battle its just as any normal battle.

8.The newer iPhones have notches that can block some of the buttons and changing the place of them can make it come close to the center of the screen since the iPhone 13 mini is quite small.

9.The battles in MAXIMUM and HIGH graphics does seem to crash frequently even with the iPhone 14 pro max.

10.Clicking the settings icon in battle frequently makes the game crash even in the lowest graphic setting.

11.When you double tap and hold the screen it shows a small area magnified.

Note:

Every issue I stated still persists even in the minimum graphics and I tested it on the iPhone 6s plus, iPhone 7 plus, iPhone 13 pro max, iPhone 14 pro max also this might be happening because its on safari and not downloaded from the app store which can cause the phone to think that its just a normal safari page leading it to act like one and even the little magnifier pops up when you double tap and hold

Also thanks for giving us ios users a chance

 

iPhone 6s plus UPDATES 

So on the iPhone 6s plus you can actually play the game smoothly on the LOW graphics .But you do need your battery above 30 and long periods of playing makes the phone gets really hot 
 

Heres some info on how to run it:

1.Needs ios 15.

2.Needs 2 gigs of ram completely free.

3.Sometimes cant do damage if your able to get into battle so rejoin back or wait for another match.

4.Make sure low power mode is off.

5.Make sure all graphics setting is turned off or on the lowest.

6.The phone gets really hot and can cause potential burn and hardware damage so make sure you take breaks.

8.Make sure there is no other apps open in the background.

9.This will allow the iPhone 6s plus run Tanki.

 

Possible Fixes for the future of ios Tanki:

1.Making the battle timer a bit bigger so that its easier to check stats or giving stats an independent button.

2.Moving the messages and buttons away from the area of the notch.

 

Things that might resolve itself on the App Store:

1.The screen always turning off 

2.The magnified part that sometimes pop up.

3.Connectivity to the Tanki servers.

 

Recommendations:

1.I recommend using MEDIUM graphics settings on older iPhones since you can barely see the difference.

@PopSmoke you can remove the search bar if you click the bottom middle button and there should be an option to add it to your home screen.After that you can just open it from your home screen without the the bars also make sure you do this in the page you play the game on

Send a reply message if this helped out fellow tanker 

Hope you the best in the battles to come

iPhone12 IOS16.0.2(20A380)

Here are several problems:

1. There is no sound in the browser, I'm pretty sure there is no conflicts in the app, and the speaker is working.

2. Didn't find icon for leaderboard and mines. Also the control for turret with multi-aim system is hard to switch, like gauss and shaft.

3. Gauss has a serious problem that keep relocking the same opponent over and over again even if there is no obstacle, which is even more obvious in html5 version. I find it's easier to lock in earlier mobile version.

If anyone got a volume issue try checking if your iPhone is on silent since most games mute their volume when its on silent mode.

Hope yall have a good day

There are no buttons to check Gear Scores and other info about players 

Tap the battle timer on the top.

I recommend the devs to add a tip for this, as it's not obvious.

Do you have sound enabled in TO settings?

It's fully enabled in TO settings as well as phone, it still does not work.

[Incorp 2,084]

One problem is when i try to sign in, the screen keeps maximising or minimising when i tap the password fill-in space. I have no idea how i eventually signed in xD.

I have the exact opposite problem, there is no obvious sound button on the UI. if the settings is the only place to turn sound on/off, I suggest adding a button for that purpose in the screen, around the same place as the sign out button.

@Incorp 

The sound issue might be because your phone is on silent 

[SulfuricAcid 504]

great job for starting on  IOS new players,

[Mr.Kwak 1]

@PopSmoke consider going into your Apple device settings, under the “Safari” tab, scroll down and select “single tab”, turn off “landscape tab bar”, and turn on “request desktop site”. Hope this helps

Thanks a lot, I just learned how to put it on full landscape.

I have been playing for almost 1 week now, and here are some things I want to suggest.

1) Make the supply system similar to android (autosupplies) because we have keep pressing supplies which makes it harder to do other things.
2) Maybe a small phone or desktop icon next to the player tab. This can show wether a player is using a laptop or mobile while playing.
3) Easier way to check the Tab and see the protections. Because the current option makes it hard as we have to simulataneoulsy hold 2 parts of screen.
4) Long healthbar under the tank area with the ammo reload icons.

Also for the past 2-3 days I have been getting atleast 2 or 3 errors while entering a battle.

iPhone 11  Pro, iOS Version 17.2.1 Playing on max graphics, the game is smooth, gets warm pretty fast, takes about 10-12% battery in 1 MM battle (1%/1 minute) Remastered maps also working well, the graphics are detailed and sharp. Sometimes game crashes mid-battle. Entering garage mid-battle sometimes causes crash. Sometimes crashes when entering battle. No audio at all in private browsing. Well done overall!

Already planned 

[Alaa-1409 1]

Ok it's a huge step forward and I appreciate it

There are some problems "it's normal to face problems at the beginnings"

1- I tried to connect mouse to my iPad device "which has a keyboard" to make the gameplay look like the PCs but sadly it didn't work

2- Some problems with keyboard controls 

The 2nd  problem maybe from my device so I'll check it and I'll let you know about

Love you Tanki and keep going

Update: iPhone 11 Pro, iOS Version 17.2.1 after Patch Update #755 - Released 7th Match 2024, the screen got messed. Garage screen, is not aligned properly anymore, I get more crashes in general and Ping and FPS is not stable (lots of moments where it jumps and drops). The phone got warm quickly while I was playing with low graphics.
