Hello MakeCode Arcade Wizards,

I run a MakeCode Arcade class and a fellow teacher reported she could not load the game preview in her class last week. We all logged into our devices to see the issue had seemingly gone until I stumbled upon it the next day in class.

I got 9 students, all running MakeCode Arcade via Safari using the same models of iPads yet 2 students were completely unable to load their game preview window, whether working on their own project or opening other MakeCode Arcade games on the site. Student number 3 started coding and midway through class his entire preview also seemed to stop loading all of a sudden. Logging out and in again or force quit and relaunch of the browser did not change a thing. Game preview working on all other iPads.

I include photos for reference.

Is there any remedy to this conundrum?

All of the tabs on my computer act like that sometimes. Maybe hard reset the iPad?
