Canasta glitch

Why is it every time Im on a roll and winning games, all of a sudden the draw pile freezes and won’t let me draw a card? This causes timer to expire and I lose the game.

    Hello and congratulations on your winning streak 🏆🎈

    This usually happens when the browser has been running for a while or has built up too much temporary data, which can cause certain buttons or animations to stop working.

    Since Pogo is a browser-based gaming site that runs directly in our browser, a few normal things can slow the game down:

    • Temporary files piling up: Cookies, cached images, and stored data accumulate over time. When the browser has to sift through a bloated cache, performance drops.
    • Low on memory: Modern browsers consume RAM. If you’ve had the browser open for a long time or you’re running memory‑heavy sites, Pogo may struggle to get the resources it needs.
    • Too many tabs or programs open: Every tab open is running and using resources and your system can bottleneck.
    • Small internet hiccups: Even a tiny, momentary dip in connection quality can cause lag or delays in browser games. It doesn’t have to be a full outage, just a brief instability.

     

    We can improve performance with some troubleshooting steps:

    • Clear browser cache and cookies
    • Close unused tabs and background apps
    • Restart the modem/router helps reset the device’s hardware and clears out any lingering glitches.
    • Make sure the browser and device is updated (updates can come in at any time and often)
    • Restarting your device forces the system to rebuild cleanly. 

       

    Give the steps and try and I am confident you will get back to your winning streak! Take Care 🐈‍⬛
