Hello Pogo Daily Sudoku players,
We've seen and confirmed an issue with some players on slow machines, machines with taxed resources or with slow network connections. The issue displays as a screen overlay when quickly choosing your difficulty level (Beginner, etc) on these slower machines before the game can finish loading in the background.
Work around/fix: Reload your page and wait 5 -10 seconds to allow your game to load properly in the background.
There should be a 'background flicker' to let you know the loading has finished if you want a definitive confirmation.
Here's the way to see if your machine is struggling to load the game:
1. Load Pogo Daily Sudoku
2. Upon finishing loading difficulty selection screen, there is a brief flicker in the background
3. IF you select a difficulty level BEFORE the "flicker", you may see the overlay issue
Because this is a network/machine performance, we'll be monitoring the issue, but won't be able to resolve it for players currently. We'll update status here as they come.
Thank you Pogo Sudoku Players!
-Spike
