Chat Icons Not Showing and Chrome Crashes / Snaps

Which version of Chrome?

Version 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (32-bit)

You say you've tried the obvious fixes, but don't list them so I need to ask, which ones?

For example, have you tried the game without scripts as they are often the culprit after an update or patch?

Clearing cache, history and cookies sound like obvious fixes to try, so I'll assume that those were included already.

Have you tried a different browser?

You are right @gamerdruid , apologies, i have tried the following:
Disabled all scripts / add ons
Cleared cache etc...
I only use Chrome, don't like the other browsers and my game went snap again at 15:55 today (09/11/19) with no other tabs open.



and it has just went snap again at 16:18 (09/11/19)

As a test it is sometimes worth trying other browsers. It can highlight whether the issue is local or global. As we're not getting a massive bombardment of complaints from others, I can only surmise that it is either local to your machine, or 'local' to your account. Trying a different browser such as Firefox can narrow down the issue.

Have tried Firefox for a few hours now, and no game crashes, but the global chat icon and whisper chat icon is still not appearing. Can't use google translate extension if Firefox :(

@gamerdruid @EE_Elephterion , this is getting silly the amount of crashes on Chrome. It has crashed 5/6 times for me tonight whilst attacking. Other player in my alliance is saying the same thing also.

It's either a script or something locally. A common script would be my guess or a specific addon to chrome, one that a number in your alliance use.

It could be an 'ad blocker' of some kind, or other protection that is used in common with others.

Which world is this you're talking about?

In the latest version of Chrome, there is a new feature for saving system resources. In some cases, it causes white screen instead showing a webpage (WSOD).
Before getting mad, try to switch off the hardware acceleration in your browser and close all the open instances once before you try it again.
Of course, CPU usage will be higher a bit, but it will not cause problem in an average PC even if you handle subbed accs in other tabs. If you have enough memory in the machine, you'll have no problem since the tabs not in focus will not use so much CPU.
Also reset zoom to 100% and any of resized components to have the page objects appeared normally.

@BambiByte thanks for the information, however i have also tried that, but thanks again. I am not getting mad, just a bit frustrated. @gamerdruid it happens in Tib 30 not sure of any scripts they use. I have no scripts running and no adblocker. I am puzzled as much as you are. It never used to be an issue. I have always used the same protection, nothing is new. Thanks
