Using this is causing problems with blanking of screens when logging in. Log in, close open base and the screen will blank.Also sometimes happening is a report that the graphics experience might not be optimal on my system and it is telling me to check that the video drivers are up-to-date and I'm using a compatible web browser.Leaving subs will also create a momentary blank screen on the tab I move to after closing a tab where I had been playing.Also, moving the area of focus in game by dragging the screen around can cause a momentary blank screen.The developers are aware of these issues and are investigating.

If you have issues with Low FPS - cant move bases etc after updating Chrome, try this.With chrome open, Press Shift and Escape to open the Chrome task managerhttps://pasteboard.co/HCTPA6I.pngYou will see a process called GPU Process, click on the GPU process and select End task. It will kill the proccess and relaunch a new one and the game should be back to normal.You may have to do this everytime you launch a new world until the developers identify a fix.It works for me on a Windows 10 PC, may not work for everyone.Chaos

I'm informed that the fix is within the Chrome development team - it is changed / fixed for the next roll out.

Chaosukian worked for me thank you!

In the new version of Chrome, I got rid of blanking problems by switching off hardware acceleration option in browser settings....may help for others too.

Hello Commanders,Google has started to roll out Chrome 69.0 now and unfortunately we have to inform you that we are experiencing a few technical issues with the release of that version.When loading the game and navigating the overworld, you may experience stuttering and low framerates.Usually this resolves itself shortly after joining a world, with the browser blanking out for a moment and then resuming the game.This is related to the recent changes and nothing we can address or fix right out of the gate. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The game now has memory issues, it consumes around 5.3GB out of 16GB of my RAM after the Chrome update

Totally unplayable in current condition, it's like trying to play the game in 0.7 FPS

I've noticed that when the world loads I get a black window flash for a second and then disappear now as if it's loading a base view but all black.

It seems to have got worse for me as on W48 today where I was getting a black screen when trying to move a base away from a satellite I now cannot play at all. I tried to do the F12 fix to speed up the loading and then when I went to map view after a few seconds it just went all black. I have tried clearing the cache in Chrome and still no luck.
