Warzone Game Screen just flaked out, OK now: 2024-03-24 01:41:27

So this happens sometimes, I think mostly on our PC,
(Windows 11 Home, Mozilla Firefox),

The Warzone Game Screen flaked out:
flashed, turned the map page completely black, except for the arrows of the army movements that I was working on at the time.
I was only playing a single player community level at the time, and the F5 refresh did nothing.
I reloaded the tab, and everything seems good now, but it's not the first time that this has happened, and I'm looking for a more permanent fix.

Also, about this time, my Statistics Window Graphs were including .5 increments, and the Luck Graphs were using logarithmic measurements(??)
Army Size Graph: 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5... and the Cumulative Luck Graph was using measurements like 1.43ep?

My main alternatives are to use either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome as a game browser.
I could also use the Standalone Client.

Thank you, will do.

Also, sometimes my mouse jumps around the browser screen, especially after playing for a while.
Is that a known issue, or another bug report?

What do you mean by mouse jumping around? Does it only happen on the website or does it happen on any program?

I’d guess you’re moving the mouse too fast for your device to keep up with. Would happen because of lots of system resources being used like high disk, CPU or GPU usage and maybe high memory usage as well. That could happen if you’re in a game on a big map. Other factors are Windows or any other program updating automatically in the background or possibly having lots of tabs or other programs open. Use Task Manger (a Windows program for monitoring device performance) (shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and sort by Disk, CPU and GPU usage. If any value is red or dark orange, it means it’s using a lot of resources and your device will run slower.

only seems to happen on the WZ website, but I could be mistaken, as I don't do a lot of web surfing.

Thank you again, Dan.
Very much appreciated.
It seems to be a decent system, though I don't have the specs offhand.
It'd be surprising that I could actually move too fast for a decent system with minimal running in the background.
(At the time, it was a smaller map on a community level.)

I'll look up the stats when I get some time. :)

Yeah WZ sometimes does weird things when showing games.
E.g. go all black and only show the bonus links or the map zooms out so far its no longer visible.
All can be fixed with reloading, but its odd it just happens sometimes.

I've had that on both Chrome and Firefox, and on crappy laptops and high end PCs, so I dont think this is a browser/hardware issue but more a WZ rendering issue.

That makes sense, and thank you for confirming my past experience, as it has definitely been a while.

Dan did advise that part was worth reporting, though given our mutual experience, it might just be a known bug.
(don't wager *all* my coin on a RT small earth tourney... though my brain flakes more than our PC, lol)

I’ve had black screen before when trying to open a game before and refresh fixed it. Thought it was just me.

I'm reasonably certain that my own experience required that I load a new tab, and also that's how it's been for me in the past.
(A simple F5 maneuver didn't seem to work)
