    Youtube video issues and Flash game freezing

    Timmeh77 Community Member

      Upon automatically downloading 11.3 again (despite downgrading to fix it for one startup) an issue has resurfaced for Youtube videos and Flash games.

       

      While watching videos on Youtube, the time bar at the bottom jitters and splits. If there is an advertisement, the Skip Ad text and window split apart, shaking.

       

      While there is no lag in the normal size nor widescreen, fullscreen has severe lag and is not watchable. This applies for all qualitiies, 240p to 1080p. Until the 11.3 update I had no issues whatsoever watching fullscreen videos at 1080

       

      Finally, Flash games have a tendancy to lose progress and freeze. For example, a puzzle game may have a menu listing each level. Upon beating the first level, one returns to the level screen to choose the next - either the game freezes here or the next level is not available. This is not a game-specific bug, it seems to be an issue updating previous sections of the Flash code. Upon reloading the games, the progress is lost and one must start over, as if that first level had not even been touched.

       

      I'm running Chrome on Windows XP.

      Finally, somewhat irrelevent, this text window seems to have a tendency to force the text cursor up two lines and add additional lines at the bottom, causing me to type on a previous line spontaneously and force the window to scroll for the newly created lines, as if Enter had been pressed several times.

       

      Additional info - This occurs in 11.4 as well.
