Fixed on Beta: HTML5 on Chrome: crash, "oops, Web-GL was blocked"

[Andi47]

From time to time (I did not find out yet what specific action causes this), the game crashes, and the browser says "oops, web-GL was blocked".

Web-GL blocked? What is this? Is this something what I can change in my browser settings? If yes, how?

1.120.d5fbae73e0 (09.02.2018 8:25), Andi47 (73349), zz1, en_US, WEB 6,5,0,0, Windows 10, Chrome/63.0.3239.132, 1920x949, OpenGL Vendor=WebKit Version=WebGL 2.0 (OpenGL ES 3.0 Chromium) Renderer=WebKit WebGL GLSL=WebGL GLSL ES 3.00 (OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.0 Chromium) (512 MB VRAM)

Has anyone else experienced this or noticed anything that leads to it?

 

[Andi47]

Seems I found out what happens here: Seemingly it is the symptom of "memory leak causes memory to overflow"

And there is more than one memory leak in the game!! I managed to crash the game quite a few times by just playing (doing GE battles or negotiations, collecting and restarting productions, going to the tech tree, etc....)

So you actually got to the point where the game crashed? Was this in HTML5?
I reproduced a memory leak in HTML5 with Aid and tavern visits, but I did not get to the point the game actually locked up or crashed, just excessive memory use.

 

[Andi47]

Yes it was HTML5. I had it one or two times that I observed increased activity of the hard disc (memory swapping?), while the memory use was around 3.5 Gigabytes - short time later it crashed with the "oops" message.

I guess that there is more than one memory leak in the HTML version.

 

[Andi47]

Please check the battles (Campaign map and GE) an switching to campaign- and GE maps and back to city for memory leaks - it seams that these crashes have a significantly higher probability to occur when doing several battles (not fully-automatic, but with loading the battlefield for at least keeping the "real" unit behind before clicking the automatic button) in a row.

And yes, I just had a crash after:
1.) being in the game for just some time, and then, when my DC started, doing:
2.) switching to campaign map
3.) switching between explored provinces to choose which one to conquer
4.) doing one battle (fully manually) for the DC
5.) switched to city, restarted a few military buildings
6.) went to GE map, did a few battles
7.) back to city, collected reward of recurring quest, bought 5 FP for next quest and collected reward
8.) back to GE, clicked on next encounter
--> CRASH, "ooops"-message in the browser

Memory leaks are a bit out of the scope of this report, but I will look into it.
Let me restate that, I mean that I am not convinced the OP is actually caused by memory leaks at this point

 

[DeletedUser]

Andi, are you able to get a screenie of the dev console when this happens? The WebGL part I mean.

 

[Andi47]

Dev console? What's this?

 

[RedRed]

Dev console? What's this?

CTRL+SHIFT+I or go under three dot menu > more tools > developer tools

 

[Andi47]

CTRL+SHIFT+I or go under three dot menu > more tools > developer tools

Thx, I will post a screenshot when I encounter this one next time. Should be not more than one or two days

 

[Andi47]

 

[Andi47]

another one (sorry, the last one was cut - I now increased the window size before taking the screenshot)

Spoiler

edit: and for comparison a screenshot just after reloading and restarting a military building (FoE was working without a problem at this moment):

what is important is the console tab in inspector... that show errors and warnings

I see on your screenshot that u have 1 error (and more than 100 warnings :s)

CTRL+SHIFT+I or go under three dot menu > more tools > developer tools

or right mouse clic -> inspector

Thanks, I will post this when I have the next crash.

Thanks Andi Can you tell me if the Hardware Acceleration in your browser is on or off?

it is on.

just FYI: why not use F12 to get the dev console displayed? much faster and easier method (plus its the same key on pretty much every common browser to get the dev stuff displayed)
