The newest Google Chrome Broke Phaser in Windows 7

Phaser 3
1

Hi all, Happy New Year!

I think this is kind of important…

The latest Google Chrome seams to have done something terrible to Phaser.

[https://phaser.io/examples/v3/view/animation/cubes]

Just look at this Phaser example animation. Run it in Chrome (Version 79.0.3945.88, released Dec 17, 2019), then run it in Firefox or another browser.

Make sure to CLOSE the one running in Chrome when you go test in another browser, because whatever mischief Chrome is doing seams to drag the whole system when a Phaser file is running.

Anyone have a guess as to what’s going on?

Thanks, all.

I’m on that very version of Chrome, in the process of shutting down (50 bazillion windows and tabs) in hope My Awesome Game runs correctly on restart.

That said, the linked example is running fine here. IDK!

[Later that same day, rebooted, seems fine]

Thanks for posting! I have isolated this to a problem with computers running Windows 7. :confused:

FWIW also running Win7 and my problem went away when I fixed my bug

This is kind of important: Windows 7 reaches end of life next week.

Whether or not you are able to address the bug that kills your performance, you’re in for a world of trouble down the road if you continue to use an operating system that won’t get regular (or any!!) security updates. Not saying you should upgrade to Windows 10, but at least migrate to an OS that won’t make you a big target for hackers, viruses, and botnets.

From the horse’s mouth:

I can’t speak for the phaser devs but I suspect supporting dead operating systems is very low priority, if it’s even on their radar at all.
