How to fix Pixelated Chatroom Screen on Google Chrome

[Carlos M. 230]

Google Chrome recently made some updates that might be causing a pixelated chatroom screen specifically at the lower part of the screen in chatroom. Follow steps below to correct the problem by Turning off Hardware Acceleration Mode on Google Chrome:

1. Launch Chrome, then select “Menu”  > “Settings“.

2. Scroll down to the bottom and select the “Advanced” option.

3. Scroll to the “System” section and toggle “Use hardware acceleration when available” off.

Make sure to restart the browser before entering chatroom.

I'm using chrome with hardware accel off and I don't see any difference using it.  It's my main browser.

Just joined BBT. The chat stream video lags a lot but not the audio. Is this expected even turning off the acceleration? Or is my computer not powerful enough,

If you followed the 3 steps above, try this:

Clear your browser caché, 

Open command prompt as Admin and type: ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter

 

Then type netsh winsock reset and hit enter

 

Then restart your computer.

Hopefully this will solve your browser issues.
