I use codecombat on a wide variety of low end computers due to my job. Some can barely run it (our very very low end Chromebooks), and others do better (my cheap laptop) I have noticed that from time to time when I am loading levels, or worse, when I change heroes while in a level, the available items don’t always load their icons. They are still selectable, the icons just don’t show up.
This example is from the cheap laptop, which is:
Windows 8.1 (It burns!)
i5-3337u @ 1.8 GHz
6GB RAM
64 bit system
Onboard terrible Intel HD Graphics 4000 adapter
Does the item icon eventually show up if you scroll the item list and wait? I know there is a bug where the icon won’t show up if you buy an item until you equip or unequip some other item, but this sounds like another problem.
I tried to reproduce the bug again by trying to change heros in the middle of a level (that often gets me buggy) and I got this:
I can’t scroll or click any items, I can however close the frame and go back to the level. Willing to remote host if you want to try…
Do you ever see the problem on a faster computer? (I’m wondering if it has to do with the lower performance machines triggering race conditions in our code…)
lol… I don’t have access to a “faster” computer. It seems to be less prevalent the better the computer is running, but that is a personal observation, not data.
I get that same view (items but invisible hero). It seems to happen when I click to quickly on “next” to get to the screen above. After clicking “Change Hero”, If I wait for the hero to load and start “acting out” before I click “next” I don’t seem to get the invisible hero.
–Edit–
Actually, I am having trouble getting this to happen today. (worked a day or to ago.)
before I click “next” I don’t seem to get the invisible hero.
