HawkMan Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 So setting up and playing around with my new i5 Lenovo miix 2 tablet today I decide to try the touch version of chrome since its the only other modern/touch browser around yet? And it appears to be completely broken. Is chrome modern currently broken or is there something else that causes this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zlip792 MVC Posted June 7, 2014 MVC Share Posted June 7, 2014 Which Chrome version you are using? Stable, Beta or Dev or 32-bit or 64-bit on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1? Video card driver? Any extra flags enabled from about:flags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Fahim S. MVC Posted June 7, 2014 MVC Share Posted June 7, 2014 The 'modern' version of Chrome isn't really a touch browser. However, mine does render normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted June 7, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted June 7, 2014 Chrome is currently fine when using the Metro version - for me at least. Sorry all I can suggest is a reinstall to see if that fixes those graphical issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular 42bit one downloaded from the chrome page, no beta or such. and latest intel driver from windows update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Intel just recently updated their drivers, so I suggest you to try them rather from windows update. Also look into about:gpu whether if some hardware acceleration disabled or not.

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted June 7, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted June 7, 2014 That looks like graphic card problem/rendering problem not actual Chrome itself. You might wanna head over to amd.com or nvidia.com and update first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime Google manually put users in field trails and enable selective flags, I suggest go into about:flags and restart to default as well. Might be this could fix something.

HawkMan Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I tried the beta version as well same problem. Canary doesn't do modern/immersive it seems I wonder why google and FF complain so much about not being allowed to do RT browsers when they apparently don't care at all. I don't suppose anyone forked the FF modern/touch build into one of the other alternative FF builds ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, nobody forked FF modern build, although some old build might be available in tinderbox builds although I will not recommend it using. I think more like this issue is related to some field trail test nuking your immersive mode or Intel graphic driver messing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
