[Beta Channel] Google Chrome 7.0.xxx.xx (for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows)


Recommended Posts

My chrome just updated itself. Is it just me or does it really seem superfast? Something like 60x i think that was going around about a month ago?

Nah it's not just you. I hit restart once it had installed the update and it was at my homepage in a flash.

No isn't working fine. Hardware configuration and the size of your browser window plays a huge part ;)

Fullscreen window, exact same score... and its a MASSIVE difference from those scores. Those show clearly hardware accel isnt working right on your specific hardware or something.

Good call mate, trawled through my settings and corrected them...

Not working for me either.

Might be NVIDIA users need newer drivers. I'm currently on 260 beta drivers and have no hardware acceleration in Chrome.

Are you launching Chrome with "--enable-gpu-plugin --enable-gpu-rendering --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas --enable-video-layering --enable-webgl --enable-fastback" ?

*webgl should be automatic but it probably doesn't hurt to force it on anyway.

You probably didn't add the flags (like me!)

Add these flags to Chrome...

--enable-accelerated-compositing --enable-gpu-plugin --enable-gpu-rendering --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas --enable-video-layering --enable-webgl --enable-fastback

I have an Nvidia card as well and it worked for me. Just make sure you have the flags posted above in your shortcut.

Ok my Chrome (dev) is actually very strange. All the stuff that used to work on the IE test drive no longer work property. The Psychedelic Browsing used to work perfectly, but now it stays a blank page. When I try to refresh, the page crashes. The Video Kaleidoscope test runs (as in it shows the FPS tab), but the rest of the page stays black. The HTML5 Youtube videos used to work, but now they play only the sound and some don't run at all.

Yes, I do have all the flags turned on.

I got the latest driver for my Radeon 3650 HD card, but nothing's changed.

Anyone else have the same problem?

Could be that your previous update got a bit messed up, I'd save all your bookmarks etc and then reinstall Chrome.

Hope that helps..

    • Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
