What is this report about?
BGA website
What happened? Please select from below
Something didn't function correctly while using the website (not during a game)
Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
N/a• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
On any game I am playing on BGA, the display is out of sync. Until yesterday, all games displayed with player scores next to each other, now they appear beneath each other. I think this is throwing the graphics out of sync in the actual games. Screenshots below show examples. This was not a problem until today, and I have not changed settings on my phone.• Which browser are you using?
Google Chrome v128

I'm experiencing the same. The only way some games are playable on mobile is to rotate to landscape view.

Also experiencing the same since new chrome update. I opened a bug 2 days ago about it.

I have the same problem since yesterday night on my mobile phone. It makes almost impossible to play some games like Puerto Rico, Sea Salt & Paper, Heat, Lucky Numbers or Hanamikoji.

Experiencing the same as of a few days ago. Found this report while trying to Google solutions-- have not found one.
I strictly play through mobile so this is a big problem if not resolved :(

On my Android device, my screen is out of synch for tables of Sennet, Carcassonne, Sea, Salt& Paper. Changing my display settings does not resolve the issue. Started on 8/23/24.

Same problem on my smartphone. I have to play on my tablet or put the option "desktop version"

It's the chrome update, uninstalled Chrome back to original and it works ok on Android although you get an annoying message to update

Hello. This appears for me since this afteroon. It is mostly visible for lucky numbers. I'm playing on a Android Phone, chrome.

For me too. On more games. Somethings has changed and nor for the good benefit of the phone view.

The problem is with Android Chrome 128 update. Hope it has an easy fix...

Same issue here where I've seen the visuals out of whack for most games. I've resolved this on mobile by turning on desktop site but this obviously makes it hard to navigate otherwise. Also on chrome v128.

Hry se na displeji mobilu android nezobrazují správně. Nelze posunout obrazovku. Při zvětšení vidím pouze levou polovinu displeje, pravá část je překrytá. Objevuje se posledních několik dní u všech her.

as MrXuma already said, the issue seems to be tied to an update for Chrome v128. It is most noticable on Android / other mobile devices, but you can see all these issues on Desktop, as well. Just launch Chrome v128 on any device and resize the window to a more narrow viewport. I described my findings in more detail in a similar bug report:

The TL;DR is that Chrome has an "origin trial" that lets you revert the breaking change for just certain websites, but I believe the BGA dev-team needs to opt-in to this trial at the platform-level:

I do NOT have an up to date Chrome browser but as of a few hours ago all of my tables are viewing differently. It is like the site is forcing me to desktop view. I am seeing the game progress bar at the top of the page that I have never seen before and everything is much smaller. Some games are still playable although not as nice, and some are unplayable because of this.

Using the Android app, text in game appears smaller. Al.ost as of the resolution was increased (but no settings have been chanced).
Below is a screenshot of both the general game screen as well as the text chat. Harder to read the last few days and I'm not sure why.

I have these same issues using Safari on iOS (so not Chrome). As far as I know Safari is not chromium-based either?

Some games have gotten better now and other games have become unplayable. Martian dice is one example, the tiles are mixed up and some are even off screen so you cannot even see what tiles are actually present.

this issue was related to a chrome update and was fixed in the last days.
don't hesitate to raise a new report if this happens again for all games.

This is nor fixed. My game of Next Station: London has never looked worse! Something else is wrong here

Things are getting worse. Definitely not fixed!
Sep 6th 2024 18:59 • KiaKatt • Bug has been fixed:
This particular issue did not seem to be chrome related (unless both firefox and safari use chrome under the hood) but it does appear to be fixed nonetheless as of today.

I still have issues as well. Screenshots linked.
T'zolkin - table #559309143 - when I click on the spot to place the worker, it registers the move but the worker freezes in mid-air. The workers only move to the correct place when I refresh the screen. Also, the zoom toggle no longer appears.
Akropolis - various tables - still glitchy. It's better than it was, but not completely fixed. Also, at table #560033142, one of the tiles was showing in the wrong colour! It showed as purple rather than red, which caused my confusion as my score lowered when I surrounded the piece. It was only when I refreshed the screen that it became clear why my score had gone down! It's down in the bottom right, but now shows correctly.
