    Invisible Storehouses

    After updating my video drivers (hoped to fix frequent server dropout problem - but didn't) my storehouses (and maybe others I'm not sure) are invisible. When I mouse over their location they are there ok - just can't see them......

    Probably just a cache problem. Trying clearing it and see if it helps.

    or try different browser, they all use flash differently.

    Question

    I realise this is a really old thread but this is exactly the issue I'm having.
    Surely someone else is having this?

    I've tried Firefox and Chrome on Windows and Firefox on 3 different linux computers but the same happens on all of them. I even tried creating a new profile to make sure it wasn't a cache issue.
    When I clear the cache (Ctrl-F5 or new profile) I see the storehouses until I scroll to a different part of the map. When I click and drag the map as soon as the storehouse goes out of view it disapears.

    Any ideas?

    If you have the resources, try upgrading it... lvl 2 is a different image so maybe more visible.

    Which browser are you using anyway? Ctrl-F5 would only hard refresh in Gecko browsers (Moz/Firefox/IceDragon etc) and might not affect the flash cache.

    Try Ctrl-Shift-Del in Chromium browser (Chrome/Opera/Dragon etc) and clear Hosted App Data along with cache. Also try right clicking inside Flash and tweaking the settings to use zero local storage (3rd tab, looks like a folder). Do a quicky refresh and see if that helps.


    Searching 'Linux Flash render problems' does not seem to yield much that is recent... most responses just seem to steer down the 'make sure you have the most recent flash distro' route

    Increasing the amount of local storage (cache) that flash is allowed to use should prevent buildings from disappearing.

    Thumbs down Still no luck

    Thanks for the suggestions guys but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
    @Tripi I have a mixture of different level storehouses (1.2 &3) and they all disappear.
    I also tried changing the flash cache settings to not allow storage, it kept popping up a request to store stuff and I clicked deny. Didn't make any difference, the storehouse still vanish when I drag the map to the right.
    @MOD_Daz I tried increasing the storage to unlimited and in the global settings deleting the current files, but that made no difference either.

    I have the latest flash for linux, and pretty sure latest chrome version in windows.

    As I said before I tried a fresh firefox profile so that would have had no stored cache/settings.

    This is just really bizarre. It's not really a big deal, just a bit annoying. I'm surprised that noone else seems to be experiencing it.

    normal stores dissappear

    something seems wrong with one of my sections, I can roam all over my island, and everything is fine, yet as soon as I expose section 3, where I have my watermills, all the normal store houses on my island go invisible, and I cannot even place another anywhere to build one while they are invisible, could there be a bug in one of my watermills or island, causing this ? could BB check these ?

    obviously with so many different players having same problems, on different computers, it could not possibly a coincidence that all have the same problem at the same time on different equipment.


    OK, just bought brand new comp, everything is up to date (updates) first place I went to on computer was TSO my island, (so I had absolutely nothing else in cache) and still the regular stores STILL disappear when moving the island towards the right.
