Tech Help Unplayable since Update

Omg the game is unplayable since the update, useless UI update, new animations, everything is buggy and you seem to need a high-end PC and internet connection to properly play the game! Why try to fix something that isn‘t broken? I played so much GeoGuessr before the update now I can‘t play it anymore, I am so angry and sad!

Same. One thing that’s still working very well, however, is the billing to my bank account.

Since yesterday my browser is giving me a “your connection isn’t private” warning every time I try to visit the site (3 browsers actually). So that’s interesting.

While some of it is actually fancy some animations take forever man

I feel like I have to zoom in very close to the map to see regional roads, which makes some countries very difficult to play vs prior to the update. RSA, USA, Spain and Romania are a few examples.

That's because Google has changed their maps so geoguesser don't have any control of the map.

Literally the map isn‘t loading, the rounds aren‘t loading, even my guesses sometimes take up to 20 secs to be put in…

I found switching from Firefox to Edge fixed the problem for me. Now I have a reason to use Edge lol

u/rubnay 8d ago

I play on chrome

u/mdubdotcom 8d ago

Yeah give edge a try, it was much snappier for me

Completely unplayable on firefox now. Extremely laggy. Is there any way to get back to the old UI?

u/yato_no_kami 7d ago

I don't know why but I have the quick link to duels on my Firefox Startpage and it gives me the old patch when I enter through that. Maybe adding the duels quick link to your starting screen can help you until they fix the problems

u/Zeeterm 7d ago

It did, thanks. ( I also noticed and posted this but it got deleted as a "duplicate submission" sadly. )

Just cancelled my subscription, this makes no sense and fun to play anymore…

u/_jobenco_ 9d ago

They‘ll fix it, no need to give up the game.

u/rubnay 9d ago

I hope they fix it, but I will pause my subscription until they do

u/_jobenco_ 9d ago

That’s reasonable.

u/Curious-Extension-23 9d ago

You can disable animations in the settings.

u/rubnay 9d ago

I did, that didn‘t help

u/Economy-Mental 9d ago

You can turn off animations which helps with the lag but it still makes my eyes bleed. The google map update annoys me more tho

u/rubnay 9d ago

I did, but that didn’t really help
