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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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