Screen goes white at random times

Hi hi :D
I rarely post a help topic soo…

Yes, before you say anything i hAVE SeARcHEd bEfORe POsTiNg and haven’t found anything that solves my problem.

Okay so, when I was working on a map, I was minding my business working on barrier art, then my screen goes white. Then I have to refresh it.

Is it my computer (it’s my HOME computer not school) or gimkit?

Does it keep doing this or one time thing?

It keeps on doing it. Like every 20 minutes (yes i timed it)

It did it on my chaotic map and on a map with like 3 barriers and one custom shape.

It could be a computer problem, have you had any other problems similar to this in the past?

Try restarting your computer or clearing cookies. If none of that works, email hellogimkit@gmail.com

Also, is your memory fine? Because if your map memory is too crazy that could be the problem too…

I tried restarting, but I’ll try checking if I have any cookies.

The only thing i have in the map are

I’ll be back after checking cookies.

it’s probably not a computer problem, this used to happen to my sister all the time, I don’t know if it happens anymore, she doesn’t play gimkit that much. I don’t know how to solve it sorry :<

Oh darn, I thought it would atleast show you gim but nope, it consumed the entire thing. I don’t know what else to tell you. This might be a website problem.

A white screen in Gimkit is often caused by a temporary bug, network issues, or problems with your device. The issue can occur when switching browser tabs or if too much is happening on the screen at once.

If the problem persists, try these steps:

  • Ensure WebGL is enabled. Gimkit’s 2D game modes require WebGL to run. Check that your browser supports and has it enabled by visiting gimkit.com/check.
  • Update your browser. Make sure you are using the latest version of your browser. Gimkit recommends using a recent, updated version of Chrome.
  • Verify your internet connection. A slow or congested network can cause packet loss and graphical issues in Gimkit. If you are on a school network, try using a cellular connection to rule out network congestion.
  • Contact Gimkit support. If nothing else works, email Gimkit’s support team at hello@gimkit.com with details about the bug, including what device you are using.
