      Hi,
      Recently my screen is completely black when using weather radar and satellite, it only shows the blue 'ping' to indicate my location.
      It started doing this a month or so back and the only way I could get it to show the map was to switch off "particles animation" but now it is doing it all the time and i am unable to see weather radar or satellite.
      I live in Broome West Oz (up in the Tropics) and use Windy many times a day to check the weather situation in the surrounding region
      Hoping you have some idea what is going wrong - I don't believe that i have changed anything on my computer that would affect it
      Cheers

        @lozwestoz Hello, what version of OS and Windy do you have? Is there any error in the Error console?

          Hi @korina
          Sorry, just saw your response, I am using version 36.0.0

            @lozwestoz Hello, have you please tried updating to the newest browser version? I can also recommend to turn on the "graphic compatibility mode" in Settings.

              @korina Hi there, I have the latest version of Firefox as my own browser.
              I have upgraded to Windy Premium and it is showing that my version of Windy was last updated 10 days ago.
              I have already turned on"graphic compatibility mode'
              Is there a more recent version and if so, how do i go about updating (I haven't noticed any method of manually updating as yet)

                Hi again,
                Not sure whether tit was the upgrade to Premium or what but about 1 hour ago, my screen suddenly changed and the colour returned - no more black screen!.
                Hoping that the issue does not repeat
                Thanks for your involvement and assistance
                have a great weekend
