Wind Animations

[kubapelc]

Hello!

Thank you for reporting this issue! Our current guess is that this only occurs on the PowerVR GPUs in your specific phone models. We're sourcing a comparable phone for debugging now, as the issue does not show up on any of our current testing phones.

Thanks for the update! Good to know you're on it. I'll try to give a more precise description of what exactly I'm seeing: the particle animation shows a wind field that:

• depends on the zoom scale,
• is nearly (but not exactly) the same across the globe,
• is most often near zero, but sometimes strong,
• has a southerly bias (the stronger, the more southerly), and
• at medium strength shows a zig zag pattern.

Looks to me (computer guy myself) like misaligned floats.

@QLB I've just been able to downgrade Windy on my phone to a previous working version, 48.1.2, through apkmirror.com (or you can use apkpure.com). The process is a bit involved - you need to download their installer app, and click your way through multiple ads - but it works.

@Junior-Pioquinto Hello, yes, this device still has the same type of GPU, where the issue was found. Our colleagues are already aware of this and working on the solution.

@Veracis said in Wind Animations:

Particles now randomly crossing screen: generally upward motion: bears no relation to pressure isolines. Unusable.

Hello, we've found a fix, it'll go live in the next major version (50). I'll post here again once the fix is live.

This is what I am seeing!

[Suty]

@D.R.G Hello, can you please provide more details about the issue? Do you see this behavior also when you are in the lower zoom levels?

@kubapelc do you know when it will be available? I have this issue on my phone but also on my tablet Lenovo. I'm currently sailing and windy is very important therefore and i have no way to have it correctly!
Thank you

@kubapelc
Hello
I still have the same issue it is not resolved.

[sove75]

Hello. I just installed the last update and I still have the same problem.

[Suty]

@sove75 Yes, unfortunately, this fix was not complete until this version, which is already released. However v50 is the one, which will contain the bugfix.

Hello
I have just updated to version 49.1.1 on android and the problem is still there - random behavior of particles

@ppenven
Have you read the post just above yours?

[Synthya]

@Suty,

Have you an estimated timeline as to when V.50 (the fixed version) might be released?

Thank You to all that help make the app fully functional!
