Wind Animations

Me too have the same issue from 2/3 days with my oppo54s

@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

[idefix37]

@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!

wgats going on with the site for 4 days now will not load i have 3 computers will not load on any of them is this what i pay for

[Suty]

@Synthya I think a week or two for mobile versions.

@bisket Can you please elaborate a bit about the issue, you have?

[kubapelc]

Hello, version 50 has just released for the web. It should fix these particle issues.

Note that the mobile apps are still on version 49, they will be updated in the near future. You can use the new version of windy.com on your phones using a web browser (Chrome/Firefox, etc.).

Please let us know if you see broken particles animation on the new version. It works on the devices we have for testing, but since it was caused by a driver bug, it is always possible that some combination of hardware+software still has the issue.

@kubapelc,

Respectfully,

The web version wind animations now seem to display properly, but the overall experience is degraded vs the latest phone app version.

Since I'm using the free version, I shouldn't be complaining, right?

But, some premium users have been & are also complaining about this bug.

This has remained an ongoing issue, & although a fix has been deployed via v.50 for the web, the phone app version remains broken, & this now well beyond the original "couple of weeks" estimate, given ~23 days ago.

Thankfully, there are other free weather apps that work as well, or even better in several aspects, including properly-displayed wind animations, albeit with not as many details & certain types of information.

I keep 1 of them as a backup; respecting the sanctity of this forum, I'll not mention that other product here.

Thank everyone on the team for their continued efforts in resolving bugs, including this one, as soon as possible.
