<![CDATA[Web site is down]]>When can I expect the web site to be back online?

This should be fixed in the next version.

@Mavendow said in Web site is down:

But please, do tell me more about how deselecting a normal setting in every modern web browser should break the entire website. It's an interesting way of coding I've not heard of before.

I am sorry, but this statement is similar to "disabling JavaScript completely broke the page". This is not about deselecting a normal setting. WebGL is an essential technology required for implementing custom GPU-accelerated rendering, without which Windy wouldn't perform well.

Since it's unhandled.

But please, do tell me more about how deselecting a normal setting in every modern web browser should break the entire website. It's an interesting way of coding I've not heard of before.

Sarcasm aside, there should at least be a message informing users of this, not a complete crash.

Windy requires WebGL (the mentioned HW acceleration) and without it it won't load.

Uncaught Error: {"requestedAttributes":{"alpha":1,"stencil":1,"depth":1,"failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat":false,"preserveDrawingBuffer":false,"antialias":0},"statusMessage":"Could not create a WebGL context, VENDOR = 0xffff, DEVICE = 0xffff, GL_VENDOR = Disabled, GL_RENDERER = Disabled, Sandboxed = yes, Optimus = no, AMD switchable = no, Reset notification strategy = 0x0000, ErrorMessage = BindToCurrentSequence failed: .","type":"webglcontextcreationerror","message":"Failed to initialize WebGL"}

    at new Vo (leaflet-gl.js:8:274848)
    at index.js:83:7451

Solution: Turn on Graphics Acceleration (a.k.a. Hardware Video Acceleration in Firefox.) And also the devs can fix that uncaught error so the page loads, lol.

Also, can you please open the Devtools in the browser (F12) and share the screenshot from there? It would help our colleagues to get more info about the issue, you have.

I discussed this with colleagues responsible for this and we don't see any larger outage anywhere for now, so we would need more info.

Or do you mean only certain parts or data in Windy?

If you do, can you tell us from which region you are?
