FULL FIX FOR THE "GRAPHICS HAVE FAILED" ON GOOGLE CHROME WHO PLAYS IN PC/DESKTOP/LAPTOP


WHAT YOU NEED:

*Older version of Google Chrome.. (I use 36.. something)
(Please note that download the google chrome older version first before proceeding because you will need to turn off your internet)

1. Uninstall Google Chrome from you computer..
(To do so.. go to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > And look for Google Chrome and double click it and please do not delete users data and caches if ask..)

2. Turn off your Internet connection.

3. Open the installer of your Older Google Chrome version, follow the steps and install.. If problem exist like "Please Close the chrome and try again" .. Please restart your PC/Laptop. And try to install the older version of Google Chrome again.

4. Google Chrome will open automatically and close it fast.

5. Go to Windows button at the left button, type "regedit" in Search box and open it.
(TRUST ME NO HARM WILL COME TO YOUR PC/DESKTOP/LAPTOP WE JUST NEED TO TURN OFF AUTOMATIC UPDATES OF YOUR OLDER VERSION GOOGLE CHROME ;))

6. When you opened regedit.. navigate to the left side and look for..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/POLICIES/GOOGLE..

7. On Google... go to right side and right click.. Click "NEW" and click "KEY"

8. Now name it.. "Update"

9. Go to Update.. go to right side again and right click.. this time click "NEW" then click "DWORD"

10. Now name it.. "AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes" (make sure the data is 0)

11. Now restart your computer again to take effects.

12. After restarting.. You can now open your Older Version of Google Chrome and PLAY AGAIN!

(If "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of Google Chrome. Some features may be unavailable. Please specify a different profile directory or use a newer version of Chrome" problem exist.. Please proceed to Step 13.)

13. Follow the instructions given on this site. :)

Can you send me a link to download it cause my google chrome version 36 keeps updating even when im turning it off and I uninstall it and delete the the previous files I need help..?
Thanks

[nelledr]

can you send me a link to download it cause my google chrome version 36 keeps updating even when im turning it off and i uninstall it and delete the the previous files i need help..?
Thanks

i suggest ... You download any standalone/offline older version of google chrome installer... And switch you internet off before installing it. :) then proceed on the regedit procedure to prevent your google chrome from updating..

[nelledr]

thank you for this guide. Under "hkey_local_machine/software/policies/google" there's no google tab there. I only have one for adobe and microsoft under policies. Is there something i'm doing wrong or another way around this?

Thanks!

thank you for reading too... :d first of all pls navigate to..
hkey_local_machine/software/policies/google

then on the right side.. Right click and click new , click key... Then name it update...

If you only have .. "hkey_local_machine/software/policies"

please reinstall your older version of google chrome...

[Madnex]

This doesn't really work unless you already had the older version standalone setup. Every link I tried either redirects to the official chrome download page which gives v37 or downloads a 800kb installer that needs internet connection alive to work and again, updates to latest version. The file size of an actual standalone setup is around 32mb - I was using the v25 one for a long while but now AL prompts you it won't play on versions below 31.

Any working links for v31-34?

[Leuidisi]

http://www.go4it.ro/download/internet/google-chrome-32-11904420/ is a version 32 36mb... it works!!

BUT I UPDATED MY ANTIVIRUS AND IT RESTARTED MY LAPTOP BUT I CAN STILL PLAY THE GAME IN MY v36 CHROME.. SO I GUESS YOU ARE JUST NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY :(

[nelledr]

i deleted, restarted and installed several different versions and it still does not list "google" under the policies section. This is somewhat of a foreign language to me so i could be doing something wrong but by following the directions, the picture below is what i get:

yes i can make one or put step by step pictures.. So what step you confused?

[Madnex]

In chrome://flags, make sure "Override software rendering list" and "Native Client" are enabled. Also, go to "GPU compositing in all pages", enable it and then put it back to default. After that, restart browser and your issue should be fixed.

And pls try the gpu thing settings that the user says above :) i remember i did that before doing the instructions i made.. Im sorry everyone im just trying to help :( Your doing something wrong on turning off google chrome update i guess.

[Madnex]

Type in your address bar:
chrome://flags

Then follow the rest of the instructions, they now make sense. >_>

Thnx sooo much!!!! After so many days of looking i found this, works 100%!!!! Thnxxx

[Shrexxxk]

What is the most suitable chrome version for playing AL? Mine is 49 and it doesn't work, I get the "Oops! graphics failed to....."

My drivers are updated and WebGL is enabled.
So much problem with the chrome version of the game, hence that explains why this game still has less player base.
Only if STS can make a game client :ambivalence:
