    I did everything, I enabled the flags but now it just says: Failed to initialize graphics. You may need to update your graphic drivers.

    For anyone else with this problem, do this(already helped Cyto in chatbox):

    --type "about:flags" in again
    --this time enable "Override software rendering list"

    and it should work.

    Before going this route, you should make sure your drivers are up to date, since this means you're letting chrome use hardware acceleration even though your current drivers are on its blacklist for being incompatible and/or buggy.

    I didn't get this problem until I updated my drivers for BF3. Just curious, why would the newer drivers be blacklisted, and the older ones not?

    Default Same problem

    I have changed everything in the about:flags window. Still seeing same error. "You may need to update your graphic drivers." I have a mac. Is that the problem? With OS X 10.5.8 No clue. Think I'm seeing ppl with same problem. I dont know how to update graphic drivers. When I search it oon my computer nothing comes up. Plus my mac updates itself, at least that's what I thought. Hope Someone can help, fingers crossed!

    Give it sometime please. You must understand all of this chrome playing is still in the beta trials. They'll get it worked out.

    Drivers update every so often, you don't need to buy a new one.

    1. go to your start menu and click on run program
    2. type in dxdiag
    3. it should pop a window that has all the info of your computer. Click on Display and somewere in that, it will say your graphics driver.

    Copy all the info down on a piece of paper, go to the official TM website of your specific driver, and look for the option to update.

    This doesn't sound like mac procedure.
