Driver and WebGL

[Marge_Br]

A recent Dell update has caused one of my Facebook games to be unable to use WebGL.  Since WebGL is working with my browser the next suggested fix was to update my graphics card driver.  Has anyone else had this issue?  What driver do I need for my Intel UHD Graphics 620?

Update your browser.

The problem occurs with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.  I just downloaded Firefox and it fails the same way with it as well.  The game hangs and when I reload it displays the message 'We cannot run WebGL.  Please go to WebGL (a clickable link to https://get.webgl.org/), to check that you have proper drivers installed for your graphic card and get further instructions.'  When I click the link I see a spinning cube and the message 'You should see a spinning cube. If you do not, please visit the support site for your browser.'  I ran a report chrome://gpu which I can provide.  And I Enabled the Override Software Rendering List Flag in chrome:flags.  I don't know what else to try as none of this has worked.  Here is the information for the level of Chrome I am running   

Google Chrome is up to date

Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Thank you for your response, I am open to any further suggestions.

Sorry for the delay.  Here is the data.

Hello Marge_Br,

Hello Marge_Br,

Thank you for patiently waiting.

We would like to recommend you for testing our latest generic driver, version 27.20.100.9316.

Please, follow the below steps to install it:

1. Download the latest DCH driver and save it on the computer.  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30266/Intel-Graphics-Windows-10-DCH-Drivers
2. Disconnect from the Internet so no new drivers are automatically installed by Windows Update. 
3. Uninstall the driver and the Intel Graphics Command Center from Control Panel > Programs and Features. 
4. Restart the computer. 
5. Confirm in Device Manager > Video Adapters the controller is listed as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter' > if not, repeat steps 2 through 4. 
6. If the adapter continues to be listed as ‘Intel HD Graphics’ or similar, and no other Intel Graphics driver is listed under 'Programs and Features' for removal, then it means Windows has switched to a previously installed Legacy driver. At this point we can remove Legacy drivers from Device Manager: 
   1. Right-click on 'Intel HD Graphics' or similar, and select 'Uninstall Device'
   2. In the pop-up window make sure 'Delete the driver software for this device' is checked. 
   3. Click on 'Uninstall'. 
   4. Restart. (Repeat steps 6.1 through 6.4 until the device gets listed as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter') 
7. Install the DCH driver that was downloaded in step 1. 
8. Restart the computer. 
9. Reconnect to the Internet. 

Please, test the games after the installation and let us know the outcome.

Best regards,

Maria, I followed your instructions and downloaded and installed the driver indicated.  Unfortunately the Facebook Game Criminal Case still hangs.  It doesn't happen immediately but that has always been the case.  I am not sure what their next step was going to be but it hangs the same way.  Do you have any other suggestions, is there any information I can collect for further diagnosis?  Thank you.  Marge

Hello Marge_Br,

Thank you for let us know the outcome.

We will try to replicate this in our labs. We will provide an update here as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for trying to figure this out.  This morning I had the game lock up on the computer it still runs on.  Each day you get a bonus spin and it was at the point it should have displayed the bonus wheel.  I was able to get it going again by clearing cache and shutting down and restarting Google Chrome.  Hope this helps.

Hello Marge_Br,

We are still looking into this. Can you please test a different game to verify if it works? Confirm if the issue is just with Criminal Case.

I turned on the computer I couldn't play Criminal Case on tonight and all of a sudden I can play the game again.  I don't know what changed, the system had rebooted so maybe a Windows 10 update.  I checked the graphics driver and it is level 26.20.100.8141. I don't remember what level it was before but I know it isn't the one you had me try which was 27.20.100.9316.  This was the only game I had trouble with and I don't know how to tell what games use WebGL.  I appreciate all your help and will keep you posted on how things are going.

I have the same problem.  I can add that if you turn hardware acceleration off in Chrome, with the latest driver, the game will run, but very slowly.

Please open a separate conversation for your issue so that it can be separately tracked. It doesn't matter whether you think the issue is the same; open a separate conversation please.
