Freezes
If the game freezes everywhere, suspect the GPU context. The u53 notes from 7 July 2025 say the 1.8 client cut WebGL context loss on Intel Chromebooks. If it freezes only after you join one SMP, suspect that server’s view distance or a plugin.

Separate a frozen title screen, a stalled singleplayer world and a server-only stall. That distinction guides diagnosis; it is not evidence that a particular GPU, plugin or network is responsible.
- Note whether you are in singleplayer or on a wss server.
- Lower the render distance and rejoin.
- On Chromebooks, try the current 1.8.8 client rather than an old HTML you saved last year.
- A white or stuck frame after alt-tab can be the tab-throttle bug u52 said it fixed.
Questions
The whole computer fans up and the tab dies.
Turn PBR off and close other GPU tabs. That symptom alone does not establish whether the cause is rendering load, a driver, a client error or something else.
